Steam is having a whopper of a sale right now

"Sunken", "Halfway", "Never Alone" and "Blues and Bullets" so far.

This would be a fairly great "linux-christmas" if only some titles among : "Stasis", "Darkest Dungeon", "Clandestine", "Rebel Galaxy", "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" or "Technobabylon" could have a "Surprise Linux Release"! ;)

Bought! Not quite sure about this one but I've had it on my wishlist for quite a long time so I guess I must have heard/read something good about it at some point.

Noire crime thriller Blues and Bullets released for Linux on Steam

Bought! This one I had missed completely even though it certainly looks like my kind of game. I went all in and got the whole season.

Edit: Btw. has anyone played through ep 1 & 2 of "The Detail", that title seems a little similar to this game and I'm thinking about buying it too.

Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition for Linux & SteamOS is being held up (updated)

Quoting: TheBossThis is taken from their Kickstarter for number 2:
Believe us, it's not that we're not interested in producing a version for Mac/Linux/Console, it's just that we want to get the gameplay and world fleshed out in all the detail that it needs first. Once we have the game fully worked out, we'll start looking at porting it to other platforms. That’s not something that’ll happen during the Kickstarter or indeed this year.

But - and it’s an important but - we do have most things in place to support several other platforms, since we are starting work from the Divinity: Original Sin- Enhanced Edition engine. We just don’t want to make any promises yet.
Thanks!

It does sound like Linux is a distinct possibility for the sequel maybe it's even likely...
Still, not sure if I'm willing to bet on "we'll start looking at porting it to other platforms", as a guarantee for a continuation of the series on linux, which means I'll most likely put this game on hold until something more substantial is said by Larian Studios.

Does anyone know what the "Linux status" is for the upcoming sequel to this game?

Because I can't see much reason to bother with this game, if the studio has removed Linux from their plans completely after this debacle. (I still bear an old and strong grudge against MS for releasing Halo 1&2 to windows but keeping Halo 3 an "xbox exclusive")

Street Fighter V confirmed to be coming for Linux & SteamOS

"I so hope this means that Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen has a proper chance of coming to Linux as well! Both are by Capcom after all."

+1 Fighting games aren't my thing but if it increases the chanses of "DD: DA" coming to linux, then I'd be willing to buy "SF V" simply to show my support.

F1 2015, another big game showing hints of coming to Linux & SteamOS

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionDo you mean racing games as in professional sport racing or all genres including kart racing games? I could totally understand not holding interest in pro racing as it parallels other sports genres ( I don't like sports games in general).
Pretty much all & every kind of racing game. I guess for me racing is something like a "side-dish", it goes great together with the many "main courses" of other game-genrés but by itself it always leaves me wanting to step out of the game-vehicle and pursue some other activity. ;)

Nice with another big title on the way.

Now, if only I enjoyed racing-games everything would be great. I suppose it might be a bit odd... I do enjoy driving cars in games and I do enjoy participating in car-races in games...but I still don't really care for racing games. :P

Nice recap of 2015.

The one title I miss from the list is "SOMA", not really an aaa-title but still produced by a medium-sized studio and quite successfull.
