Natural Selection 2 FPS Has A Major Update, Fixes Major Linux Crash Bug
28 Dec 2014 at 10:54 am UTC

Will give it a second chance. The long loading time and the shotgun bug made the game pretty unplayable on linux. Good job.

Edit: I'm a big fan of NS1 and got it working on linux. I used the ns1 source on github and ported it to linux. It's not really playable at the moment, but someone might be interested to fix it because I just don't have the time for it.

My hope is that the VP guys doing the port without eon. I guess they they can do a native port.

Rich Geldreich On The State Of Linux Gaming, And It's Not Good
11 Nov 2014 at 9:32 am UTC

Rich Geldreich:"FWIW - while at Valve I seriously supported open source Linux GL drivers and I got seriously burned by doing so. There are some powerful concerns out there that are not yet on board with the idea of open source GPU drivers. It cost us quite some time."
He isn't on the dark side.

In my opinion Microsoft's "deal" with Alienware was just a demonstration of their power. As soon as the Steamboxes are becoming a real thread, Microsoft will try to knock them out. As many said the keyword for the Steambox to succeed is market share. With more users its more likely that AAA titles are ported to SteamOS/Linux. In general the whole situation will improve. We can sit in front of our computers, cross fingers and wait until the year of the Linux desktop comes or we can actually do something about it.

People here at gamingonlinux.com are already convinced that Linux is the better platform. I was asking myself why somebody would switch from Windows to Linux. My idea is to have a small competition every month. Former Windows users have to write a story why they switched to Linux. The GOL community will decide which is the best and the writer will be rewarded with a Linux game. Of course this idea can be slightly tweaked a bit.

Even though our community is small, GOL showed me that there a people like me, people enjoying games on Linux. For some time now I'm reading the articles frequently. In some cases I would like to have more details, others are quite well investigated including detailed statements by the game developers.

Every game that is ported to Linux is a huge gain for the platform. Thank you aspyr, thank you valve, thank you feral and all the other companies which are interested bringing games to Linux.
