Funny you should mention Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball as I was just wondering in their Steam discussion on a DRM-free release how in game items would be handled.

How to delay an indie game, Simon Roth of Maia writes about games taking time

Quoting: GuestThis is why indie devs should start by releasing only the Linux version! :) A hundred times fewer support requests!

And a million more "when does it release for Windows?" requests.

No Tux themed items to celebrate? Well, I guess it's only beta afterall...

ARK: Survival Evolved gains a paid DLC while still being in Early Access, reviews are destroying it
8 Sep 2016 at 2:58 pm UTC

After their most recent update, ARK crashes within 20 seconds of loading into the map. That in conjunction with all the Linux-specific graphical glitches has made ARK unplayable for me. Meanwhile, Wildcard wants me to pay for DLC to a broken and unfinished game?

Dungeons 2 and all the DLC is now available on GOG with Linux support

This looks like a game for anyone who loves "turtling" in RTS games. Wishlisted.

Rocket League officially confirmed for Linux with the next update, a beta version that is

Great news! Better late than never and I hope my gaming pals don't mind me joining into the scene so late. This is just another story to support the argument that developers should build for multiplatform from the start. They could have avoided all this porting headache.

The Witcher 3 was apparently never planned for Linux

Quoting: mr-eggLinux is not getting any love from your typical cash grabbing AAA devs.

We are relying now (given Aspyr games has gone to the dark side) on two porting companies ( VP, Feral interactive ) three if you count code weavers to bring existing or older titles across.

Fill us in? It looks to me like they're still selling Linux ports [External Link]. The most recent being Layers of Fear.

The Steam Hardware Survey for August 2016 shows Linux has grown again

What? Nobody is decrying the inaccuracy of these "irrelevant" surveys? I guess that only happens when the number goes down...

Become a futuristic gladiator in the upcoming 'Killing Room', an unforgiving rogue-like FPS
1 Sep 2016 at 2:19 pm UTC

Quoting: Comandante oardoWhat means "rogue-like"? :huh:

It's a poor name for a genre because it is not self-descriptive like other genre names. Rougelike games often don't have a persistent save state, each playthrough is it's own session. Death is permanent.

Speculation: It's looking like Rocket League may finally arrive on Linux in September
30 Aug 2016 at 8:00 pm UTC

1. While there is still a huge playerbase, the numbers are already dropping and this doesn't bode well for Linux getting in so late.

2. Others have already had years to practice. If you planned to jump in and be able to compete above the casual level, there is a lot of catching up to do. Hopefully not too late.
