Torment: Tides of Numenera delayed until 2017, partnering with a publisher

If it is paradox it should be no problem getting this game on gog (just as with pillars), as the devs already promised a gog release.

The new Master of Orion is now on Linux

For about half the price you can also get star ruler 2 + the newly released expansion!
The new Master of Orion should have a Linux version with the next update

...don't buy it until the Linux version is out...
You may also want to hold off until after the game itself is released! Currently it is still in dev. (incomplete)
The Witness may one day see a Linux port, for fun or for ideological purposes

He may be one of the best game designers out there, but outside of this area I trust the validity of his statements somewhat less as those of the average gamer. That includes programming, business and software piracy.
Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear DLC released with day-1 Linux support

I would prefer the old-fashioned term expansion to describe this.

On a side note: naturally, you cannot use this expansion together with the conventional edition of BG, but at the moment you can get BG:EE cheaply at both steam and gog (the gog sale, which is the cheaper option in Europe, has 40 hours left).
ScummVM adds support for Myst in their daily builds

As a reminder:

The gog editions of both lure of the temptress and beneath a steel sky use scummvm and are free (as in beer).

More free stuff which uses scummvm at:

RollerCoaster Tycoon World now planning on Early Access, Linux is not day-1

Am I the only one thinking a non-release of RTworld for linux is probably a good thing for the average quality of linux games?

I am much more interested in the alternatives, such as Parkitect
Obsidian and Paradox team up for new RPG called Tyranny and it's coming to Linux

Quoting: rustybroomhandle... but I guess some people feel that that should have been part of the base game because reasons.
I will elaborate - I have a limited amount of time to play games (thanks to the amount of linux releases lately \(^-^)/ ), so I want a bullshit-free experience when doing so. It's not only the fact that Paradox shows so little pride by selling some small pieces of the game separately - it's also the amount of energy I have to waste to check whether it's 'fair dlc'. With skylines the base price was so low that it was okay for me (at that time), but it gave a bad taste to the game and I am no longer prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Looks interesting - problem is, I don't trust paradox and am no longer willing to spend the energy to check whether some dlc practice is acceptable to me (eg the riculous skylines eiffel tower et al dlc was only okay because of the base price of the game). So, if it has day-one dlc or is not available on gog I'll skip it.

The only reason I'm willing to consider a paradox game at this time is because it's an Obsidian one ^-^
