Nvidia hosted a Vulkan Developers Day which sounds awesome

Quoting: NyamiouI would be very surprised and disappointed if some game developers still choose DirectX 12 over Vulkan, but we'll see.
They totally will, and they even will use it as a PR subject.
Game X - making use of incredible DirectX 12 feature Y and Z!

That Dragon, Cancer is now doing a Linux release on Steam

I don't think we should be angry on them. Seeing Steam Machines as consoles is a valid view point, and I understand signing exclusive deals - in the end, you need some money, and you may prefer assured money to potential one. And we are getting the game in the end. And poking did help.

Hit indie game Undertale looks like it's coming to Linux & SteamOS

It looks sooo ugly!
But then, To the Moon did as well, and I loved it in the end.

The 2015 GamingOnLinux GOTY award is now over, here's the results!

One remark: The major category of such a vote IMHO is "Best game". I would put this result at the end of the article, not somewhere in the middle. Create some tension, some step-up! :)

OUYA is blocking a Linux version of That Dragon, Cancer being on Steam

Why would Ouya oppose a Linux version on Steam?
Did we already arrive at step three of the saying...?
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.


*edit* Ah, ok, the tweets explain it.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroAlso, I'm glad someone took the job from removing Broken Age from every single category - apparently someone's idea of a sick joke.
I liked it. Not a "GOTY" like, but a "got entertained" like.

Homefront: The Revolution aiming for a day-1 Linux & SteamOS release on May 20th

Any information if it's done in-house or by an external porter?

Quoting: Xpanderdon't get me wrong. its a nice game, but imo apart from the amazing city, the story wasnt anything special to me, pretty much same as previous bioshock games in general. though i have only 5 hours into the game or something like that, but it didnt pull me in because of being nothing special.
I guess there's a point where a game (movie, book, whatever) has lost and cannot pull someone in anymore if it hasn't already done, so maybe Bioshock Infinite won't succeed on you anymore. But it's story really should only be judged after playing (not watching) through the whole game. It's a deserved clear win to me.

XCOM 2 is starting to look mighty interesting

Quoting: Stupendous ManThis is the first game in a long time that I'm actually thinking of buying at release. I won't preorder though, I see absolutely no incentive to do so, and too much risk.
I'll probably wait for the first few Linux reviews to come out and then but it. Then again, I'd kind of like to play through X-Com Enemy Unknown again first; after having played X-Com 2 I probably won't go back to the first one again.
If you haven't yet played Enemy Within, I'd choose this.

But we're talking about turn "timers", not, ermm... real-time timers, right?
