Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWhen WINE 8.0 be integrated into WINE GE (Lutris GE) or PROTON GE?

GE follows Proton Experimental so presumably only after Valve makes the jump to 8.0?

Quoting: CybolicOh, that's a tricky one! While I like pretty much everything about the concept, I also dislike pretty much everything about the audio :/
If there's an option to disable the soundtrack and voices, I'm in :grin:

I quite liked the soundtrack. It's the shirt on the driver I have a problem with. I think neither TÛV, the DMV or the MOT would approve of it for driving (or flying)!

Another fun little fact:

There are more native Linux games scheduled for release on Steam during 2023 than the total amount published during the year 2013, and we're still only in January...

Quoting: nitro322From my perspective, more rare based on drm-free, Linux native games. I don't have any stats to determine whether this is accurate, but it sure feels like native Linux games are in a decline since the mid 2010s now that everyone's happy to just publish on steam or, worst, publish just publish a Windows version that might run on Linux via wine.

FWIW there were 1424 native Linux games released (on Steam) last year. That's an all time high! 2021 had 1217 new releases.

For comparison with the mid-2010s, 843 in 2015. Much much less if you go back further.

The native Linux game is alive and well! At least on Steam.

I think somebody is eagerly awaiting the release of Tax Return Simulator 2023 (with the Form 1120 DLC). Will it be Deck verified you think?

Quoting: ShmerlInteresting. How did you crunch the numbers for it?

Just doing manual searches on the GOG page.

I tried GOG Database [External Link], but it doesn't really allow any sort of filtering or advanced searches.

I was curious what the numbers was for GOG compared to Steam, and there was actually quite a dip for new native releases during the last year:

60 2022
85 2021
112 2020
98 2019
109 2018

Note: This only counts new game releases for a particular year, not titles newly released on GOG.

I think this reflects more on the state of GOG and their lukewarm appreciation of Linux gamers and developers rather than the state of (native) Linux gaming.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI like the idea of these games, but I really suck at actually playing them. I end up wandering around the few areas I have access to, continuing to miss what the hell stuff I have to find and do to get anywhere interesting.

Walkthroughs are allowed :smile:

Very cool! 4 and 5 are already supported by ScummVM, we'll soon have the complete collection!
