Quoting: PangachatNo support = no support i must play this one on Windows too.Or you could try it on Linux, giving them some money to make their support even better, find out if it works and help them with your feedback - and only play it on Windows if it really doesn't work. Many people have reported that games offically not supported on AMD ran well nevertheless.

Quoting: nocriI just hope that by MINIMUM they mean minimum to play in 1920 ... I hope my 740M can render it at >=25 fps in resolution 1366 on lowest details, because it's already preordered :)I think "... at full HD" is the usual understanding of these requirements nowadays.

I'm getting close to minimum with my GTX660 these days.
Time to upgrade, but I wanted to wait for this year's new chip generation.

American Truck Simulator has an early release, day one for Linux

But funnily, I've read that it's not uncommon that such simulator games are played by people who have the very same job. Farmers playing farming simulators (you can ride the new tractor there you could never afford in real life!) and even subway drivers "playing" the new subway simulator - and yes, it does exist [External Link]!
I guess truck simulators have one more thing that many of us ordinary people imagine truck riding as the world of the free, lone rider (while in reality it isall about how long you can hold your pee of course ;) ).

Quoting: LarianWhat is the appeal of these truck driving games? I was an OTR driver for 7 years all over the lower 48 states, and for the life of me I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this for fun. I'd rank it up there with (hopefully) non-existent titles such as "Factory Worker Simulator" or "McDonald's Lunchtime Rush".So for sure you're a special one concerning this game. Most of us just aren't, never have been and never will be truck drivers in real life.

Valve have finally fixed the upcoming SteamOS & Linux game filter, nearly a year later

Good news that is! I offten looked through the games to come and had to look for the SteamOS on my own. Not hard to do of coursee but still annoying.
Quoting: 14Can we also filter our library to Linux games even if we're running in Windows? Last I checked, I had to be in Linux to filter my library by OS.You can always explicitely choose SteamOS/Linux and deselect Windows. (Except for the upcoming section, where it didn't work.)
No, Linux is not at 1900 games on Steam, we didn't get 100 games in nine days

I wonder what has changed...

To get the correct reading you need to filter by Games only, and by Release Date. The default sorting option "Relevance" includes all games on Linux now, and games yet to come out. This took no time at all to figure out, I simply clicked the last page in the list to see games not yet available.I always used the "Relevance" sorting for getting the numbers as well, and it used to be only slightly off from the "Date" sorting.

Looks like Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry was removed from Steam, oh my

Quoting: GuestBut for some reason it’s exactly the opposite that happens… Reviews with no information get upvoted, and informative reviews often get downvoted.I wonder if some people give thorough reviews a "TL;DR" downvote.
Steam now has over 1800 games available for SteamOS & Linux

I'm already getting over 1900 (1904 + at least 4 games not available in my country) today
- anybody knows what happened? A truckload of shovelware? Or of oldies?
Edit: Hm... The difference between the number of games shown when sorted by relevance and the number shown when sorted by date also seems to have increased, it's 90 now and AFAIR it used to be less than a dozen.

About this developer: Fortunately, he didn't make a game I care for. If he would, he wouldn't get my money neither if he doesn't port.

Quoting: scaineI disagree. That would just be positive reinforcment. I like how this site shows the good and bad in a (mostly) neutral light. I say mostly, because there are occasional editorials, and that's what editorials are for. Opinion.+1
