Insurgency FPS adds official Steam Controller support, better gamepad support overall
21 Dec 2015 at 3:15 pm UTC

There's (fairly fun) CO-OP gamemodes where you play against bots. If you get good you could possibly get somewhere in that even on controller, on the easiest difficulty (it still gets hilariously hard on the higher ones).

I can't help myself but this isn't a ripoff of Rust then nothing is.

Does anybody else have severe desync issues when trying to play with somebody who's on Windows?

Quoting: StebsI guess one can play with linux client against windows clients, or is it linux -> linux only?
Maybe I should give this try, after I stopped WoT a while ago (Windows Game loader needed and Gold munition needed in Top Tiers to be really competitive, got annoying after all).
It's Windows/Linux/Mac and even PS4 on a single set of shared servers.

Quoting: segulehI didn't notice any changes after patch, maybe because I can't play WT:Ground Forces on max settings. Funny thing: after patch release many of players (including me :)) shoot at random buildings - not one of it was destructible.
The destructible buildings feature is only functional on Berlin map right now, and I think partially on the two new maps.

Valve Has No Plans To Bring Dota 2 Workshop Tools To Linux

Honestly, Dota 2 workshop tools are such a niche thing that only so few people gonna use, that I don't really see justification of letting even smaller slice of that slice get to use the tools.

If they were real chums they would go "here's github with the sourcecode, go wild" but that's sadly not how Valve rolls.

Saints Row: The Third Also Looks Like It's Coming To Linux

Quoting: Comandante oardoUnfortunately, the Linux version of this game will be Steam exclusive, like both Metro Redux games.. That's sad..
I want my games DRMFREE... I like to own my games, and not to rent them.

I have a love-hate relationship with Steam...
Steam is a DRM. I dont like DRM.... But Steam is on Linux and like the Linux philosophy, that why I'm gonna make another Steam account only for use it on Linux.
I am not an authority to speak on this and I am rather lazy about looking into the Terms of Service, but I am quite sure that if you buy games on steam, you legally own them. Some years back, Gabe Newell wowed that if by any chance Steam goes under, they will give people the option to download and save the games and play them without Steam, but who knows how would that go.

Also I might be completely wrong here but doesn't Vulkan itself have something like OpenGL legacy mode?

Isn't OpenGL and OpenGL|ES going to both eventually be deprecated? I thought that the idea behind Vulkan was that it will directly replace it.

I mean, Khronos responsible for OpenGL. If they say it's done then it's done.
