Until Valve releases hard numbers, it's all guess work based on incomplete data.

Why don't they just give us a simple Ubuntu repository? That would make things so much easier for everybody.

Facepunch Studios 'Rust' has $4.3 million in refunds

Quoting: lucifertdarkI don't see this as something to be proud of, any refunds at all should be seen as a failure on the developers part. Why are 329,000 people unhappy enough with the game to want a refund? He doesn't care cause he doesn't have to deal with them now they've had a refund.
That's the failure of crowdfunding and "early access". It's free money as far as the developers are concerned, so let people have their refunds. What does the developer care?

This game was pretty much a scam from the beginning. I love how they wasted backers' money for the first two-years before scrapping the whole thing and asking for even more money so they could rewrite the game from scratch. That kind of thing would never happen if a developer was held accountable, which is one reason why I despise the whole "crowdfunding" phenomenon.

Leaving Lyndow removes Linux support from Steam due to masses of bug reports
27 Jun 2017 at 2:23 pm UTC

Linux users account for less than 2% of our customers but over 50% of our bug reports...
If they're legitimate bugs then what's the problem? Are they expecting Linux gamers to just suck it up and accept buggy software? I really don't understand the nature of his complaint.

Quoting: g000hWaiting for the day that Steam client for Linux is 64 bit..
What benefit would Steam gain from being 64-bit? You can install and run 64-bit software through Steam, so what does it matter if Steam itself is 64-bit?

The first of the free Dying Light DLC will add new enemies
17 Jun 2017 at 1:17 pm UTC

It had a rough start on Linux, but it runs great now. I've actually been really impressed with Dying Light on Linux, especially since it's rumored the port was handled by a couple of college interns.

PAYDAY 2 - Ultimate Edition is now live

Ah, so that's why they gave it away for free. They're hoping folks will spend the money to upgrade to the ultimate edition since "Gee, I already own the game, so..."

Clever marketing ploy.

Meanwhile, I'm saying, "Thanks for the free game!"

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen expansion announced, sounds very exciting

I'll probably buy this even though I haven't​ come close to beating the main game.

Quoting: razing32...is she fighting in high heels ?
Female attire in video games rarely makes sense. I was playing Xenoblade Chronicles on my New 3DS, and I had to face-palm when the armor upgrade for a sensibly dressed woman was a bikini. Video game logic at its best.
