Classic free and open source platformer 'SuperTux' has a new alpha release out
22 Nov 2018 at 11:06 am UTC

Quoting: MayeulCRunning it on the raspberry pi would be really fitting. It's nice to see it is still being cared for! Although I didn't know it was still in alpha after all this time. This is really release-quality software, as far as I am concerned.
What are you talking about? SuperTux 0.5.1 was the latest stable release, released back in 2016. So it's not "alpha after all this time". This new alpha version 0.6.0 was only released 6 days ago.

Robocraft to do away with loot boxes, in favour of a tech tree
3 May 2018 at 10:55 am UTC Likes: 2

"Dear Robocraft Community,
We have decided to remove Loot Crates/Boxes from ALL forms of Robocraft in response to persistent feedback from the community disliking their RNG nature of progression and P2W feeling."

Or because of the Dutch authorities pressuring other publishers to do away with loot boxes and the EU working on enforcement for other EU countries well, thus wanting to prevent getting into trouble before it's enforced EU-wide?

Then why don't they release it as beta then on Steam? That way, Linux users who bought the game can help them test it while enjoying their pre-order.

The Journey Down: Chapter Three has officially launched to conclude the series

I've played the first chapter a few times, such an awesome game! Never got around to buying the second chapter but always wanted to. Now that chapter three is here, I might buy them both!

Parkitect alpha 12 released which continues the UI overhaul

Looks a lot like RollerCoaster Tycoon but that's a compliment 'cause IMHO RCT is still a great series, esp. 1 and 2! And the fact that this games actually supports Linux is pretty sweet 'cause that means we finally have an RCT-like game on Linux NATIVE! :-)

The developers of 'Ticket to Ride' have abandoned Linux support for their game

Or maybe you could dig a little deeper into what people actually want before posting stuff like this? Because what bothers most people is not so much the fact that they may have made a mistake which led to the disappearance of the game from users' libraries, it's the fact they DON'T communicate at all. They don't respond on Steam and even worse: they don't respond to users' emails sent to their support staff.

I agree with you that a flamewar is not the solution, but I'm pretty sure you can agree with me as well that they should at least respond to emails sent to their support staff, 'cause making a mistake is one thing, but not communicating at all is inexcusable. (even a "we're working on it" answer would be better than keeping silent)

Quoting: const
Quoting: finaldestJust checked in my library and its no longer showing under Linux. Cannot install the game.

I may just (for the very first time) request a steam refund.
As stated above: Just today, I was abled to install and play this game through steam.

Please, don't let us be a community to flame and point fingers before clarifying. Give those guys a chance to fix things and politly inform them that you have issues if you have issues.

It was clearly not their plan to delete the game from every linux users library. They just decided to not add new dlc for us. All other problems did probably happen by accident, so give them a chance to fix it while staying the good guys that ported their game long before gaming on linux got close to 1% user base.
