New Stellaris developer video brings on the hype
12 Apr 2016 at 7:38 pm UTC

Paradox has been a great supporter of Linux, and they've quickly become one of my favorite developers. In fact, one of the first games I bought when Steam for Linux was released was Crusader Kings II, and I bought Europa Universalis IV on day one.

I'm definitely looking forward to Stellaris as well as Hearts of Iron IV.

I wish they would resurrect Runemaster because that game looked phenomenal.

Still no fix for the game not recognizing the Steam Controller in Linux. I sent them an email about it several months ago, and they acknowledged they were aware of the issue and would be fixing it in the future, so when I saw a major patch start downloading yesterday, I thought maybe they had finally addressed it. Nope.

So I sent them another email requesting a solution.

ARK: Survival Of The Fittest the free online survival arena is now on Linux & SteamOS

"...no pay for anything here as they are funded by the original ARK."

I wonder how people who paid for the original game feel about that?

How to tell what Steam games work on Linux & SteamOS, steamplay does not mean Linux support

I thought the Tux icon was perfect, but I understand that Valve has a vested interest in pushing their own branded Linux distro, and I don't have a problem with that. However, they really need to brand their OS with something more distinctive than the generic Steam logo. Something like this:


Enemy Starfighter, the seriously cool looking space shooter is no longer coming to Linux

Sounds like another developer who painted himself into a corner with the "develop for Windows now, port to Linux later" attitude. I really hope developers will start being more conscientious about cross-platform support in the future.

Developer of Banished writes up his thoughts on Linux

Hmmm... as interested as I am in this game, I think I'll keep my distance for a while because it sounds like the Linux version is going to have some serious issues when it's eventually released.

Quoting: Cheeseness

There are a couple of copies up for grabs over here if you're keen.
Ah, darn, I missed it. :(

Consortium: The Tower looks incredible, promising day-1 support and needs funding (updated)

Quoting: liamdaweI would hardly call that upfront, that's an old post before this campaign was even a thing, that linked first post states:
Can't guarantee a day 1 Linux release, but it will be something we'll be looking at from the start
Yet this campaign said Linux/Mac was day-1 in the FAQ, I email them, it gets edited with no reply to me.

I consider that a bit shady personally.

If it does come to Linux sometime, great, I will play it. There's no way I'm funding it now though.
That is very shady. How many of their pledges up to this point were based on apparently false promises of a Day 1 Linux release?

Give us a finished game with Linux support, then ask us for our money. Yeah?

Looks pretty cool, and local co-op is a great feature.
