Civilization VI for Linux is no longer certain, only a possibility

I really hope this is just someone being careful with commitments, CivV and Civ:BE were both great ports and I would _really_ like to see CivVI on Linux.

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Omg I want this. I played hell out of Sim Tower back in the day.
I have to second that, I found the complexity of SimTower absolutely fascinating. Hopefully the recipe stands the test of time :)

Is there some reason it's $5 more on the store than on Steam?

"I know the service was slow, the food was unappetizing, and the waiter spit in your coffee, but please be as grateful as possible that you were served anything at all."

Yeah, how about no.
Then don't go into a restaurant that has a sign outside that says your not welcome, wait until the sign changes.

Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition May Actually Hit The Linux Release Next Month

I know a lot of people bought this game on the Linux promise, and it sucks that it has taken this long, but please be as grateful as possible when this comes out. If we don't "return the favor" then it will just reinforce stereotypes about our community that have contributed to the situation we've had for so long where companies don't make games for our platform.

Personally, I haven't bought this game yet because I've been waiting for the Linux support - and I _do_ plan to buy it when it comes out to show my support. I really hope that others do as well, because if nobody buys it when the Linux support is released then they're going to scream "only Windows users matter" like we've heard time and time again. They cannot tell the difference between Windows users and people that buy on the promise of a Linux release, so please don't buy on promise - buy on release.

Weird, it appears to be even more expensive at the Feral store ($59.99) than the non-discounted steam price ($49.99):

Edit: they've updated the price, wow that was fast.

Maybe this is the "all hands on deck" project. I really hope so, that would be amazing!

War For The Overworld Released Out Of Early Access, Conquer The Overworld

I've been doing some volunteer Linux QA for them for some time, so if anyone has any trouble with it then let me know and I'll try to help. I finally played through the campaign for the release and I have to say that I _really_ enjoyed the game. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoyed DKII.

Age Of Wonders III Now In Open Beta For Linux

Quoting: DevlinIf I buy the game now on Steam and play the beta it will count as Linux sale?
I just asked that question [External Link] on the forum, hopefully we'll hear back.
