SuperTuxKart 0.8.2 Beta Released
17 Dec 2014 at 9:02 pm UTC Likes: 1

As I said on OMGUbuntu,

Can we get a Steam release? PPA & Tar.gz installations are so tiresome,

Plus SuperTux devs would get better ideas of Gamer Linux Metrics, Achievements, Locales, Free Steam Forums, Community Chat, Screenshots, and other elements that encourage Game Community Building.

No, Final Fantasy XIII-2 Probably Isn't Coming To Linux

Most people don't know that every FF game is a completely different story, world, characters, etc...

None of the FF games share anything in common except perhaps the battle systems and the menus are similar sometimes.

That Said, I think its realistic we'll see a lot of AAA titles maybe even perhaps FF15 on SteamOS once Valve lights their Cannon and blasts off the launchpad.

FF6, FF7 and FF8 are the best IMO. FF9 & FF10 were disappointments, FF12 was unplayable because the battle system changeover. Ever since Squaresoft merged with that Hentai company their games have gone to T & A land really fast (FF10+). FF11 and FF14 were online and wanted to be WoW so bad but failed horribly.

FF13 = Final Fantasy The Hallway as maps are highly linear and really boring. ZZZzzz

Will purchase any/all FF games if they do a native Linux release.

Interstellar Marines Update 16 “Assault On Starcrown Aerospace” Is Live

How do players like this game compared against CoD & Halo? I've been wanting a good PC FPS for a while but CS:S and CS:GO didn't have the Halo feel, the closest I found was Section 8: Prejudice but unfortunately its Windows only and the Devs abandoned it.

Hows Interstellar Marines?

Dota 2 is getting a custom map editor, I can't wait!

I'm also looking foreward to Golden Eye Source on Source SDK 2013 if any game devs wanna go robb their git repo & help out.

Really looking at this new Racing game called Distance that just launched early access, It's been so long without hope for a great Linux racer :( Could this be the one?

This looks like something Rich Evans from RedLetterMedia would review

Steam Hardware Survey For November 2014, A Growth Is A Growth.... Right?
5 Dec 2014 at 2:02 am UTC

100,000,000 Steam Users * 0.013 = 1,300,000 Users

Maximum Sales for a $9.99 Game x 1,300,000 = $12,987,000 if 100% of Linux users who login this month buy a game.

If only 1% of those Linux users buy the game the developer still makes (12987000×0.01) $129,870.00

I've been dying for a Linux Racer all year long, my point is whatever racer comes to Linux stands to make at least $130,000 to $1,000,000 just by being the first to penetrate the market.

Money talks, pass these statistics on to developers considering Linux.

(Games that appear first in a market in their genre also entrench the users in their franchise, so the opportunity for success and gennerating Google Page Rank from blog sites like GamingOnLinux is really effective at increasing sales and backlinks on the internet.)
