My EnhancedSteam puts a banner on the game's page saying;
"Warning: This title uses 3rd party DRM"

Can anyone give some more detail about this?

Half-Life 2: Update, A Community Made Graphical Revamp Released For Linux
22 Apr 2015 at 8:40 pm UTC

Can anyone tell me how this compares to FakeFactory's Cinematic Mod? I got rid of Wine completely about 18 months ago and CM for HL2 is the only thing I miss...

CaesarIA Now On Steam, A Re-make Of Caesar III, But It Might Not Be Legal

Quoting: SXXThis project does have own assets and there is only few files from original game packed as far as I understand: some maps and one music track
As far as I can tell, the maps are currently in the process of being remade, an addition to the source today allows for new map files to be used. This just leaves the music...

Editorial: Skullgirls On Linux Finally Shows Some Progress
6 Jan 2015 at 8:14 pm UTC

I almost bought this when it first came out, on their promise alone. Fortunately, I've been holding off until an actual Linux version exists.

These kinds of things do make me wonder how many of these 'statistics' quoting low Linux use are counting Linux users who've bought before the Linux version came out (on the promise that it will be forthcoming) as confirmed Windows users.

GOL Survey Results: December

I use a Saitek P2600 which, so far, has worked out of the box for everything. The only hiccup was with Shank, but this seems to have been the same for almost everyone.

This said, I do mainly use the keyboard and mouse out of comfort. I've only ever had two consoles over the past 30 years and started gaming on a ZX Spectrum, so kb+mouse is what I know best.

SuperTuxKart 0.8.2 Beta Released

I'd be happy for a ppa... it looks like the STK-team ppa hasn't been updated in quite a while. Is this actually an 'official' ppa, or someone claiming to be the STK team?

Grim Fandango Release Date And Day Of The Tentacle Special Edition

I'd pay Real Money for an HD (video/audio) remake of Full Throttle.
Both of these will be insta-buy as well.

Feral's Game Port Radar Updated For Linux
5 Dec 2014 at 8:27 pm UTC

Quoting: dtandersonI think it is Black and White 2, it was just released for Mac. It is a battle of Gods type game....
That would be incredible!! I bought that game when it came out, but the wife muscled in and by the time she'd completed it, I had not time to play...

Aspyr Media Have A New Blog Post On Porting Civilization: Beyond Earth To Linux
20 Nov 2014 at 8:23 pm UTC

Quoting: MohandevirWow!

Just took a look at the full games' list published for MAC by Aspyr... If they could port all these games on Linux it would be awesome!
Yes this.

My wife would go potty for RCT and I have some of the others in my Steam Library already, but not Linux port yet (Duke Nukem Forever would be nice!)

Frozenbyte's Platformer Splot May Not Come To Linux It Seems
12 Nov 2014 at 10:12 pm UTC

Btw thanks to the one who put Splot in there, perfectly formatted.
Oops, sorry... I obviously wasn't checking my formatting as well as I should have been... I went on a bit of a rampage and added similar sections to a few pages where Linux support was promised for Marmalade games and maybe I was a little cavalier with the proof-reading.
