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.

Back before Y2K I used to play a lot of "Wing Commander" games and I´ve really missed something like the "WC-series" or "WC: Privateer/Freelancer". If this is something similar then I´ll definitely give it a go.

The thing that makes me a little hesitant, is how this game has passed completely under my radar, usually you expect a game that´s good/promising to make waves and you expect yourself to pay enough attention to "catch the waves", if you catch the drift. ;-)

I´ll almost certainly get it as well. How quickly will depend on the price. I played the first "Homefront" game on windows and despite the negativity surrounding it, I still felt I got my moneys worth in FPS entertainment. Of course when I bought it, I believe it was priced at around 15 euro.

My main issue with that game was nothing more dramatic than that I wished it had been 20-25% longer for more prolonged gameplay. So unless this game is significantly worse, buying it is a no brainer.

Only played for a couple of hours so far and found it greatly enjoyable. In a way it feels like playing a retro, indie version of xcom, with the (simplified) turn-based combat, the base-building, advancing the skills of your troopers and so forth.

I will certainly play this title a lot more, but given the bugs you speak of I think I´ll switch back over to Master of Orion & Stellaris for a while.

Seems quite nice. Reminds me a bit of the old "Alien Breed" games only with more modern graphics. So this is probably a purchase!

EDIT: Oops, just saw that it´s turn-based, so no frantic shooting like "AB" I guess. Well, that´s actually even better in most cases, so it´s still good.

Weirdness galore! The first question that pops up in my mind is whether this support guy actually knows what he is talking about. It wouldn´t be the first time when different people from the same company gives out contradictory information because one person really knows the score while the other one just makes a "best guess" since he assumes that he knows all there is to know.

Unfortunatly, unless someone directly involved with the whole mess speaks up, we´ll just have to keep on guessing.
