For now, I will only buy properly ported games. Proton is a nice thing to have, for the games in my library that will never see a official port. I'm not giving my money to companies that ignores the Linux market.

I wished they instead fix the bug preventing AMD users from playing it. If I new they were going to ignore it for long I had asked for a refund on the same day.

Just asked for a refund now, just to see if we get some attention to this problem.

But the whole Left 4 Dead 1 is included into Left 4 Dead 2.
Yes, I know. But that wish to have everything running here is strong :-)

Today, Linux game porter Ethan Lee begins officially working on Steam Play's Proton

Speaking of Proton, now its possible to finally play one of the few Valve games that were not ported to Linux: Alien Swarm. It would be nice if Liam take a look at it.

Also, Left 4 Dead 1 still doesn't work for me.

Feral show off Total War: WARHAMMER II on Linux, along with confirming more Linux ports and a Vulkan teaser

If my experience with Proton means something, Feral is pretty safe. Unless Proton magically hits Gallium 9 levels of performance, their ports will always be better.

And I still keep my promise of "no tux, no bux".

Unsung Warriors, an upcoming 2D action-adventure has a free prologue available and it's pretty good

I tested it and indeed, the controls are really good. Looking forward to the finalized game.

Mark of the Ninja Remastered from Klei Entertainment due out on October 9th

I hope they improve the performance a bit too. The original wasn't the most lightweight indie game I played on a AMD APU, and one of the reasons I fear for the choice Atari made for their new Linux based console.

Indie racing game Super Indie Karts adds a new slower mode, it's actually pretty great

I bought it last time you showed it. It's still early on development, a limited number of tracks are available. And those that are, some need a rebalance of obstacles on the course, because it can be pretty annoying sometimes.
3D tracks also have performance issues, even on more beefy hardware. This is a type of game that need to care for low budget hardware.

With that said, it carries a lot of potential, because it nailed that Mario Kart feel pretty well. The only one on PC that I can remember. The developer have a real gem on their hands.

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS to get more multithreading

When Xbox One and PS4 were announce with 8 core CPUs, you would think that developers would think 4 cores or more is the future. But unfortunately Intel continued pumping out 2 core CPUs like there's no tomorrow, so you have a large consumer base with those and worse, 2 core, 2 thread Pentiums.

Only now Intel is making 4 core CPUs their baseline. And we have to thanks AMD for that.

Adventure and exploration platformer 'La-Mulana 2' is planned for Linux

I hope they make the menus less awkward this time. The first one needed some studying to get out of the game...
