New Steam Client Beta adds fixes for 'upcoming' Vulkan games

Even if these games don't come to Linux, it should still be seen as a win if more people are adopting Vulkan over DX12, then it will mean Linux ports will be more likely in the future.

System Shock remake heads to Kickstarter, Linux is the first stretch-goal

More than it being a stretch goal (which it will reach for sure), it's more Linux being considered a second-class citizen by some developers and people who pledge end up getting it months and months after other platforms.

I will learning the art of modern warfare in the Finnish army
I've heard some funny/interesting stories about military service in Finland.

Good luck learning to defend the border from the Russians :P

No daily deals again :(

EDIT: and all of the games on my wishlist either have rubbish deals or aren't out on Linux... That sucks.

This looks great! I had a surprisingly great time with Windward and put a lot of hours into it, but it just grew stale. This seems like it has a lot more going for it, at least graphically.

Quoting: InspectorGidgetI know we're all really upset with Deep Silver right now... but!

I don't think it's good for Linux gaming for someone to commit to never buying another product from them again. I'm not saying I won't consider the fact that this crap went on when purchasing one of their games, because I definitely will. I love Linux more than I dislike the publisher, so I'll continue to at least give them consideration in the future.
Indeed, this should apply to all developers. If they do release a game they support well, why not buy it.
It's a shame when a publisher isn't doing their job and it tarnishes the name of the developer, which is what may or may not have happened here. We don't really know what goes on behind closed doors, but Deep Silver and Techland do have a bit of a turbulent history.

I like to follow a "give the benefit of the doubt" policy with companies who support Linux. I can only think of one or two developers who I find their actions to be scummy enough to not buy from them, though still open to them redeeming themselves.

Quoting: mr-eggYea it amazes me that nobody tests stuff. This is the state of crappy reviews on Linux it's why im starting my own site :D
You would need a lot of time and a lot of hardware for it to be anywhere near as good as GOL. Just contribute here.
