Quoting: Xpandergreat! was shit for windows also at least according to media around it

Feral can now concentrate to other projects :)
My thoughts exactly, Feral will live on and their name won't get tarnished by working on an already terrible game.

Mad Max looks like it really is coming to SteamOS & Linux after all, another massive game for us

Quoting: edoThat moderator said than it wasnt coming to linux and than he talked with a dev. Nevermind, what matter is than its on the way, or I hope so
That Moderator is a well known chode. There is a reddit page out there where a guy wrote a python script to go through all of the steam forums with his name and did a grep for Linux and found he was all over the place always saying "just use Windows" or "Why would you use Linux? Just get Windows" etc.

So him talking to a developer.. maybe. But I wouldn't believe anything from the guy after the multitude of forums where he does that. Seems anytime there is someone asking for a Linux version he shows up and says why waste the time.
Indeed, that moderator seems to moderate a few of WB published titles (so he's probably an employee). He's an obvious Microsoft fan and doesn't like Linux, I've come across him a few times across a few different titles, and he's always obnoxious. And in this case, he was clearly wrong since it looks like it's coming.

Anyway, less chat about a rogue moderator and more hype!

Earth 2160, the RTS game looks like it's getting a Linux version on Steam

Quoting: Crazy PenguinWell, we will see if it appears on Steam. It seems that Zuxxez Entertainment AG (former: TopWare Interactive AG) is insolvent and requested insolvency proceedings two days ago.

Search for "topware interactive" for details.
It's obviously not an issue if these updates on SteamDB are from today.

Quoting: STiATOh cool. Even if it's a supported wine-wrapped version it's nice.
Supported, counted as a Linux sale and another game on Linux, all things I like to see :).

I finally have a copy, so I will post thoughts in a few days once I've put time into it.

Co-hosts needed for the GOL podcast!

I think requiring a camera will put a certain amount of people off, so we probably should leave that out.

Having Cheese on board to help out (even if it's just at the start) would probably help things along a good bit.

Quoting: PozzuoliTechnically, KDE is the company (like Canonical), and the desktop environment is Plasma.

You could just change the entry to "KDE Plasma" to avoid confusing people.
I don't really get how people would be confused by that, but I've changed it anyway.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionOutside of the really bizzare stuff, there were some fairly common resolutions missing; 1600x900, and was 1366x768 on the options?
1366x768 is there, 1600x900 has been added for next month.

I went based on what Nvidia control panel lets me change mine to, so if it's not there it's not on my personal list, but I will of course keep adding to it.

Quoting: HamishDid not have my display resolution of 1400x1050, but I have only been using it since I got my new monitor a few weeks back, and I fully admit that it is kind of weird, so I really do not consider it too be much of an issue.
Added for next month.
