"Day-1 Linux!"
Translated:

"Our game will launch on Windows first while we fumble around with Linux for months and try to hide all evidence of our Linux promises!"

So first Ashes of the Singularity sweeps all evidence of Linux promises under the rug and now this. Somebody should compile an official List of Shame for projects which silently removed Linux support.

2016, Steam survey reports <1% Linux use: "OMG guys, this survey isn't accurate! It's all flawed!"

2020, Steam survey reports ~5% Linux use: "Wow, look how many of us there are! These numbers are accurate!"

Linux now has 2,000 games on Steam, big milestone

Unlike other genres where the name is actually descriptive of the game type, "rougelike" means nothing to me. Sure, I could look it up but I honestly don't care. It's just annoying to see that label constantly slapped onto games which isn't helpful information at all.

Other genres which could please stop flooding Linux are point-and-click, retro 2D, visual novels and puzzle games. There are thousands! Now we need focus from AAA commercial releases.

Anyways, I told myself I would stop counting after 2000 and so be it. Future milestones will be measured by what gets released. For me that is any Tribes game. I miss Tribes: Ascend like a first love and the Loki port of Tribes 2 appears to be unattainable.

CHKN is probably the weirdest sandbox game I've ever seen, coming to Linux on April 1st

If Trendy spent more time fixing their Linux builds than on petty lawsuits maybe they would have a happier fanbase.

Quoting: Comandante oardoWeird... GOG is not Linux friendly.
The only thing Linux-unfriendly about GOG is their extreme slowness to bring anything to Linux. We're still waiting on Galaxy and there are a ton of games they still need to update with the Linux version. I'm personally waiting on Knights of the Old Republic and several of their DOSBox enabled games.

Okay so they say it themselves: Teamspeak is expensive and Skype is a hassle, why not just use Mumble?

Two Worlds II to get major engine upgrade, new DLC and SteamOS & Linux support

I love GOG but that is the worst thing about them. There are several dozen games on there that have yet to add their already finished Linux ports.
