The Spatials, Build & Manage A Space Station, Now In Beta For Linux

Quoting: Avehicle7887From my personal point of view: Theme Hospital in Space, at least the graphics resemble it and the gameplay looks fun.
Mmm, not quite. I do see what you mean a little, but with the away missions and RPG aspects it's rather different. The base building side however is a tiny bit like it.

Steam just released these games too, without a Linux version.

We Have More Discount Codes For The Excellent 'This War Of Mine'

This sadly wasn't handled very well their end.

From what I can gather they disabled all codes until their initial birthday sale ends due to traffic, not sure why traffic would make them disable codes, but that's what they're telling me. You are all free to use the codes once the current sale has ended.

Quoting: stabbyjonesThey also give you a free copy of olli olli if you pre purchase. (Which was enough to convince me.)
Unless you play to play it on another platform, you should never pre-order a Linux game when the Linux version doesn't exist yet.

Your sale will probably not be counted for Linux now.

I have emailed my contact again. You will 100% be able to use them when the initial sale is over, but you're supposed to be able to use them now with the sale, so hopefully they will sort this out.

If you can't wait, use that code posted in the comment above (it's a real code), and buying it from our link still helps us out.

If you can wait though, wait and use one of our much bigger codes in the article.

Quoting: coolboberThank You!

Error
Product on sale, discount code can't be used.

So We need to wait a little
That shouldn't be, probably an error due to all the traffic or a simple oversight, I've emailed them to make them aware of it.

Well you can all rest assured if/when it comes out, we will do our usual report on its performance.

Steam Officially Starts Allowing Paid Mods In The Workshop, People Are Upset
25 Apr 2015 at 3:13 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestI watched the TotalBiscuit video, and he raised a very good point in it about: what happens to mods outside of steam? If this situation makes it so that games can only be modded via Steam Workshop, that (in my view) is rather bad. I view reliance on Steamworks as being bad too, btw.
Too much under the Steam umbrella. Competition badly needed. Let's hope GOG Galaxy can provide it.
Let's just hope that GOG Galaxy doesn't delay the Linux client.
