This looks kickass, I saw the labs and the first thing I thought was Super Metroid :) Since then all Metroids have sucked

Unity3D isn't at the top of my list of favorite engines.

Their Linux user base isn't that big because Linux users are hardcore and don't want to play the mcdonalds of gaming at the top of their list.

I couldn't care less about them collecting impersonal metrics to understand their audience, its just not a very nice thing to do without a disclaimer or request for permission.

That's disappointing since I held this game in such high esteem when I saw the kickstarter in 2013.

I've been dying for something to play since I can't do Burnout Paradise on Linux, there's no good racers, and this seemed to have the glory of Crusin the World from N64.

Really bummed out, I hope they put it on the fast track, SteamOS + Linux is avalanching, I wouldn't be surprised if Windows became second place because of their DRM Binary Signatures.

The developer for Calibre 10 Racing was considering a Linux Kickstarter Port, I would love to see it.

This was a really good idea

I think the light colors are easy to read and uplifting, still another color to go along with the blue and white might help warm up the design a little, but then again the mascot and logo is a blue penguine so maybe a frozen look is appropriate, hard to say.

The new DOTA2 update kicks so much ass with the new trail on the Radiant Secret Shop. The stairs on the spawning fountain. The Double Spawning Runes, Bounty Rune Addition & Rosh pit moved. Along with the courier to transforming into your personal courier when you call it. Also, the particle effects & kill headlines have really made the game feel really "fun".

Sure I'll try Strife, I hope its not as dismally dark as HoN, HoN always had a creepy vibe in their character art, not something I would classify as "fun", "lighthearted" or even "a game for the whole family".

Here's my Survey
"Nvidia Customer & IT for 10+ years. Loved AMD 2000 - 2004.

Create a Linux Driver that is half open source and half proprietary,

The Linux Community ported the Unreal Engine in 1 day.

Steam Linux Gamers make up aprox 75,000 active users.

If you sold a new card to each of them at $150 you would make: $11,250,000

If you captured 25% of the market you would make $2,812,500.

Incase you don't realize, Linux Users are among the most devout, we are usually IT Administrators, we tell people what Mobos, CPUs and Graphics Cards to buy, I've personally built 10+ computers for friends & family in the last few years and they've all been Intel + NVidia.

Help me root for the underdog, give me a reason to make my brothers new graphics card on Linux a AMD for his gaming, give me a reason for our next builds to be AMD CPU, AMD Graphics & AMD Motherboard,

Give me a mostly open source Radeon Driver for Linux and I guarantee that the Network Effect (Wikipedia It) will ensue as Linux Users are even more PR devout & addicted to specific products than mac users.

I hope my next Build is AMD, please consider my feedback seriously."

I hope their surf maps have improved, if so I look foreward to CS:GO, 6 months ago CSS Surf & Maps were much more fun, lets see if that has changed.

We as humans sometimes hate change when a thing works perfectly well already.

I've been used to the Grey Steam layout for 3 years, I hope this change is worth the disturbance to the users.

I can't stand scrolling down forever but I guess that's in line with community hub and keeping you on their page & site.

A friend has commented that Steam now looks like Battle.net from the blue, I laughed.

On the other hand, the change will get them a lot of publicity and is in line with their new look & Steam Machines & probably works great in Big Picture Mode.

Awesome Demo, I would love more Skate & Snow games on Linux.

Being physically engaged is one of the only things that gives me the mental harmonious sync and clarity that I need when I program.

So by that notion, I would love sports games like Snow & Skate on my Linux box.
