Looks like they replaced that image now with something a little more honest.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroEDIT:

also, @supashang, I agree with the sentiment that there's a lot of good indie games out there. When I first got back into PC gaming (now as a Linux user) I had a great time with them, partly because of the novelty of being able to play stuff natively on Linux. But there's only so many pixely games one can play before it all starts to feel the same and it becomes incredibly hard to separate the wheat from the chaff (and there's a loooooooot of chaff, which some might say is making the whole indie scene into a sinking ship).

Sure, I still play quite a few lower-budget games. Last one I played was This War of Mine and it was excellent. But still, there's nothing I'd like more than to be able to play Fallout 4 next week. I assume most people feel the same

I know myself that I shy away from pixelated 2D games and I'm sure I'm not the only one. We didn't build/buy these strong computers just to play games that even a GameBoy could run. So many indie devs say they targeted an "oldschool retro look" when in reality they just went with that because it is easier to build. Steam Machines may struggle if these types of games oversaturate the Linux library any more than they already do. That AAA to indie ratio needs to be brought into balance ASAP.

Not a game from this year but this is the first year I've tried on Linux: Dungeon Defenders. The mouse sensitivity is broken so you are forced to either in play bird's eye view or with a gamepad.

It's another game from Funcom, so it looks like they are swaying towards more Linux support for their games.

Aren't the also the ones behind Lego Minifigures Online? It may not seem like much but let's appreciate the fact that there is now a LEGO game on Linux! And if they're beginning to warm up to Linux I would absolutely love to find an announcement for porting their title Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. The new one is already compatible..

The fact that they added a throwable noise source made this game way more interesting to me.

Quoting: adolsonI can't wait for it to finally be out so that I never have to hear about it again.

I know right? As someone who has no interest in the title it is rather irritating to constantly see "Durr hurr Divinity Origami Shin NEW ANNOUNCEMENT this hour!" plastered between all of the interesting posts.

I'm waiting on those Fall sales before I move back out of question 12's "None" category.

Quoting: alexJava is however a big problem since Minecraft for one is using it. Maybe you could compile it using GCJ:

https://gcc.gnu.org/java/ [External Link]

I have never tried but with some minor "porting" it might compile. Or maybe they could make the Steam Runtime include Java?

Minecraft was never made available on Steam. Minecraft Storymode, yes but that's a different game. And I don't see Java being included in the Steam runtime any time soon because legal issues.

They plan to support gaming on Linus? I'm not sure he's going to appreciate that.
