Actually, the game will be Free to Play, according to the official website:

The game will be free to play, supported by a bunch of cosmetic upgrades; ranging from different ships and hundreds flags that you earn from matches.

So yes, the word should have been another one, but I'm sure you get the point. ;)

Quoting: darkszlufBundle Stars are legit resellers, keys are windows ones though.

The games have the Linux logo at the store, so they will count as a Linux sale. The only exception is Reus since it doesn't have official support.

Quoting: anewsonEDIT: Just FYI for me Reus performs terribly

It's a shame that for you it doesn't work, since it unfortunately confirms the information that some people would find problems running it. Thanks for sharing it, so that others can be warned about this particular game.

UPDATE: Whether if you already have the games or if you're planning to buy the bundle, there is more good news, since you can participate in a contest for one $100 Steam Wallet and two $50 prizes by only playing the games. Follow this link [External Link] for more information. You have time until 28th July. As with every contest, although it's a bit of a nuisance, it's suggested to read the Terms and Conditions.

Also, regarding Reus, despite the fact that there isn't a SteamOS icon at the store, once you buy it, the game will appear anyway in your Linux list. I played it for a few minutes and the performance was nice and didn't find errors.

Quoting: GuestHey SangreDeReptil, all your wallpapers have disappeared… I wanted to ask if you could remove the GamingOnLinux text from one or two of them, as I liked them apart from the big text :).

Actually, that is why they disappeared. Now they no longer have the GoL logo, and also, for some of them ("Platinum" and "Medal" ) you can ask me for the colours you want.

I tried to upload them right now, but the system isn't working. They will eventually appear in this site:

7) And a third idea for a tournament: to create and submit a video review of any Linux game of your choice.

Congratulations for the winner! To me, it wasn't really a surprise, from the beginning I knew this one had a lot of potential.

Also, thanks for this contest! It gave me the perfect reason to finally learn to use GIMP (before this one, I only used it to scale images, and nothing else). And having the source files is really a plus!

Now that there is this new article, can I contribute with some suggestions?

1) Instead of putting the rest of the wallpapers in the comments, wouldn't be better to upgrade our profiles so everyone who participated can show them there? Because this article will inevitably disappear when new ones are posted, and it would be a shame for new people to miss them.

2) It would be nice that for events like these, some small "medals" can be crafted to attach to the contestant's profile. They don't have to be complex, it can be a small 10x10 JPG, 10 Kb max, or something like that.

2b) If the previous idea is accepted, users can bet about who is going to win. If they guess, they can be rewarded a special medal.

3) An idea for a next competition: to create a new skin for this website. I personally don't have anything against this minimalistic style, but I would love to see a dark alternative, for example.

4) Another idea for a competition: to create the GamingOnLinux.com theme, to use in the livestreams. It can be divided in two mini-tournaments: one for when the logo appears at the intro, and the second one as a background music for all the duration of the stream.

5) There should be three places instead of one, and escalate the reward accordingly. For example, 3 game keys for the first place, two for the second, and so on.

6) Some other ideas for prizes: to be gifted a bundle of his/her choice, free month subscriptions to different services, an interview during the livestreams (if someone has a personal project, this option would give him/her a lot of exposure), to livestream (and play) games of his/her choice...

Quoting: liamdaweCompetition closed thanks for entering folks!

I have picked the winner and they have been contacted.

You should make a new article, announcing who the winner was. This single message, as a conclusion, felt a bit abrupt. :)

Quoting: GuestYour wallpapers are cool SangreDeReptil but it’s a bit strange that the gamepad is so blurry.

The gamepad texture is blurred on purpose, because if it's very clear, the cable wouldn't be visible and the general image would be confusing (I wanted to make it that way in the beginning, and it didn't work). Though, the texture is in a separate layer, so, if necessary, can be easily changed. Thanks for your feedback!
