Rocket League for Linux & SteamOS getting close to a release window finally

"close to a release window" sounds like "in only a few months we can definitly tell that the game is coming within in the next 6 months".
Do not trust "windows", guys ... ;)

Actually it feels like a mixed bag. Dont get me wrong, I am all in for SteamOS and already build my own SteamMachine but I can understand the disappointment so far.
Yes, I can see the updates under the hood with engines, drivers and new API like Vulkan and I understand that SteamOS is a long term project. On the other hand I am disappointed with the pace of the overall progression. There are a number of games that are postponed way longer then expected. Kinda Feels like the hype about the SteamOS and SteamMachines is pretty much gone. And the often mentioned big amount of 2000 games doesn't mean so much for me when there is only a few AAA titles. Actually the only game I was interested in and bought this year so far was "Tomb Raider".
Besides some more games, what I am missing are some more end user features in SteamOS. In the current state it feels kinda boring from my point of view. Right now I use SteamOS only to start/play games and uploading some screenshots. What I am missing the most are some easy to use (with controller!) streaming apps for youtube, twitch, netflix and amazon prime to come closer to the desired living room experience.
Anyway, besides these points, I am still postive about the future of SteamOS and expect things to improve and get better as (valve) time goes by...

I started "Alien: Isolation" last night. I've never played a game with such awesome graphics before. I am playing it on the big screen (home cinema) and it's such a great experience. Now i am waiting eager for the dusk so its dark enough that I can continue playing...

Great news! Already played on PS3 and like it. I hope for more Tomb Raider games being ported, especially new one and TR Anniversary.

"Did you buy a Steam Machine?"
I missed the choice "build my own".

This is huge! I was already hoping so much for this since it was advertised in the launch of the Steam Machines. And now its real! So awesome!
Btw, coincidentally I watched the old "Street Fighter" (1994) movie yesterday. My superstitious mind tells me to watch "Tomb Raider" today so we got more good news tomorrow. ;)
