The Mean Greens - Plastic Warfare adds Steam Controller, Linux & SteamOS support in a big patch
4 Jun 2016 at 12:24 am UTC

Quoting: WurmphlegmGame works great for me on Linux Mint 17.3 64bit, with a intel i5-4690K, 16GB DDR3 PCI 1600, with a Nvidia GTX 980.
Put that into your PC info for your GOL account.

And ditto on that purchasing Mean Greens if others go in on it.



Somebody should start a forum thread for it.

Quoting: ZekThePenguinand most PC gamers care about performance above all. (I'm one of the rare few who cares more about comfort and ease of use, but I was a console gamer for many years before coming to PC.)
I think there is also a non-significant portion who are PC gamers for the freedom, myself included. Maybe I have a chronic case of NIH-syndrome but as I've shifted from console to Windows, Windows to Linux I've realized that what I'm really chasing is freedom and total control over my own system.

Steam's latest Hardware Survey is out, shows Linux at 0.84%

^That would be great for those of us who embraced Linux after building a Steam account.

GOG Connect announced, add certain Steam games to GOG for a limited time

"WE COULDN'T REACH THE STEAM SERVICE RIGHT NOW."

Looks like they still need to iron out the process. Despite the issues, it's great that GOG are doing this because there are a bunch of folks who only discovered GOG after having built up a Steam library.

I just wish they would open up their firmware.

Legends of Eisenwald being ported to Linux by Codeweavers, will use Wine
30 May 2016 at 9:27 pm UTC

They really should follow the WINE Wrapping Commandments:

1. No game newer than four years old shall be ported with WINE.

2. Games still receiving updates and content shall not be ported with WINE.

3. WINE is not to be used to ship big budget, commercial releases.

4. Games of graphical fidelity which would set a modern GPU ablaze shall not be ported with WINE.


Okay I just pulled that out of my ass but I'm pretty sure this release violates at least one of those commandments.

Quoting: coesetaFuncom? They should have better ported the secret world :/
If Funcom is feeling port-happy they should take a stab at porting The Longest Journey so that the whole series can be bought on Linux.

LEGO Universe is what we all want anyway.

Editorial: Valve have not abandoned SteamOS or Linux, things are looking pretty good

People are understandably upset about games with massive Linux delays or outright cancellations. Like with many internet comments, it is probably just people venting frustration.

Psyonix was kind enough to leave us with an update on how many months until they release the Linux port:
