BROKE PROTOCOL is like a low-poly GTA Online and it's coming to Linux

Quoting: razing32Hmm , I knew it had single player. Does it have a comparable multi player ? Then i stand corrected.
They have online co-op mode but nothing like GTA online.

Quoting: razing32Hmm gameplay seems to focus on the criminals.
Do they want to make this a cops versus robbers game or a free for all ?

I any case looks fun.

I love how the void gets filled on Linux. No Gta 5 but we have a cops and robbers game after all. (not the same thing i know , but in concept at least)
I consider the Saints Row series to be the closest commercial thing we have to GTA right now.

Grow and modify an ecosystem with simulated evolution in 'Ecosystem' now on Kickstarter

I've been looking for a good solution to set up a virtual "fish tank" with some of my old hardware. Achilles is not visually exciting while Species ALRE and 3DVCE were foolishly only made for windows. As long as Ecosystem isn't going to be locked into anything like Steam, it should be perfect!

DayZ is not currently coming to Linux, but the developers are open to it

DayZ has been around for what feels like forever. If they haven't ported by now, they probably never will.

Eastshade, an absolutely gorgeous looking adventure game about a travelling painter will come to Linux

I was about to hound the dev for ripping assets from Leaving Lyndow until that third paragraph. Checking on itch, Leaving Lyndow still does not advertise a Linux build of the game.

This dev should look into doing an "Education Edition".

Kongregate have announced their own store and client 'Kartridge', will not support Linux

No libre client? They should have called it Kongregate Kancer.

Quoting: madchaotikanIt would be interesting to know the perdentages of linux within 5000000 copies and if Linux itself has a positiv ROI.

This game was the main argument for me no longer dualbooting into Windows. Since them for me Linux games have the critical mass reached.
A few weeks ago, someone representing Paradox apparently complained about Linux sales being too low for making Linux sustainable. Liam had it covered here.
It's actually really hard to believe that our usual market share of 1-2% of 5,000,000 sold copies (we're still talking 50-100k Linux copies) wouldn't be enough to cover Linux-specific costs, but that's what they said.

Btw. Same here. For me, Cities Skylines marked the turning point in operating system usage for gaming purposes. After getting it and the games following it, I booted into Windows less and less. One of Microsoft's awesome updates seemed to have corrupted the BCD, a few months ago. I never bothered to repair it. With WINE having made dramatic progress last year and able to run most of my older Windows games now, there is not a serious reason left for me to use Windows for gaming. No, I don't play PUBG. :D
I adopted Linux on my main systems around that time, late 2014 - early 2015. The three games I first played after doing so were Deadcore, The Talos Principle and Cities Skylines. Everything worked flawlessly and I will always recall those titles fondly because of the newness of the experience.

GOG adds the Linux version of party-based RPG Pyre

Quoting: sbolokanovNo-GOG policy. No-Steam policy.



I move to proper hardware (Vega I look at you) and buying more books (real books, the ones on paper).

To need to add 32bit crap on your 64bit system, just to download 64bit game is really annoying.
GOG does not force you to download anything 32 bit IIRC unless the game itself is 32 bit.

Homogeneous multi-GPU is making my unused GPU collection yearn for some action.
