So, as I feared in my article on the leak, it's game-specific optimizations they did for ONLY the previous games mentioned.

Leak: AMD's new driver will apparently offer much better performance on Linux

Quoting: Xpanderstill better than nothing, hopefully more games benefit than only those on the picture
I honestly think it's per-game optimizations, which makes me wonder why the heck they haven't focused on some of the new bigger releases, like Alien and Mordor?

GOL Asks: What have you been playing on Linux & SteamOS recently?

Quoting: TincheFinishing up Shadow of Mordor.
Bought Cryptark but my rig can't handle it. :(
Alien: Isolation but a little too scary for me.
Before that Pillars of Eternity, kinda taking a break from that.
Kingdom, a little.
Your PC can handle Mordor, but not Cryptark? Was that a weird joke? It's a simple 2D game.

Epistory - Typing Chronicles, an atmospheric action/adventure game now on Linux & big update

Quoting: ElectricPrismYeah it's annoying Valve doesn't have a "New Releases" list on my Platform - SteamOS/Linux.

I regularly surf through the New Releases Tab and the SteamOS tab and am like what is this?
Indeed, I look through my "queue" now and then, and I'm like "wait, when did this come to Linux?".

Thanks, updated the links. My GOG guy hasn't been emailing releases recently, my bad.

Quoting: SkullyWish it was on steam as early access or something. I have no interest in signing up with kickstarter. I guess I will have to wait.
Same here. I would like to see what it's all about, but not on Kickstarter.

StarDrive 2, the rather good 4x space strategy game is now on Unity 5

I do agree, MOO2 is still better, which is a shame.

@Stupendous Man it's something I've been working on removing, which I just did.

Quoting: JuliusOdd that it got all those negative reviews... at least the first hour game is great fun so far.
The reviews shown on the homepage don't do it justice, they are all old reviews and a lot has been added and fixed in patches over time. The developer is listening rather well it seems.
