Was about to buy the Steam Link from GAME, but they ran out of stock before I managed to make the payment after filling my address :( Looks like I'll have to wait for the Steam's own summer sale.

Edit: Or not. Tried again and it worked. :D

It's nice to see a free and open source game on Steam. Does anyone know if there are other free software games on Steam already?

Quoting: kevieI went for Tropico 5 [External Link] (half price).
Happy Steam sale shopping everyone :D

Good choice :) I have played Tropico 5 for 75 hours now. So far the game runs really good on GNU/Linux and it's really fun - definitely recommend it ^_^

I think I'll go with:

• Warlock 2: The Exiled [External Link]


• Deadfall Adventures [External Link]

Especially Deadfall Adventures looks like another AAA with good quality port for GNU/Linux. Not sure about the Warlock though, reviews don't seem to be so good.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI bet the loading screens take forever. You'll spend ages "Waiting for Godot".

Actually, when it comes to Free Software, I believe even Richard Stallman agrees that games (and their art, for instance) can't necessarily be Free Software. So you can be an FSF-level believer in freedom for software and still agree to an exception for games.

Well I agree with this, however one should make the distinction between the games and the tools used to create them. It's good to have free software libraries and game engines to create games, but it's better to consider finished games as media products such as music and movies rather than software.

There's discount on Humble Store [External Link], you can get the game for 26$. :D

I used to play this mod a lot in the past when we still had to dual boot in order to play games, I guess around 5 years ago.
Edit: And yes I noticed I haven't run Windows since one month and still played a lot of games :D

It's a very nice game, and I'm really glad to see it's finally coming to GNU/Linux. However I wanted to play it a couple of months ago and the number of the people playing it seemed to be too few... :/
