Shadwen, the new stealth game from Frozenbyte has a playable Linux demo
25 Feb 2016 at 8:16 am UTC

I tried to launch the game but couldn't even get through the launcher. I couldn't find my screen's resolution on the list. It doesn't seem to support 2560x1440 at all, highest I saw was 1920x1200.

Speculation: A job posting for Elite Dangerous hints at possible future Linux support
22 Dec 2015 at 5:11 am UTC

I've been waiting on a Linux port of this for a long time. Bought Star Citizen as at least Chris has said on multiple occasions that he wants to support linux (sounds like Vulkan, he wasn't happy with Crytek's OpenGL perf). I was hoping ED could hold me over for a bit but they haven't even confirmed that they were working on a Linux build...

If anything, given the latest expansion was $45 for existing owners I'm glad I waited.

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

Quoting: LukeNukemMan, I hope to hell that it becomes a Linux exclusive. That would seriously get a lot of knickers in twists.

You can give up that hope. Valve doesn't do exclusives. They've stated specifically when asked about Steamboxes that they don't plan to ever have a Steambox exclusive, they want their games on all supported platforms.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Free Weekend & XCOM 2 Available For Pre-Order For Day-1 Release
11 Sep 2015 at 1:33 am UTC

I agree with the above that it's best to wait and make sure it's truly day 1 release before buying.

That said, XCOM2 is one of my most wanted games, very happy that it's going to be on Linux. Would be even better if it was fully native from Firaxis, but at least it's not a wrapper.

This is great news, the Shadow Warrior port is excellent, top tier porting job. Day 1 purchase for me.

Looks Like Shadow Of Mordor Won't Support AMD Graphics On Linux At Release
14 Jun 2015 at 9:14 am UTC Likes: 1

I don't think Aspyr 'fixed' their AMD issues on Civ... it has a number of graphical features disabled from the Windows one (water, high detail terrain). I think the backlash here, Reddit and Phoronix probably just made them cut any features that didn't work on AMD so that they could claim compatibility.

SOMA, The New Horror From Frictional Games Due In September Day-1 For Linux, New Trailer Too
30 May 2015 at 10:54 am UTC

Buying this day 1 for sure. I loved the first Amnesia and day 1 Linux build is impressive, especially with a custom engine.

Open Source Development Environment Godot Engine 1.1 Out

Isn't UE4 the most advanced open source game engine? This is free software and UE4 is not, but aren't both open source?

Why Are We Still Dual Booting?
13 Mar 2015 at 6:52 am UTC

I have always and will continue to dual boot for the foreseeable future; however I am more likely to buy a game I'm not sold on or buy it before it drops as heavily in price if it has Linux support. For example I bought Hotline Miami 2 at full price whereas I generally wait for a Steam sale on Windows games. I have plenty of games to play, being able to play it in my primary OS makes me much more likely to buy it and spend time in it.
