We Happy Few to release on Linux after the full release, not during Early Access

Quoting: TheGZeusAnother procedurally generated survival crafting game.
That really is disappointing. I somehow expected a story-focused action adventure with an original style and premise.

Quoting: scaineAll supported platforms should progress at the same rate, really, or we're risking the usual lag after release before the Linux version comes out.
True, but game developers have slightly different priorities than gamers. Or open source projects. It's quicker to test and debug on one platform than all of them, and usually there's a valid reason (money) to get the finished product out of the door as quickly as possible. Even if development was done on all platforms simultaneously, it makes sense for a small team to initially concentrate their efforts and limited resources towards whichever platform is most profitable. I do get your point though.

Well, duh! Both are extremely realistic simulations of life in Great Britain. Of course they'd be similar.

There is a demo available now for ‘Epistory: Typing Chronicles’, a Bastion-like typing adventure

Thanks for letting us know. I really like the pretty origami-like presentation, though the blur effect just had to go. I'll have to finish the demo before I decide how high it'll end up on my loooong wishlist.

Refunct, the short and peaceful first-person platformer is now on Linux, I have some free keys for you

It looks nice, but ~20 mins of gameplay? Many if not most free demos take longer to complete. I'll probably buy it anyway at some point.

GOG withdraw their statement about The Witcher 3 never planned for Linux, they have no idea

Sure, blame the tax havens.
I'd prefer to have low taxes everywhere but since that's not the case, yes, I blame them.
That's like blaming the bartender for your alcoholism. I doubt anybody forced GOG execs to register their company in a tax haven. But we're going way off topic here.

The Steam Hardware Survey for August 2016 shows Linux has grown again

Quoting: GuestLack of a competitive e-mail client is truly the bane of Linux for business. If it wasn't for that, Linux would have a much easier time competing in the business space.
Sure, Evolution isn't a dream, but neither is Outlook. And Thunderbird does everything a small business needs and more. It certainly has served us well all these years.

Sure, users are resistant to change, especially when is comes with a learning curve, but that tells very little of the quality of the software in question.

EDIT: Oh, forgot Zimbra, but Mohandevir's got it covered.

The Witcher 3 was apparently never planned for Linux

Sad, but I'll live. TW2 was great though, go play it if you haven't. It's works fine on its own.

Editorial: I ditched SteamOS in favour of a normal Linux distribution for my gaming

Quoting: skinnyrafThat's honest and open, though not very optimistic to us Linux gamers.
Yeah, I've seen this interview before. It might not show marketing levels of optimism, but I don't think it's damning either. Seems like they see the experiment as a success and are open to further development.
