Alright, so who wants to take bets on which will release first, Killing Floor 2 or Killing Room?

Quoting: BTREThere's no legal way to own this game on Linux now.
You'd better curtail that wrongthink quick or we're going to send our goons to break your kneecaps. Be a good patriot and never resort to piracy, which has no justifications whatsoever.

How long until this hits upstream for most distros?

Steam to get a massive update soon, Asia revenue increased nearly 500% since 2014 and more

The Steam Greenlight program was introduced in mid-2012 and not long after, the number of game releases began to grow sharply. A lot of these games being pixel art, 2D retro, side scrolling, anime, urban visual lesbian midget romance novels made by a team of 1. Of course, I'm not complaining... I just don't swing for that team.

Though I completely agree with your sentiments over achievement and stat tracking. Not everyone wants to have their game hours or online/offline status broadcast to the world. Which is probably one driving force behind competing stores.

Don't bother marking the date on your calendar. Remember that AMD time = Valve time * Global Foundries screwups. I've been burned by their "launch dates" too many times to fall for it yet again.

Fair enough, given that Linux is the operating system of choice for the sciences.

The open source Vulkan driver for AMD 'radv' has been merged into Mesa

Quoting: ShmerlBy that time, radv can be even better already. AMD developers are also considering stopping their current tedious pre-opensourcing review efforts, and instead complete radv with missing pieces. In the end, as long as result is working well and is open, everyone will be happy.
I, too, am considering forgoing AMDGPU and just using Mesa instead since that is the default in so many distributions anyway. Whatever is easier.

Shadow Warrior 2 may not come to Linux after all, it's getting a bit confusing

This is starting to become a chronic issue with big name announcements.

'Quadrilateral Cowboy' released for Linux, a single-player adventure in a cyberpunk world

That narration in the trailer was taken from some IT courseware. I'm pretty sure I recognize that voice.
