This might mean they wanted to get rid of Steam Machine business quickly.
Please, let me be overly pessimistic with this.

Same here, for me it's probably the best game I've ever played.
It might be worth for you to take a look at SOMA. While it's a different genre, horror instead of puzzler, and it does not yield it's philosophical questions via tons of texts, it still reminded me of The Tals Principle - and Anmesia, of course.

I'm still trying to survive This War of Mine,
solved my first puzzles in The Talos Principle: Road To Gehenna
and I had a great session of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime with my non-gaming fiancé!

Quoting: natewardawgEdit: It looks like they've moved the files now so your download should work if you use the new links available in their forum post: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-on-linux-release-notes-and-known-issues.350256/ [External Link]
It's till hard to get for me (it's the link in the last post, right?), but with wget, I succeeded, it just reconnects after the disconnect.

Quoting: FeistIs it really confirmed that neither of these titles will come to Linux though? All I've read about either one is hearsay, speculation and pessimistic assumptions.
Shmerl told in the forum that he recently got this answer from CDPR when asking aboout Witcher 3:

> We don’t have any new information unfortunately.

I cannot imagine that they would give such an answer if they never intended to port Witcher 3.
I can hardly imagine such an answer if hey would have given up on it either.
It might mean something like "We have somone trying, but are not sure it will work out."

Good one! (I better start noting down, because Steam only shows the last 14 days. :) )

My First Hours With A Steam Link

Quoting: MyeulCI haven't tried the steam link itself, but I was able to play some games quite fine with steam in-home streaming with powerline adapters.
Cool, thanks for sharing!

I'm not looking out for the Link itself, I already have got a HTPC (VDR) Linux box at my TV and wonder what I can do with it Steam-wise... :) It may even run smaller games on its own.

I'm already looking for some modern MiMo powerline adapters.
