Quoting: sevenit has a steam OS icon in the steamstore...
I have pointed this out to them, as it's a little confusing.

An interview with The Final Station developers

Quoting: SamsaiI also didn't like that identity politics question because in my opinion it sort of drove the developer into a corner. Seriously, how do you answer that question honestly without causing at least a small PR disaster? If you say you don't have plans then some people will spin a racism story because your game isn't diverse enough. I only see one way to answer the question and that is to say "yes" which in my eyes makes you obliged to then increase the diversity even if it's not part of your original vision. And if a question can only be answered in a certain way, what's the point of asking?
I agree, and as a rule going forward any interviews will steer away from such questions. I didn't personally have the time to double check Sobkas article properly before it went live.

We don't want to back developers into a corner over issues like this. Especially in some 2D pixelated indie game.

Apologies if anyone has been annoyed by this. Apologies to the developer too.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance doesn't look like it will come to Linux any time soon

To quote their own comment [External Link]:
Refund is always possible. If you give us more time, please, we will release more Linux specific info. Thank you!
They keep saying they will release info, or they can't do it yet, or they would like to do it, or they don't have a Linux version. It's a different story every time they post in different places.

All trust I had in them is gone.

Life Is Strange looks like it's being ported to Linux by Feral Interactive

Quoting: ChloeWolfieGirlIt looks like you should be able to install the linux and mac versions as the Deports aren't encrypted..
No, looks like the app itself is actually only linked to developer keys right now.

Quoting: soulsourceWait, weren't the Obsidian developers cautious about any new Linux releases? I remember something about it not being worthwhile [External Link] and such....

Anyhow, if that game really gets released for Linux, I'll definitely buy it.
We covered that, but they also gave an update:

Quoting: neowiz73missed it, was going to cheer ya on. who won?
Matt won once, and only because I chose a new side that I didn't even know how to play. Other games I destroyed him as usual ;)

So excited, exactly the type of game I will be able to sink many hours into.

I look forward to ruling the galaxy.

Quoting: ElectricPrismAnnouncer sounds too serious, instant turn off. Interested nonetheless looks like the story may be good?
Thought the speaker matched the tone of the video perfectly :)

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyNice. Here's hoping they go for turn based combat this time.
Yeah, I really hope for this too!

CryEngine V released, Crytek now offer CryEngine as "pay what you want", source code access too

Quoting: SslaxxThis could very well be too little, too late. Especially with its own fork to compete against.
Yeah, there is Lumberyard built from CryEngine with Amazon, but who trusts Amazon like that really? I mean, I've heard horror stories about how they treated game developers on Amazon. Not to mention you mostly need to use Amazon cloud stuff with it. CryEngine sounds like it gives more you options + from a proven game engine developer directly.
