In the steamdb, the Branch tools_experiment has the description "Secret Project ;)". That sounds like an Aspyr type comment if you ask me...

Steam's 2K 10th Anniversary Sale Has Linux Goodies Going Cheap

I would be interested in Beyond Earth for that price, but does anybody know if they included Steam Workshop support in the Linux version. Civ 5 never got it so far.

It looks like Linux gaming has reached an age of wonder. This is another great title to add to the list, and it fits nicely in the strategy game lineup.

Lots Of Big Games Confirmed For SteamOS, Torchlight II Now Out, Payday 2, Mordor And More Coming Too

Now we know that Feral are handling 4 games on that list, I think it's time for Aspyr to break their silence ;)
Maybe they have something to do with Payday 2 or Saints Row IV? Maybe even Evolve?

Quoting: FredOIs there a reason why Total War Attila is also listed under the SteamOS Sale list? :-)
Well, it's because it's planned for SteamOS. ;)

All the games in the sale are ones that are available or will be on Linux/SteamOS. Note that some of them are coming near the end of the year, so there's no need to rush to buy them.
There was only mention of Rome 2 so far, so I thought I better mention Attila. For me at least, this is the biggest news on the list.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Released On GOG & Steam, We Take A Look At The Linux Port

They just released a patch which adds a new option called Xinput for MS controllers. With an Xbox360 controller, all buttons are correctly mapped now except the Trigger buttons. Unfortunately the Chant is done by pressing both TL and TR, and this is not working for me.

I'm playing the game on a HD5770 which is below minimum requirements, but the core game is running fine on the auto-selected graphics settings, and 1080p. The only thing is that the movie clips are a bit choppy, which is strange. It's a really nice remake though, and a lot of fun.

I just bought it, played the first hour and I'm really enjoying it so far. A refreshing change for sure.

A Look At What Linux Games We Will See In 2015 And Beyond

That RPG list alone should keep me going for the rest of the year. I never thought I'd say it, but Linux is getting too many games to keep up with. What a nice sort of problem to have :)
