Quoting: GuestBut honestly, the HIBs are the only thing I buy there nowadays, as anything else is either windows- or steam-only. That the store page doesn't even load properly in my browser might be an additional point....
Yeah, they've gone mostly Windows for their other offers. It's nice they keep with Linux (and Mac) for the traditional bundle, though. But I've got so many unplayed games from bundles and my pile of shame that I refrain from buying the bundles nowadays.

Quoting: GuestI don't believe my eyes... A game that supports Linux but not OS X? Is this a first among commercial game releases to do this?
There are quite of few of these already. Just look through the Linux catalogue on Steam...

Looks like Evolve might still come to Linux & SteamOS

By the way, no matter the current community size, we always might end up with no crossplatform multiplayer.

Quoting: MaxPowerAlso I found it very difficult to buy games full price when I have to wait a long time to cope on Linux. That's why day 1 release are very important.
Same here. Waited for a sale on Grid: Autosport, happily bought Xcom 2 for full price.

Quoting: scaineYeah, Evolve might be beyond saving, sadly.



Looks like it was popular at one point though. Still £25 to buy too!
I'm not finding this kind of statistics, how do you get there?

Let's be realistic, some Mac and Linux gamers won't revive a gaming community, they'd just jump into a game that basically seems to be dead. Too bad, I was looking forward for that one once upon a time.

Steam beta client adds Vulkan support, plus some handy Steam Controller adjustments

Quoting: EdmeneThe bad part of the update is that makes GRID: Autosport run at least for me in "background" only with the sounds of the videos and menu, in SteamOS killing the game is the only way of going back to steam menu and in Arch using it in windowed mode solves the problem.
Ah! I had the same effect (on Debian) and no idea where it came from, because I tried quite a lot to make my new Steam Controller work. Thanks for pointing out!

Quoting: minjSpeaking of controllers... I still need to replace the xpad driver in linux44 with one from steamos to get my xbox360 wired controller running. I remember seeing some talk of those improvements reaching the mainline kernel long ago. What gives?

Or is it my system only?
Xbox 360 wired controller should be the easiest case there is, and it is running out-of-the-box on my Debian stable with kernel 3.16's xpad driver...
