Quoting: 14No cross-platform is really disappointing. A moment ago, I was about to organize a game day with my friends so we could play after the game is released in next month's Humble Bundle. While I still look forward to playing the game all by myself, playing with my friends was my main excitement.
Just got snagged with this. Does anyone have an up-to-date grand list of cross-platform windows to linux games.

It is still in beta as far as I'm concerned. I'm still waiting for an update that will allow me to hear the game's audio.

Getting the 'threaded GL dispatch' code into Mesa is causing some issues, Valve might use a white-list

If SteamOS does adopt a whitelist for this, it really could become a "best distro for gaming" out of the box.

Croteam say all Serious Sam games are on their way to Linux with Vulkan, also VR on Linux teaser from Valve
