Wow, I had Escape Goat 2 in my Steam cart last night and fell asleep before I could checkout. I'm glad I did now!

This is usually not my thing. The game looks good though.

Square Enix doesn't have a lot of Linux support, they appear to have something to do with Wakfu, but are not listed on the Steam store page. I think Avalanche Studios has no Linux supported games yet. So I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yes but Mad max [External Link] which is officially confirmed for linux is also developed by Avalanche Studios, though the difference there is the publisher, so there is still a chance!

Is it officially confirmed?

On my wish list.

I just barely made it. I ordered October 16 and just got an estimated delivery date of November 10.

The quote above doesn't say anything about fixing the issues that made the game bad, only adding content as if they were pleased with the original game despite the criticism.

Quoting: Crazy PenguinI have asked several publishers/developers what is going on, but they have been surprised as I'm. At least the responded that they will continue to support Linux :)
Not to mention the confused Customers, we have several threads where people asking about the Linux support. If it is discontinued now. Some have flamed already against some developers for it. Well done, Valve! Well done!

Come on now. When has Valve ever done anything in a way that didn't confuse customers and developers? It's how they roll. Remember the whole "Witcher 3 Coming to SteamOS; oh oops, maybe not" fiasco? I'm convinced the whole company is run by 4 nerds in a basement, but somehow in the end, it all works out just fine. This issue probably will too.

I agree with a lot of the concerns about the future of Linux support on steam and also with the idea that SteamOS needs quality control. I think the one thing we need to keep in mind, however, is that the removal is probably temporary.

All those devs have to do is make sure their games are updated to meet Valve's new standards. I'm sure they've been notified. The devs that actually care about Linux and steamos sales will patch their games.

A developer: I took the liberty of replacing the Nvidia 660GTX in my Linux machine for our Radeon 270X and ran some tests.

Doesn't this statement, again, shows that many developers develop on Nvidia first, then try with an AMD card and are disappointed - or even blame AMD for bad performance?

I'm not a game developer here, so this is more of a question than a statement. But wouldn't coding for a particular card only be the case when you're adding functionality specific to that card (proprietary things like Nvidia's PhysX)? Other than that, shouldn't common OpenGL functions work the same on both cards? These are open standards that both drivers should meet...right?

I'm calling it now: Linux Game of the Year.

Quoting: Mountain ManI see you've realized that you can "like" your own comments. That's cute.

Since you apparently have nothing more to say, I'll assume you concede the point and will wish a good day.

That seems to be your speciality: assuming (that and making condescending remarks with no knowledge to back it up).

Regarding your "point", you've made none, so there's really nothing left to say. If you want to show me a Feral or Aspyr port that has performed equal to or better than the Windows version, then we can talk.
