Hopefully it will have a better performance than the original Magicka.

Pre-orders for Cities: Skylines Stand At Nearly 2% For Linux Gamers
26 Feb 2015 at 11:26 am UTC

Quoting: FergleFergleson
While I don't personally pre-order anything due to the constant issues we Linux gamers have with ports suddenly vanishing
I think this is a real issue. We (as a community) have been hit too many times and now there are active, vocal "do not preorder" groups out there. Preordering is starting to be treated like a serious breach of best-practices for a linux gamer, which is unfortunate.
I did NOT preorder under Windows and I will not under Linux. I simply refuse to buy the cat in a sack. No matter how much anyone tries to convince me.

And if there are too many bonuses involved in pre-ordering I'll skip the game completely. Easy as that.

Gaming is a hobby, nothing more.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Released On GOG & Steam, We Take A Look At The Linux Port

Thanks for the articles and comments. I'll wait then. I mean, I have an (now slightly outdated) Radeon HD 6950 and will wait for the new AMDs to make my decision on which one to buy. So if the framerate is fine only "most of the time" with a current graphicscard I'll simply wait.

I'm wondering if Source 2, which has already been softlaunched, will be shown off at GDC and maybe with glNext?! :)

XCOM: Enemy Unknown, With The Enemy Within Expansion Reviewed On Linux

For me one of the best games ever. I bought it 3/4 year ago in a sale, and paid full price for the addon to show my support, because this game just hit me so damn hard.

I love it and it's one of the reasons I completely dumped my Windows.

Feral Interactive Looking To Hire Linux Developers

I'd not consider myself a game-developer and my C/C++ skills are mediocre, not what I would consider strong, but it's great that they hire new help! :)

Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues, First Impressions On Linux

The shop on their site is what is hindering me from buying the game. I mean, there is just too much which seems to go in the direction "pay to win" or rather "pay to have fun".
