I'm glad for the move. Now if only they would open soruce the Steam client and their game engine.
World of Goo 2 launches in May on the Epic Store - but Linux support from their website

My priority is DRM free so even if the game was on Steam if there was a DRM free version on their site i'd pick that. I'd prefer Itch.io or GOG but I never was going to touch the Epic store.

Never heard of Mordheim but i'll give pretty much anything 40K a try, especially for free.

I always try to use the packages in my distro's repo but Flatpak has become my go to when that's not a viable option. AppImage isn't bad either.
Ubisoft think gamers need to get comfortable with not owning games

Even when I was willing to buy games from store clients that took my freedom away I never paid for a game through uPlay. Always found it to be the worst of the worst. The only Ubisoft games I have purchased in the last ten years have been on GOG. I guess you could say I never got used to their idea and never will.
Valve seeing increasing bug reports due to Steam Snap - other methods recommended

On my Trisquel system I had success using the Flatpak for Steam. I would never use a Snap of anything myself.
Unity announced big changes following the hated Runtime Fee

Quoting: baconcowI've already switched to Godot and ported what I had there. It isn't much, but I don't plan on going back. Always online, for a development environment, is trash. Their top executives clear well over $100 million. Apparently, they are spending half a billion yearly on marketing. If they are bleeding profit and want ways to get back in the green, going after the developers profits should not be their first priority.

Quoting: HighballI started with Godot a year ago. I saw the writing on the wall with Unity, which is why I chose to learn Godot. The recent debacle just cemented my decision from a year ago. I hope this will give the current Unity developers the off ramp they need and I hope they take it.

Care to link to your games ? Always looking for more Linux games that use a FOSS engine.
Microsoft - keep your filthy hands off Valve, leak shows MSFT would buy Valve

As mentioned before Valve is a private company and that will mean that Gabe would have to say yes not shareholders. This is the exact reason why anyone who takes their company public is insane because once you do it is no longer your company.
Terraria dev Re-Logic donates $100K to Godot Engine and FNA, plus ongoing funding

Terraria isn't my cup of tea but maybe i'll give it a purchase just to support Re-Logic.
Robot Gentleman dev of 60 Seconds! blasts Unity, switches to Godot and increases funding

Good choice on their part for switching to Godot. Hopefully they actually make a Linux version of their games at some point.
