He said "Linux"! :D

DiRT Rally also looks like it's coming to SteamOS & Linux

Quoting: chelobakaI noticed that porters use similar pattern for executable names in SteamDB.

These are from VP:
launch/4/executable: Binaries\Linux\bioshock › ./bioshock
launch/1/executable: ./dirt


These are from Feral:
launch/2/executable: GridAutosport.sh
launch/2/executable: AlienIsolation.sh


And this is from Dirt Rally:
launch/1/executable: DirtRally.sh

I guess it's obvious.

Update:
launch/2/executable: LifeIsStrange.sh
Yeah!

Thanks for poiting out!

Quoting: GuestHaha, well, I was hoping for a fun racing game but now I know this won’t be it. Probably just another incredibly hard and unfun simulation like Grid Autosport.
AFAIK, it's much more simulation, so much harder, so probably much too hard for people like me.

Quoting: PeciskBut as regarding these bad posts it is worth politely contact media and inform them if they got something wrong.
I did for c't, pointing out the driver problem.

Quoting: toorThe most famous french video game website also just released an article about how "failure steam is with linux". Claiming that it's not going well at all and will disappear.
Do you think microsoft is getting major video game medias to give a bad image of steamOS ? :þ
I'll never ever believe they would take money for such artices, but I do need to mention:
Renowned German (paper) computer magazine "c't", AFAIK the computer magazine with most subscribers in whole Europe, has written a slating review about "disastrous" XCOM 2 Linux port (they've use the bad nvidia driver...):

Microsoft's latest tactics show Gabe Newell of Valve was right to worry

Quoting: StyromaniacI'm not worried even though they're buying exclusives. Vulkan, open source philosophy, Windows frustrations abound, and HTC Vive have entered the fray. Need I say more?

"OS: Windows 7 SP1 or newer."
Yeah, a current Linux is newer, but I don't think the mean it like that...

Deponia Doomsday: initial thoughts and early review

Breaking the fourth wall is ok, funny somtimes, though I feel Poki overdoes it - but it shouldn't be (secret) part of a puzzle.

BTW, of Metal Gear, I only played the original Metal Gear 1 and 2 on my MSX back then. :)
