Arma 3 Available For Linux In A Beta

I do expect they take it to the next level (release date), until then I don't want to buy the game for a beta with potentials bugs that may never be fixed.

Rocket League Officially Coming To Linux/SteamOS, Rocket League & Portal 2 Free With Steam Hardware
28 Aug 2015 at 2:22 am UTC

Cool! This game is very good and at first they said that they could not port the game to Linux due to licensing issues and because didn't think the market share was worth it, I'm happy that they finally reconsider. This game is incredibly popular right now, having it on Steam OS will certainly help the success of Steam Machines.

Not sure I want to pay 45€ just to play the beta if I know it may never be finished. I'll see how it goes but I don't like it.

Looks Like Feral Interactive's Linux Ports Will See More AMD Love

Quoting: scaineCan't quite make out what the Sapphire GPU is at the back, but given that there's a 980 and 970 in there with the R9 390, I hope it's another AMD card. But "AMD CPUs" is good too. A decent mix.
Sapphire only do AMD GPU. With the image it can only be either R7 265, R9 270(X), R9 280(X) or R9 285.

Pump-Action Captain Is A Game To Avoid On Linux

If ponies like getting warnings like this, we can do them more often, as I personally feel it's important for ponies to know. I don't like to see ponies waste their bits.
No, It would give the wrong idea to people about games on Linux to give a special attention to crap. Maybe a full article reporting the good, the bad and the terrible ports to Linux over a period of a month or two.

There is a report button on the store page of every game, you can use it to report to Valve that a game is totally broken, I thing you should use it and report the discussions where the Dev react like they don't even care because if they are contacted by Valve to remove their game from the store (or even just remove the SteamOS logo) they will probably react fast. Also you can write a review before asking for a refund, I don't know for most people but I always read reviews before buying a game (even if cost only 1€).

Remember 'The Flock'? The Limited Lives For Everyone Game Will See A Delayed Linux Release
22 Aug 2015 at 12:01 am UTC

As expected the users review of this game are terrible with most player saying that the game is not fun at all. Even positive reviews report bugs and the feel of an unfinished game. Also the life count is as 215.358.979, so with one player dying every seconds that mean there is still 7 years before the game run out of lives and since the game is so popular (not really) they will probably shut down the servers before that. I don't want a Linux version of this.

Remember 'The Flock'? The Limited Lives For Everyone Game Will See A Delayed Linux Release

They want to release this game when the buzz is high, it doesn't matter if the game is not ready and if the Linux and MacOS version are not available yet. The buzz is probably the only thing they have to sell this game.
