Quoting: TheSHEEEPIt's not that I couldn't imagine some dev that is in love with the Deck for some reason creating a game specifically made for the Deck's somewhat unique input system.
Or that Valve would fund such a thing.
Might be fun, but if that ever happens, it'll be a gigantic rarity and the dev will get a lot of flak if they don't also enable it on normal PC platforms.

I want to see bundles with games for:

- Windows/Linux/Mac
- Windows/Mac
- Windows/Linux
- Linux/Mac
etc.

Valve should stop require rights to publishing a Windows version if a company want to sell only a Linux version.

Exclusives titles for Linux have two meanings:

- games that you can play only on Linux
- games ported by a Linux publisher

We don't have these options with Steam, which is weird.

Hi

I think that right now Linux users have other issues because we slowly start to loose companies that built the success of this platform. Alternative Games disappeared, and nobody noticed it. They ported many great games to Linux, and they have been doing that for 11 years.

Now, we can really forget about Frozenbyte games for Linux. The Linux team from IGIOS founded this company, and a few employees from previous company ported two first games for Linux that used NVIDIA PhysX in 2009. They are responsible for The Humble Frozenbyte Bundle because they ported most of these games to Linux and Mac.

Ii will be fun to have few popular indie games exclusively for Linux, and it takes some time when it happens. We had Voltley, which was exclusive game for Linux, and I regret that I didn't bought it. The author of this game is unknown, and we don't get this game on Steam. This is one of the reasons why Runesoft, and LGP couldn't publish their games on Steam. I hope that Valve chenge their mind about this issue, and allow publishing separate games for Linux.

Quoting: gbudnyThis is great!

I'm pretty sure that I saw somewhere articles from 2009, but I can't find anything:

"Welcome to GamingOnLinux

I tied to use archive.org, but I couldn't do it:

Sorry.

We were on a .info domain name originally, and for some reason Wayback won't unblock this one despite repeated requests.

Thank you for the answer.

I didn't expect this kind of behavior from them, which is disappointing.

Thank you for the article.

I don't have this game, but it's still on my list.

I'm not sure if you saw it.
There are some excellent instructions with tricks for the Linux verion of this games, and even a patch. These instructions are in German, but you can use the Google translate:

Great!

Does nobody remember Black Shades for Linux?

It was simple, fun, and tricky at the same time.

Fedora always had issues with NVIDIA drivers, and I don't think they are going to change it:

It's not a terrible operating system, but it's less stable and more problematic even than Debian testing. I think there are more stable versions of Red Hat than Fedora.

I'm happy that Croteam is creating another game for Linux with Room-C Games.

Thank you for the article.

It's one of my favorite games for Linux.

I tried to install it on Ubuntu 64-bit a few days ago, but it crashes at startup - it's terrible.
However, I keep older versions of Linux distributions like Linux Mint from 2010, and it allowed me to have some fun playing SOF for Linux without using any tricks.

Unfortunately, SOF for Linux sometimes crashes to the desktop with the segmentation fault error. I don't remember any situation when I had to reboot my computer when I played it.

I also played SOF 2 for Mac, but it's a different game than the previous one. I remember that I was disappointed when I bought it.

Soldier of Fortune: Payback wasn't ported to any Unix-like operating system, and it's the best reason to skip it.
