May I ask what the connection between Games Republic and GoL is?
I expected some affiliate link, but it seems the link is neutral, so how does GoL take profit from buying at Games Republic?

Quoting: edgleyAs an example; Bioshock Infinate, on pretty much max settings (except AA and shadows) I get a near constant 60 fps, with a few dips to 40-50 range. Cities Skyline, on a completely empty map, I get 40 fps max on almost all lowest settings. Wasteland 2 I get anywhere between 10 and 60 fps on medium settings.
Wasteland 2 works very well on my system (Intel 4 core & GTX 660), while Bioshock Infinite serverly laged (with vsync) and still has such big lags at loading new parts of a scene that I wouldn't want to play it on Linux. I did try to follow the publishers hints on this, which did not help, while the game worked well on the same system back then on Windows.

Have you got some names for me?
Seems like I've been lucky. :)

Quoting: adolsonIt seems like Linux support actually is a relatively high priority, considering they released it simultaneously and the fact that they even released it at all. Your final verdict seems to also indicate this, considering it's a Unity title, and more often than not, they are rife with problems on Linux; it seems they may have actually tested it, too.
I wonder where this bad impression of Unity games on this website comes from. I've played many of them on Linux (a dozen?), and I can't remember a single problem.

PAYDAY 2 Is Not Only Coming To Linux, But Will See Another 2 Years Of Support

Quoting: morbiusI was very much into this game until I've seen on Steam that it's a Paradox-style DLC fiesta. I hate developers who keep endlessly nickel-and-diming their customers.
Yes this statement bothered me as well. DLC is only a problem if the base game is expensive and doesn't have much content. Otherwise, it's a great way to progressively invest in a game if you really like it. DLC is also the only way a developer can keep producing content for a game post release, hence why Paradox does it, because they support their games over the long term.
I don't know how Payday handles it, but it might impose special problems with multiplayer games. If you've got less and less people you could play with, becoause most oft them get the DLCs and you don't, it might degrade you experience.

Still not sure if it's about all accounts or only the ones they've sent mails to...

Interesting read!
(And please nobody flame at him for using "PC" for Windows. He's taking efforts for Linux gaming!)

PS: The copy of his article at the gamedev reddit has some more interesting info of the devs in the comments:
