You keep confusing me.

PAYDAY 2 looks like it's getting closer to a SteamOS & Linux version
21 Mar 2016 at 9:57 am UTC

Quoting: PicoboomI'll not refuse to play a game simply because the developer or publisher "lied," changed their mind, or were simply the victims of capitalist Cerberus of time, resources, and a capricious marketplace. If I did, I wouldn't own Divinity: Original Sin, or Stanley Paradox, or so many other solid quality titles.

Having played Payday 2 since before any DLC, after 1,200+ hours I've seen and played it all. I boycotted the game briefly when the micro-transactions were first introduced and began playing again when the skin/mods were made available in-game, without purchase. The little bonuses the mods add are negligible and unnoticeable in general play, really.

Payday 2 is an action-soaked, wildly-replayable co-op shooter par excellence. It's often on sale for a very modest sum, and a real boon to the Linux community's game Library.
An excellent post that sums up my thoughts exactly.

GOL SteamOS & Linux Survey results for February

Quoting: nullzeroOpen data request:

Hey, are there any chances to open up the data, at least last year's one for 3rd parties to do some data analysis?

Just read steamboiler's "Three kinds of linux gamer" post where their linux gamer's survey data was used to build clusters of similiar linux gaming patterns.

Cheers!
I can look up posting a link to the survey data, since we don't take any personal indentifiers what so ever I have no problem with it.

Looks like the F1 2015 Linux private beta was left open for the free weekend

Will you be picking up a copy when it actually releases? I will livestream it at release, and we will likely run a tournament for it like we did with GRID Autosport.
I am? ehr I mean we ARE?
We will ;)

Sounds, good. If it's not too expensive, I'm in. I had a lot of fun during that tournament, so I'm willing to participate in another one.

And about the game. I like F1, so I hope the game is good enough. BTW, how is porting the game? Native or is another VP port? Don't care too much if it's native or not, just curious.
I mentioned that directly in the article, seems it's a Feral title.

GOL SteamOS & Linux Survey results for February

Quoting: GuestI never knew we got around ~1500 survey responses per month. I didn't think GoL was that popular, but that's great!
GOL is probably more popular than most people realise, and the people who do this survey are a tiny fraction of our overall visitor count.

Quoting: amonobeaxWhich game are in the horizon in terms of Vulkan? Dota 2 what else? Ashes of Singularity probably?

ll and all, it's so exciting to be a linux gamer right now!
The Talos Principle of course will have Vulkan support.

Banished is supposedly releasing on Linux with Vulkan support:

Did you read your own link properly? Banished is not doing Vulkan, it was a troll. Shining Rock is one guy, and his name isn't Jeff.
