The Humble Dystopian Bundle is out with some nice Linux games included

Quoting: GuestRain World... Another failed Kickstarter. It's because of projects like this I don't back games anymore.

For now, I've added it to our Crowdfunding list page as a Fail. I've also emailed the developer directly to see if we can find out why well over a year later + a Linux stretch goal it seems to still not be on Linux.

Quoting: liamdawethere's a few titles included that aren't on Linux. These are Tokyo 42, Distrust, Rain World and 60 Seconds!
But wait, I swear 60 Seconds! used to be on Linux...

Actually, you're right, it has an experimental beta going by this post [External Link]. Announcement was here [External Link], looks like it's still not been made officially released.

Feral Interactive are asking you to send the game port suggestions again

Quoting: GuestEvery time this gets asked, I always want Space Marine. But only if I can purchase it again; not expecting a freebie piece of work, I'll pay for a GNU/Linux port of a Windows-only game that I've bought long ago. Although I also suspect that if this was something Feral could port, they would have done so by now.

There's always the Feral store for those who really do want to support Feral buying an additional copy if they already owned a port. It's what I would do.

Quoting: cprnDoes any of the "NVIDIA slows down old cards" shenanigans concern Linux users / drivers?

No benchmarking has ever shown that to be true. There have been regressions, which get fixed when found. That is an old bit of FUD right there though.

Quoting: Kristian"There have been a number of nuisance bugs, but Oxymoron Games have been releasing patches constantly to fix issues that users discover so they're doing a good job of supporting it so far."

There are some not so good reviews on GOG, have those issues Bern fixed, if so did GOG get the patches?

Yes, GOG had the latest build.

Quoting: Brisse
Absolutely love seeing Windows, Mac and Linux displayed so clearly together in a trailer like that.
I always get a little triggered when game devs, publishers and games media use the term "PC" as if it was synonymous with Windows. If a game is Windows only, then it should say Windows, not PC, because the latter includes Windows, macOS, Linux and more.

Oh believe me, this is a daily conversation I get into with developers and publishers. Even some people who should really know better, end up sending me press releases that only say "PC" or simply "Steam".
