Wow! That was sooner than I had expected, thankfully I finished PoE's "White March" expansion just last month so I'm raring to go for more Obsidian crpg-ing. Now, basically everything that remains of the gaming year 2016 is saved for me. :D :D :D :D :D

Truly shameful behaviour...in fact it´s so shameful that it really puts everything they say in doubt. Their actual reasons for scrapping mac/linux, whether they planned it before or after they picked middleware etc. etc.

The amount of broken promises in the game development community, really paints a bleak picture of how lacking in integrity people are these days. The standard defenses: "factors beyond their control" or "ignorance when choosing middleware" are starting to sound very false.

I simply can not believe that you go looking for middleware, you investigate exactly what it can and can´t accomplish and you simply *fail* to notice the "For Windows Only" message that has to be glaringly obvious.

In space, everyone can hear a cute little roar.

It will be good to revisit Stellaris after my time with Master of Orion, so far (6 hrs played) that game has failed to entertain me in any way whatsoever.

Yet another linux-version mystery. There seems to be an ongoing problem with identifying the proverbial "the buck stops here", when it comes to the be or not to be, of linux ports.

Very frustrating from a gamers perspective, it would be better if everyone involved would just utterly deny any plans of a linux version, as long as they weren´t 90% certain one would be made.

Weeell, to be brutaly honest, this was not one of my most wanted titles. Together with "Homefront: The Revolution", these two titles held the dubious distinction of being my two *least* desired aaa-titles, out of all the current aaa titles that I still technicaly did desire to buy on linux.

So, right now I´m feeling a really weird mixture of happiness and dissapointment. Still, it´s pretty much a 75/25 mixture in favor of happiness, meaning that I´ll make this another "Day1 Purchase". ;-)

A must buy for certain. This is my favorite type of game, although I would have prefered news about "Pillars of Eternity II", since I´m currently playing through the second expansion and have spent over 180 hours with the game.

Oh well, while I enjoyed "PoE" more than "W2", I do prefer post-apocalyptic over high fantasy, so I´m really looking forward to this.

One...freaking...day!! Amazing, if only all linux ports of similar non-aaa titles could go as smoothly. I´m still waiting for the ports of: "Stasis", "The Age of Decadence", "Kathy Rain" and "Technobabylon", just to name a few titles that sounded like they should have been ready for linux months ago.

Not to mention a whole bunch of "we´ll maybe/most likely do a linux port after windows" titles: "Grim Dawn", "Clandestine", "Rebel Galaxy", "Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms", too name another few.

This title looks reasonably interesing, I´ll read a bit more and then maybe give it a shot.

Great news! UI-scaling is something I miss in far to many game-titles and they *finaly* added the steamOS icon to the store page as well. Now the only question is wether to buy immediatly, or to wait for the "Zubmariner" update/expansion that comes out in 17 days

High up on my wishlist. This is looking really good, a bit like "Mark of the Ninja" only in a 3D environment and just...way more "cool" in apperance.

Fantastic! For the first time in very long, the game title that is at the very top of my steam-wishlist is really coming to tux. The only thing that could trump this, would be an announcement that Bethesda plans to support Linux in all their current & future titles.
