Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham City
I remember Michael Larabel leaking some
Batman Linux port images about 2 years ago...

Wait, here it is:

I wouldn't trust anything Larabel says that is gaming related with a penny. That was over two years ago.

Species: Aptenodytes forsteri
If you Google "Aptenodytes forsteri Steam", the second hit is this Steam profile [External Link]. That player only has one game in their account, 7 Days to Die [External Link]. Feral is porting 7 Days to Die to Linux, confirmed. ;)
Interesting theory, but we should consider more seriously the clue : on the picture I don't think it's an emperor penguin but a king penguin or Aptenodytes patagonicus.
Note his wink at the end, he was "pulling your leg".

Monkey Island Creator Ron Gilbert Is Making A New Point-And-Click Adventure Game

Well, game development is risky business, and Kickstarter is a risky business model for both the creators and supporters.

Reading up on Ron, I can't see him having lots of money to burn considering he hasn't really been involved in many games recently. He was involved in ~2 games for the entire of 2013 I think. So, fair enough he's gone to Kickstarter.

People know my views on Kickstarter by now, I simply don't fund a thing, as other developers destroyed my trust in it.

I am, however, grateful to people who do risk it for me, and if their risk pays off for me in the form of me getting a new Linux game to buy in future, then great.

I am also very sceptical like Segata, taking taxes into account that would still leave ~$315K assuming they only hit the initial goal. Split that by the amount of people working on it, and then that's more than a tidy sum to pay all of them.

Edit > Maybe all these thoughts by Cheese & Segata could be written down into two opposing editorials, would both make a mighty fun read.

This War Of Mine Is Bleak, Interesting & Difficult, Our Thoughts

Yeah it seems Linux doesn't get the texts background, which is a bit annoying, and the reason I stated it's not perfect. It doesn't ruin the game though, just a minor annoyance that doesn't happen often.

A real shame, but the first one probably only came over thanks to Humble Bundle, so it may get ported for a future bundle.

I sure hope they port, as the saying goes "no tux, no bux". I'm okay with that saying.

Kyle Pittman From Minor Key Games Talks About Low Linux Sales, And More

Quoting: SkiskiIf they had only sold 2 copies, 1 on windows and 1 on linux, that would be 50% for linux, which is huge, but only 1 sale is just horrible. Percentage only matters if the sampling is big enough. 900 sales are not really representative compared to the millions of steam users.
Glad someone else sees it from my point of view.
