Interview with Aspyr Media about porting Civilization VI to Linux and other interesting questions
11 Feb 2017 at 9:56 pm UTC

I would have asked how they view the poor performance issues on GNU/Linux compared to Windows... It's still something that makes me dual boot just to play with reasonable frame rate and no hitching. Linux is still terrible in regards to real time performance and it drives me nuts... How do these devs deal with it and do they have an explanation as to why Microsoft's OS is so much faster? :/

The result is the same, Linux is still the second class citizen, the big fluffy cushion down the cliff existing just in case Microsoft goes overboard.

It's really saddening.

Topware! The german scumbags who stole money from the honest Transcripted devs!

Do NOT buy anything from them! They are rascals! They were supposed to be bankrupted by now, but somehow they still exist!

Boycott Topware! Do NOT feed the german mafia!

Ah, it's the upcoming Transhuman Design [External Link] game.

The developer is Michal Marcinkowski, who made the brilliant games Soldat [External Link] and King Arthur's Gold "KAG" [External Link].

Dota 2 to add two more heroes, one of which is not from the original DotA

Over 3000 hours. Best game ever created. It's a mix of nearly 20 genres of games into 1.
No wonder it's the top played game on Steam all the time. :)

Nightdive Studios aren't sure when the Linux version of the System Shock remake will be available

Not supporting this. Having Linux support as a stretchgoal on a crowfunding site is the lowest you can get.

Especially when they refer to Windows as "PC". These guys are awful. Not worth trusting at all.

A developer from Dontnod Entertainment has created a UE4 hack to compile HLSL shaders on Linux
14 Jun 2016 at 6:12 pm UTC

Wow this is huge!
Would this ease up the port of Life is Strange and their other games though?
That'd be awesome! Every developer out there should know about this project!

P·O·L·L·E·N, an incredible looking interactive first person sci-fi exploration game could come to Linux

And it's nice to see someone from the development team actually communicating with their consumer base. :)

It sure would be nice to see a Linux port of the game. I really, REALLY loved SOMA and Alien:Isolation on Linux, and P.O.L.L.E.N seems to be of the same genre. I would buy in heartbeat.
