Sunday Section: What Was Your Biggest Linux Gaming Letdown So Far This Year?

There isn't any great one for me, but I would have to say collectively it is the promised linux ports that then are delayed, never mentioned again and forgotten. Some less prominent ones that I didn't see mentioned on this site - Pinball Arcade, Digital Leisure's laserdisk games (ie Dragon's Lair), Apogee Throwback Pack, among many others, had ports mentioned once or twice and then shelved.

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: scotsman9999Now they just need a way to delete games from your library, refund or no (many games I regret buying and would just like to expel from my library, no refund expected)
Right click, set category, click the hide tickbox.
I know, but I'd prefer it more permanent.

Just as I feared would happen eventually, on the sale page the icon for Linux is no longer Tux but the generic circled Steam logo. Does "Linux" still scare devs that Valve has to cover it up with 'SteamOS' now? I do worry that eventually this will turn into another Android situation where we don't get much of a benefit.

Surprised no one mentioned Hearts of Iron IV from Paradox. I believe it is supposed to come out in late summer.

WOW! I NEVER thought this game would get rereleased, let alone on linux! This was one of my most wanted older PC games, along with 'Outlaws' and 'Interstate 76'.

Now if only they'd rerelease Outlaws, I'd be in heaven.

I have this game on my want list, but I admit 15 bucks is steep considering what it is. If he had priced this more like 7.99 it would have felt like an easier purchase.

The Team Behind PlayOnLinux & PlayOnMac Reveals PortMyApps (UPDATED)

As flawed as the wrapper vs true port idea is, I have a feeling if the Steam Boxes prove to be successful, we will see alot of publishers rushing to get their games on Linux for SteamOS, and this may be the method of doing it.

I imagine some will be good and some very poor. Valve's goal should be able to make all of their games playable on SteamOS without having to use the streaming service (which doesn't work with some games).

All I can say is - anything that makes weaning me from Windows is a good thing.
