Nearly five years after the Kickstarter, Carmageddon still isn’t on Linux despite the stretch goal being reached

Yeah I have this game, the max damage release was fine and it was free for me so thats ok. But they really had no excuse to not release an experimental Linux version of the game given they had Unity3D as the engine and from my understanding they had updated it to the newer version also, so Linux compatibility should have been a easier move for them.

There is NO WAY that it would cost 200k to make a Linux version of this game given the engine used! So yes I think the developer lied and has turned its back on Linux supporters, don't give them a cent more!

I'm pretty happy with my Manjaro KDE desktop. Thought I have not been using it much lately(SSE/FO4 etc.), it still works without issues.

Here’s some interesting answers from Gabe Newell and Valve from the reddit AMA

Your questions will NEVER be answered because %99.9 of all questions are bombardments of Half-Life3 and when it's coming out, Gabe doesn't need to think to answer these, and people keep asking them and destroying opportunities for REAL QUESTIONS to be answered. They should just auto block all half-life questions and focus on REAL questions!

Valve are looking to gather a list of games that don't work with radeonsi

If a game requires special compat overrides and such, the developers need to be contacted by Valve to alter the launcher for those running MESA for the time being. People really shouldn't need to get special magic commands setup in order to run games, its annoying and majority of people will NOT know about them.

Just keep in mind with such a list you need to specify the exact Mesa build version (and LLVM obviously) along with some basic system/os information because it seems some games work on older MESA vs Newer at varying times during its development which is likely to cause some confusion...

Wish I could contribute to a 'LIST' report but no AMD card atm (waiting for VEGA).

XCOM: Enemy Unknown should now work properly with radeonsi

I do hope they make XCOM3 terror from the depth where its the winning scenario from XCOM1.

The Aliens had a awful lot going on underwater and I know XCOM2 hinted at terror from the depth in its ending, so perhaps XCOM3 will be a continuation, but hopefully we'll get some sort of expanded base building. (multiple bases would be nice).

No that's what > I < said. whatever.

Just because the steam survey says it knows about Wine Project doesn't mean they are attaching that info to either Windows or Linux OS stat record, what is likely happening is that it goes under OTHEROS part of the record.

I believe using Wine should show as LinuxOS, regardless of what the game supports. (to gauge steam users using Linux, wine is not windows!)

I don't think you understand what I was trying to say. So nevermind. Through one ear out the other...

Quoting: neffoHowever, the Wine version is definitely sent to Steam:
And those users are rejected in the stats most likely.
