Looks like Homefront: The Revolution might be gearing up for a Linux release now

I hope it sells well enough on Linux.
I guess I would give it a go with a Linux release sale.
Wouldn't have bought it back in my Windows times...

The Steam Hardware Survey for September 2016 shows Linux has grown some more
2 Oct 2016 at 5:48 pm UTC

Quoting: Aimelaalthough I still use it to play certain games, so I'm glad I didn't get the survey there
You can always decline to take it.

(Which by the way would make a general survey non-representative as well, as we would gladly take the survey, but Windows users may have a higher chance to decline.)

Steam Hardware Weekend sale, bag some cheap kit, Steam Controller now has accessories

Quoting: HoriAnd the carrying case is very good as well, I'd rather keep that and get rid of the original box, if it has special pockets for the data cable and the wireless receiver extender (I don't want them loose in there and potentially scratch my SC)
Looks like it has enough space:

Quoting: HoriIt may be OCD, or it may not, but I really want my SC to be perfect, since it's very precious for me (my first real controller, bought from my very first own money -first salary-, and I also love the way it works and feels)
I totally understand that feelings.

InXile Entertainment announced Wasteland 3, will use crowdfunding on fig
29 Sep 2016 at 10:22 am UTC

Quoting: DrMcCoyThat reminds me: I still need to play Wasteland 2. I started it, got about half-way, then suspended it for a bit (RL, other games) and suddenly, there was a Director's Cut. So I need to restart from scratch there. :)
Couldn't you just continue playing instead? Or is the director's cut that greater? I was more than happy with the ordinary version...

Quoting: BeamboomHow was any software house able to produce anything before the crowdfunding services arrived? How could commercial software exist in the pre-crowdfund era?
Publishers.
... and either these still did not understand that people want such old-school games (which I can hardly imagine), or developers want to have more freedom by not being tightly bound to a publicher.

Steam now has above 2,500 Linux & SteamOS games available

Quoting: GuestThen DOOM happened.
I don't think there can be anything like this anymore without a whole new technology.
Like VR.
But then, people need to have their hands on the new technology...

Quoting: MegazellFor example on STEAM, reviewers on Linux should denote that somehow. I tend to post my distro for the games I review. I should do it more often, tho.
Just had the same thought. :) I have "Runs fine for me on Linux." as the last sentence of a review. Should do that every time (when it's true, obviously). Just to remind people every now and then that Linux gaming is a thing and that the game they're interested in runs on Linux.

The Long Dark gets a massive update, which fixes a critical Linux audio bug

While they may be doing everything right with their way of doing early access, this sounds like a game I would want to experience in full beauty from the beginning.

A game I will probably take a look at - when it's ready.
