How about cross-platform multiplayer? Has anyone tried it? There is no indication of cross-platform multiplayer in the store page.

Quoting: badberThere was supposed to be a recovered version of the Dreamcast source for SS2. Was it a fake?
Yeah, that is what I wonder.

Quoting: pbWouldn't it be the first native game released by Night Dive? I thought they only sell dosbox/wine/scummvm wrapped oldies.
Not really. They published The Original Strife: Veteran Edition as a native source port which rocks!

Sounds like Evolve. I cannot see its connection with my childhood's beloved MDK.

Buying Linux Games From Cheap Bundle Websites & Stores, Some Important Information
13 Oct 2015 at 11:35 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: pbWhen buying games ported by Aspyr or Feral outside steam, all you have to check is the publisher. Since these companies act as the publishers of their respective ports, and at the same time the games are 'steamplay', they simply sell their keys to game stores all around and it's not rare to see "aspyr sale" or "feral sale" at a given store, where they get their share regardless of the platform (yes, even if a windows user buys the game). Examples of stores where you can buy aspyr-published games are macgamestore.com or nuuvem.com, as well as smaller stores in many countries - they will probably not count explicitly as Linux sales, but the money will go to the porter, that is for sure.

Both Aspyr and Feral have their stores respectively. The best way to support them is to purchase their GNU/Linux ports from those stores.

Valve Is Trolling Us With A New Half-Life 3 Leak

Quoting: TeodosioThey have invested millions in Steam OS, plus a big part of their reputation. If they want to be sure that it is a success they have to provide a big exclusive.
Besides, as long as windows is around we are going to have problems.
That is most likely out of question. Otherwise Gabe Newell would contradict with himself.

"You won’t see an exclusive killer app for SteamOS from us. We’re not going to be doing that kind of thing."

Postal 1 Updated With Twin Stick Gamepad Controls, Possible Source Code Release & Sale
6 Oct 2015 at 9:30 am UTC

A year ago, I played it on my GNU/Linux laptop with keyboard and mouse for couple hours. Controls were wonky; I could not stand more than 3 levels. Source code release is so kind regardless.

Unfortunately, the game was not sold well, therefor the dev criticized the current form of the industry. Here is the comment of TotalBiscuit regarding the issue. The game looks nice.
