Psychonauts 2 releases to great reviews but the Linux support is delayed

Quoting: NociferWhich means that they've intentionally used tech that they know is neither portable to Linux and Mac (i.e. they'll need to replace all the WMF stuff in their code before they even think of porting) nor possible to be used with Proton in the meantime, which of course means no playing this on the Steam Deck. If this isn't a deliberate act of sabotaging a competitor, I don't know what it is.
Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. I'd be surprised if this was anything but the usual short shortsightedness that's ubiquitous in game development.

3.0 years old, is it 1994 already? Is Linux 1.1.48 Y2K compatible or is that planned for version 2.0?

The ridiculous Killer Bean is getting a third-person shooter video game

Graphics in the game actually looks better than the movie. They could just machinima the whole thing in the game engine for a remaster!

Also, didn't watch the movie, but if the soundtrack doesn't include a parody of a certain Queen song I would be so disappointed:

"He's a Killer Bean
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?"

Quoting: TcheyOne game i really want to play, "Ultimate Space Commando", still doesn’t launch at all, with all Proton and EG versions i tried, and command lines.

One day, maybe, one day...
I can't find any bugs filed about that game. Consider filing one [External Link] if you have time.

The original Quake got a new enhanced edition, Steam Play tool Luxtorpeda updated for it

Quoting: gbudnyThe low sales of Quake 3 for Linux were the main reason that Loki was closed.
The whole thing was somewhat of a clusterfudge as I recall.

Loki decided to sell the native version in an exclusive metal box. Far more expensive than the Windows version. Meanwhile id published Linux binaries to download.

Most people where to excited to wait for the Linux version, simply bought the Windows version and called it a day.
