Project Cars 2 now has a trailer, with no mention of their promised Linux/SteamOS support

Quoting: elbuglioneI don't understand why continuous mention of this game on Gameonlinux
We cover everything possible that claims it will support Linux.

In this case it's also very important to highlight developers who claim they will support Linux and do not deliver on that. Otherwise, it's letting them get away with it.

Edit: And I'm not sure what you mean by "continuous", this is only the second time anyone here has covered PC2.

Stone Story looks like a very clever ASCII-styled RPG that will have Linux support

Quoting: eloLiam, seems like you messed up the link - it's pointing to "https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/StoneStoryRPG.com"

This does look like an interesting game though! Will definitely keep this one in mind
Thanks, fixed.

Feral Interactive will livestream HITMAN for Linux on Wednesday the day before release

The online requirement is likely part of the game itself, not a Denuvo-thing. Since some of it syncs with their servers for the latest targets, that's likely part of the reason. Still, even so, it shouldn't need to be online all the time, nor fail anything if it cannot sync. Hopefully it won't affect people too much.

Quoting: liamdaweOut of the 800 Linux-supported games I own on Steam, there really aren't that many terrible ones. I just don't make a habit of buying or testing things that have telltale signs of probably being bad.
But you're given keys too, by random indie devs on a regular basis? That would be a catastrophy to the greatness ratio on my account. :)
I don't cover everything I'm sent, some honestly go right in the "sin bin" for showing all the signs of being completely pants.

I also refund some that end up crap that I buy myself, so that removes some from my library :)

Quoting: Purple Library Guy
Quoting: BeamboomYou got SEVERAL hundred games for Linux on your account, and 99% of them are what you would describe as GREAT? OK sounds like you're easily pleased then, I must say.

I got around 200 games now I guess (don't remember exactly), and I can easily say 10% are a pure waste of time, 40% mediocre, the rest being what I'd describe as "quite good" or higher. The ones I'd say are "great" would be maybe 15-20%. And that's after I've done a decision on what to purchase.

I mean, let's be honest about the quality ratio here.
Well, yeah, but he's a pro--games is what he does, he talks to game people (both developers and critics) constantly and so on. Probably it's partly that he gets better information before he buys and so only ends up with games that are genuinely to his taste.

Anyway, 3000, woot! and stuff. It does seem like just a couple of months since 2000, this is getting ridiculous.

Quoting: wojtek88Unfortunately I'm almost never able to join the livestream for various reasons and won't be able to join this time as well. But I'm interested in you opinion Liam regarding Half-Life 2 and also your history with Half-Life franchise. Did you play first one through? If so - when did you do it? Why haven't you finish Half-Life 2 before? What do you think about Half-Life one? What do you think about Half Life 2?
I look forward for the answers and whish you great livestream!
I had never finished even the first Half-Life until it came to Linux!

Fun fact: When I was a Windows gamer the majority of it was Call of Duty with 2 or 3 others, Linux gaming change me, it opened my eyes to a world of different genres!

Half-Life 2 so far seems better in every way to Half-Life, even better with this free graphical update standalone mod of it! :)

A look at Tinertia, a twin-stick rocket-jumping shooter for Linux

Quoting: N30NRegarding Tinertia, the gameplay in the trailer makes it look more appealing than Liam's attempt. :)
Videos of my failure are meant to be a bit of fun, of course professional trailers will be different.
