Feral Interactive are again teasing a new Linux & Mac port on their radar

Screw Warhammer. Where is my Tomb Raider?
Valve & HTC launch the Vive VR device, without Linux & SteamOS support

This was expected. Valve released the VR performance test app for Windows only, so it was obvious that they are behind when it comes to SteamOS.
PAYDAY 2 on Linux & SteamOS, some thoughts & port report

GTX 980m binary blob here. Works great. Didn't measure FPS or play with the settings. But at default settings (whatever that is) and 1080p resolution plus vsync it seems to be running at a solid 60fps.
See how well SteamOS can run Arma 3 against Windows in this new video

Wow, that's impressive.
How big is Linux gaming? Some estimates

Valve need to take similar approaches in marketting to those used by console manufacturers. They should make deals with big studios to bring the famous AAA games on it and they need to market it to console gamers rather than PC gamers. If the likes of Call of Duty and Assassins Creed are released for SteamOS and they utilize Steam Controllers well then that will be good incentive to console gamers to start switching.

On the other hand, Microsoft probably is doing what it's doing for the same reason that made Valve create SteamOS which is to protect their customer base. With mobile devices growing bigger than ever and Linux maturing Windows is set to lose more and more customers every year and so Microsoft is trying to move into a different model similar to that of Apple, because otherwise it will be hard for Windows to compete if they don't lock their customers into a complete ecosystem that goes beyond just Windows.

Quoting: wolfyrionJeez!!! Not another turn based strategy game!!! :dizzy:
What is going on with all the developers these days, everyone has to create a boring turn based strategy game! Why???

I need adrenaline , I need to test my reflexes, I need pure awesome action - I cant wait for turns .... :'(
Exactly. Why would you want to play a turn based strategy when you have chess?
Tomb Raider, the awesome 2013 version looks like it's heading to SteamOS & Linux

Great news
Nvidia talk Vulkan in a developer blog post, they say Vulkan supplements OpenGL
15 Jan 2016 at 10:24 pm UTC
nVidia is only saying that to assure current users of OpenGL that they won't be abandoned. But down the road there won't be a need for OpenGL once there is stable libraries/engines built on top of Vulcan to provide simplicity.
Insurgency FPS adds official Steam Controller support, better gamepad support overall

I was playing it over the weekend using a Steam Controller. I am new to Steam Controller and I am coming from consoles. I managed to make 15 kills though (and 15 deaths), so a 1:1 k/d ratio, which is great for someone new to Steam Controller. As a player coming from consoles, I would say Steam Controller is definitely superior to traditional controllers when it comes to FPS games.
Valve should stop marketting their Steam Machines to PC gamers and start marketting them to console gamers instead.
