Tomb Raider, the excellent 2013 game is officially coming to Linux from Feral Interactive

Quoting: hidekinDoes it works if you remove the game from your library and buy the game again ?
You need to contact steam support to remove a game.
I really would go for gifting the game or buying DLCs instead.

Quoting: damarrinHmm, I already have this on Steam (caved in when it was released to try it in Wine). I wonder how I can give Feral some money...

How much icon grinding is it? I liked the first hours of Shadow of Mordor, but then, in felt more like work than like fun...

Quoting: RichieEBI really want to buy it on its sale but everything being digital and having 8-50kbps is just not worth downloading 1-15GB.
Genrally slow line or just having problems with Steam downloads?
There are possible workarounds for the later:

Life Is Strange looks like it's being ported to Linux by Feral Interactive

Quoting: rkfg
Quoting: EikeIf it comes as a native port, I will try it.
Feral doesn't make wrapped "ports", they always go full native.
I know, but it left me with a small portion of doubt that it was from the Mac depot and that Feral sometimes does Mac only. But... everything is going to be alright! :)

If it comes as a native port, I will try it. Will open the spoiler boxes after playing and see if I would have been warned... :)

Vulkan at GDC videos now up, with Valve talking about porting Source 2 to Vulkan

Quoting: alexgol
Quoting: PeciskI hope Sony involvment means they look for possibility to add Vulkan API to PS4. Considering Vulkan driver is so much easier to support and it is much closer to what they have now, it would be a killer move.
?????
Easier to support than what?
Both XBone and PS4 dont need Vulkan or DX12. Games are developed
particularly for their hardware.
Some games for sure, but I wonder why there are more games for Linux than for XBone, PS4, XBox 360 or PS3 already...
