Yes, that would be most comfortable. So I can stop when the topics reach small indie game reports for example. But its not that important, a newsletter would be much more welcome. You can link the full articles so you get the view count for them.

Hi there, is it possible to get these weekly recaps as Email? It would be perfectly for me, since there are so much posts and articles here on unknown indie games that do not interest me much and even on patches of games, that you quickly get lost if searching only for the very substantial news/articles.
(I still deem some articles here not substantial, but its way better and the viewcount and sorted by view - please switch the order - is REALLY helpful imo.)

Unity3D working on SDL, Wayland and Mir support

I especially hope that SDL itself will profit from it (bugfixes/performance wise). It it in my opinion still not very good. For example even Trine 1 is unplayable even on lowest settings (extremly ugly) on my intel laptop (<10 fps), which should not be the case for such a simple sidescroller imho.
Not sure if it is good for a game engine to put a additional layer between it and the system in general, but for unity I personally dont care much as long as it works better than before.

1. Dark Souls (First one would be enough for me, already played it 5 times or more but would play again)
2. Mass Effect (Especially the third, i liked it most)
3. Lord of the Rings: War in the North (i know bad critics and critically buggy even on windows but i like it)
4. Something like Guild Wars 2

Open Game Benchmarks, a brand new benchmarking website for Linux games

I would highly appreciate if there more people would try intel benchmarks. This is especially interesting for the loads of indie games which form the base of linux games. I have a laptop here with Intel HD Graphics 4400, and sadly found that many of 2d indie games are not playable (extrem low fps), propably due to bad port. Imho these graphics should be able to handle those games easily, atleast at lower settings. Examples are Trine1 and Apotheon. Funny: Metro Last Light worked well enough.
Maybe for GOL: I would highly appreciate if Intel runtests could be made with tested games. No deep testing, just try if it runs. I e.g. bought Victor Vran and was not able to play it due to missing opengl support (officially all intel graphics since 4000 support 3.3).

Our Linux & SteamOS gamer survey results for January 2016

I think a monthly survey is way to frequent to be honest. You have tried it out and it should be obvious now with 90% of the answers that you catch fluctuations, not trends (which should be the wished for result). Personally I have stopped answering these surveys because they're too frequent and it annoys me. Consider switching to 1 survey every 3 month.
Also the illustration is quite improvable. A dashed line at 1039, or 38% in an other example? what makes these numbers so special?
A yes/no question does not need a graphical display of both possible answers. Same holds for many others, it just gets overloaded.
Just trying to help.

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power Linux Version In Progress

I have the first two games, but atleast on my Laptop with Intel HD 4000 i wasnt able to even play the first on crappy resolution and lowest setting. The performance is horrible for a 2D game. Can someone confirm this for all versions or was it just the Linux port??
