And thanks for including the android version in the humble buy!

Square Enix comes to SteamOS & Linux, Hitman GO: Definitive Edition released
24 Feb 2016 at 10:51 am UTC

Quoting: BeamboomOh man I'm torn on this one. On one side I really really want SE to notice us, but I really don't want to support phone game ports. They are just noise in my steam client as far as I'm concerned.
The upsides are that it's a no-bullshit port (no in-app purchases) and, at the moment, the price of the steam and android versions are almost the same.

Edit: the port is no-bullshit, the android version is.

Square Enix comes to SteamOS & Linux, Hitman GO: Definitive Edition released

Nice little puzzle-game so far.

It is a low-effort mobile port - but it seems to be a port of a solid mobile game. I suspect the reason the linux version got released is that someone noticed it how easy it was to do this with this specific unity game.

Looks to become the usual dlc mess modern gaming is rife with, meh

Shadowrun: Hong Kong gets free Extended Edition update

Actually, I find 'extended edition' quite descriptive: extra gaming content. The 'extended edition deluxe' had me scratching my head for a while.

Goat Simulator appears to be getting a new DLC, the trailer is good

That marketing looks to be shooting itself in the foot; I love supporting indie devs, provided they make stuff I like. Goatsim is not in that category, so the video looks just like some bullshitting, no different from aaa, to me.

Sunday Section: What Was Your Biggest Linux Gaming Letdown So Far This Year?

I've been so happy with Devolver digital's linux output and Jotun that I just can't remember the letdowns.

Also, avoiding aaa titles for the last ten years probably also helped ^_^

Magicka 2 Now In Beta For Linux

2 annoyances: the paradox account nagging and dlc ads in the start screen. Enough reasons for me to instant refund.

(got more games than time to finish them, so I have zero tolerance for BS)

Hacking Simulator Hacknet Released, Eventually Coming To Linux
14 Aug 2015 at 10:15 pm UTC

Quoting: MyeulCIt's now on my wishlist (well.. Sort of). The best (imo) hacking simulation I have tried to date is uplink. Any word on how this title cimpares against it? (besides the fact that it doesnt' seem gui-based :P )
Thanks for reminding me, still need to dig in the hollywood-style-hacking-sim of choice.
