Voting is now open for our Linux GOTY Awards

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: BeamboomI'm sorry I haven't participated in the nomination process, but nobody nominated We Happy Few in the anticipated category??

Other than that, I really think that category is a sad sight, it demonstrates a glaring lack of major releases to Linux. There's pretty much just indie titles again, with an exception for a rather old title, Tomb Raider.
Compare the overall best title selection for 2015 to the one for 2016. IMHO, it has already happened.
1) You're mixing up the years. The previous one was for 2016, this is for 2017.
2) From the most anticipated 2017 releases, 4/10 released with another one confirmed this year. One of those was never going to release last year let's be honest (Star Citizen). Street Fighter V is still coming according to a recent BoilingSteam interview with TTimo.
3) This is all based on releases people actually know/really think will come. Many more games actually arrive than people expect.

I get it, we don't get a lot of AAA titles, but what's with all the negativity from people lately? Unless you had crazy wild expectations - we all knew this would take a long time to build up.

Quoting: GuestStill find the "games that work great on both nvidia and amd cards" category strange, as most people only have one card and thus don’t know how well it runs on the other brand.
That's just to be clear for the nomination part.

Not much I can do now voting is open. The time for such feedback was before and people had since the 3rd of January for feedback.

We will see about different categories next time.

Quoting: KelsShould Hellpoint be on the "most anticipated for 2018" list when the release date is early 2019?
You're right, not sure how that one slipped by. It has been removed, it only had one vote so whoever that was can vote again.

Quoting: KelsDoes "Best Audio" mean "Best Soundtrack" or "Best Sound Engineering". Those are sort of apples and oranges in their way.
Best overall audio, taking all into account.

Feral has patched Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III for Linux to fix Vulkan on NVIDIA 384
12 Jan 2018 at 10:28 am UTC

It's not a bug, that's exactly how it is, as I said. A missing feature is not a bug.

Feral have stated before their reasons. I agree it's not great, but I would still rather have it with limited multiplayer than not have it at all.

Where The Water Tastes Like Wine has a new trailer, musician Sting to star in it

Quoting: OLucasZanella
The Steam store page lists SteamOS + Linux system requirements, but their presskit does not mention Linux. I've reached out to the developer to see if we can make it clear.
Shouldn't we wait and see what they respond first?
Having system requirements filled out, does usually mean it's coming. No reason to think it isn't.

Spaceship building and combat game 'BossConstructor' now offers more customisation
10 Jan 2018 at 9:23 pm UTC

Quoting: yellownotepadThis any good? Looks interesting, a bit like Captain Forever maybe?
A little I suppose yes, a different beast overall, but a similar basic experience behind it. Shoot spaceships, unlock new blocks etc.

Killing Floor 2 for Linux is 'indefinitely on hold' as they can't find a developer

Quoting: dubigrasuI guess that after the Steam Machines and SteamOS hype got nowhere, they got cold feet.
This in relation with how excited they were initially:

And their tweet to us about doing the work themselves don't forget: https://twitter.com/TripwireInt/statuses/464404711278669825 [External Link] i still remember them not wanting to discuss it with me at the time...

Edit: Spelling.
