I still think Morrowind is the best of the Elder Scrolls series. Oblivion and Skyrim are obviously technically superior, but they lack the atmosphere and roleplaying of Morrowind.

Quoting: Stupendous Man
- A New Hat for Chirper
Yes, just what I was dreaming of!!!

How about a free DLC to completely remove the $£%*&^! chirper?
There are mods for that. But I honestly don't mind the little bird.

Torment: Tides of Numenera delayed until 2017, partnering with a publisher

Quoting: ShmerlI hope Paradox aren't going to cause any issues (if they are this publisher). A lot of games developed by their own studios are Steam only. I even suspect upcoming Tyranny by Obsidian which is funded by Paradox will also have such problem.
Not a problem for me. Steam is a great platform, and we Linux gamers owe Valve and Steam a big thank you for FINALLY jump-starting Linux gaming. I also love how essay Steam makes it to manage my gaming library with automatic updates to both my games and whatever installed mods I have. In fact, I'm less inclined to buy a game if it DOESN'T have a Steam version.

Quoting: BOYSSSSSThe Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief is -90% on Bundle Stars, but I'm not sure they even count Linux sales.
Of course all the caveats of dealing with key resellers apply.

Quoting: linuxgamer...Linux is the most efficient (also only with controller support?)!
Steam Machine + Steam Controller for the win! \o/

Quoting: wolfyrion5mins in the game got lost,
tried tutorial for another 10mins got lost again = ALT + F4...
I guess another strategy bites the dust... next... :|
Is this intended to be satire? Paradox is not known for making n00b friendly casual games, and Hearts of Iron has traditionally been their most complex offering.

Next month marks seven years of me running GamingOnLinux, how should we celebrate?

You should celebrate by giving me a bunch of free Steam keys. :D

Steam Machines are dead in the water according to Ars, not quite

Quoting: EhvisI've seen this suggested in other places. Valve holds the key to success in their hands. If they wave a substantial portion of their fee for games that have proper SteamOS support, then the amount of money that developers/publishers could save would make creating a good port instantly viable. This could break the cycle.
Could Valve do that without getting hit by an anti-trust suit?

Ars Technica has been down on SteamOS pretty much from the beginning. I really don't care what they have to say.

Oops... you're right. I multiplied the percentages by a factor of 10.
