Quoting: Kamilko47And what?
There will be on Steam? When?
That is up to the main publisher, so it could be tomorrow to never.

Earth 2140 Gold Edition RTS Game Linux Version Released
15 Mar 2014 at 1:23 pm UTC

Quoting: gbudnyI can't agree with this article that Earth 2140 Gold Edition is the old game because I didn't have a chance to played it on Linux. I remember that Runesoft ported Earth 2140 to Amiga OS and Mac OS X, but I think this first day when I can buy version for Linux.
I don't quite get what you're talking about.

The game IS old, as stated it the article it was originally released in 1997, new to Linux doesn't make it new.

Star Conflict Beautiful Space MMO Looks Like It May Come To Linux
14 Mar 2014 at 6:10 pm UTC

Quoting: jonprydeJust checked out StarConflict on steam via my Linux Mint desktop, and it actually is downloading from steam (linux version).

I'll report back if it actually launches and plays.. I like StarConflict.. it's a nice alternative to Freelancer from the early 2000's.
It won't launch, trust me. It's not released yet.

This War of Mine Survival Game Announced For Linux From 11bit Studios, Developers Of Anomaly
14 Mar 2014 at 2:34 pm UTC

Quoting: DrMcCoyOkay. :)

Would have been nice of them to mention the platforms everywhere, though.
I completely agree, some websites like 11bit just don't list them at all, it does get frustrating.

This War of Mine Survival Game Announced For Linux From 11bit Studios, Developers Of Anomaly
14 Mar 2014 at 2:27 pm UTC

Quoting: DrMcCoyMaybe I'm blind, but I didn't see any mentioning of Linux (or Mac OS X, or Windows, or any platform, really) anywhere. Not in the trailer video, not on their website, not in the forums, not in their Twitter feed. Where did you get that from?

Granted, 11bit Studios released multiplatform games in the past, but it wouldn't be the first time for a studio to suddenly stop doing that.
It was confirmed to me via email (PR email), so no external source.

Don't Starve Reign Of Giants DLC Finally Has A Trailer & Possible Release Today
12 Mar 2014 at 11:32 am UTC

Yeah, An online capable version of Don't Starve would be quite the money maker with persistent online worlds.

I seriously hope they are going to do one in future. If not, someone else is bound to use it as a basis for their own game.

Yeah it is a shame it doesn't have that, have they even hinted at a number 2?

CRYENGINE from Crytek Announces Official Linux Support Ahead Of GDC
11 Mar 2014 at 2:48 pm UTC

Quoting: Anonymousok, I'm not the brightest button, but does this mean any cry engine game can be ported over with little effort?
Well, not any game. It would need to be a game that was made with the ported versions so older games are unlikely.

I doubt many developers will "do a Valve" and port their really old games.

CRYENGINE from Crytek Announces Official Linux Support Ahead Of GDC
11 Mar 2014 at 1:47 pm UTC

Quoting: MadsThe Far Cry series hasn't used CRYENGINE since Crytek sold the franchise to Ubisoft. But Kingdom Come [External Link] is using CRYENGINE and Warhorse announced from the start of their Kickstarter that the game would be coming to Linux as well.
Hey, I did only say Far Cry... :P
