I bet they will provide the missing library in the repository once 16.04 LTS is released.

I started playing today (with the old client) using runescape-launcher, and I'm so far impressed. It's certainly feature rich and fun.

This one certainly looks fun and could be good to play with steam controller. Looking forward to it.

Hmh, I love paradox, but they yet have to produce a game I like. The missing control during combat pretty much always is the fun-killer for me.

Quoting: GuestCool, I hope it will work on most linux distros and not only Ubuntu with pulseaudio. If I can play it on Gentoo I’ll certainly try it.

Well, I can understand why many developers prefer pulse over alsa. Alsa is a mess :D.

Read that yesterday too ... was excited about it. 18th April will be the day where I try Runescape again. I would like a (for me) new playable MMO, and Runescape seems like a game which I could like.

Albion isn't for my taste, and SotA is heading a direction I don't like, so it won't probably be for me either (I kickstarted it, so I'll try it again after release).

If more people want to try it here: How about a GoL guild to level together? :D.

Quoting: HamishJust as long as the bugs from the original beta ports do not re-manifest themselves here. ;)

I wonder how long this will take to reach the AUR.

Some issues were already fixed, mostly with menu, tooltips, compute and sound (which was a major pain for me in the betas which were available). Even some network code was fixed (as the error when levels finished).

The difference is: everything we stumble across now, we can fix :-).

The Witness may one day see a Linux port, for fun or for ideological purposes

Well, even if based on sales of Ubuntu Software Center (which seriously I think nobody ever used), and I think that Steam has a lot of more to offer, Steam has it's own issue: A huge load of smaller/indie games, which makes it hard to stand out for the developers so they actually get people to buy their game. New releases get pushed down pretty fast, so the effect of releasing a game being a few days on-top of new releases is pretty limited.

I've noticed this myself, looking over the lists once a week, I sometimes found some funny games which I completely missed out in the first place. And I guess I'm one of the few really doing that.

Sword Coast Legends developer n-space has closed up shop

Hmh, I bought the game, but didn't get around playing it too much. I liked what I saw so far. Ye, it could have been better - could have been a lot worse too. Though, never bringing it into connection with D&D it would probably have had a completely different reception.

It's sad seeing them closing the doors. I wish all of them good luck finding a new job.
