Quoting: marcin1509I don't know why it is so expensive. 16 euro for stupid 2D racing game ? Maybe I'm blind but I can't see anything nice in it.
Why devs can't make any better game? There are not much good racing games for Linux, unfortunately.
If I knew how to make games, I would make the racing game of my own.

I still count 3 dimensions. And I don't know whether it is "stupid". And it sounds a bit... shall I say "odd"? when someone asks the devs for a "better game" and stats that he or she has no clue "how to make games".

F1 2017 is officially coming to Linux, releasing November 2nd from Feral Interactive

Quoting: Krogash86Why so much racing and rts on Linux and no good fps or mmorpg games :(

So many racing games? I currently count 3 (in the vein of "serious racing" ): Grid Autosport, Dirt Rally and F1 2015. Now comes a fourth which will replace the 2015 version. One for Rally fans, one for Street Racing, one for F1. We got everything barely covered.

What have you been playing and what do you think?

Quoting: pedrojmartmI have been playing War THunder. 3 hours every day, sadly it is on opengl and it runs about 30-40 fps minus than on Windows but even like that, i enjoy it. I hope Vulkan get to it really soon.

I'm also a rather frequent WT player (same nick as here), but I can't really complain. It runs flawlessly with all details maxed around 60+fps on 2560x1440 on a GTX1060.

The latest Steam Hardware Survey shows Linux market-share has declined again
2 October 2017 at 11:03 pm UTC

Quoting: Leopard
QuoteEven our own limited survey shows about 31.78% of people also use Windows.

Including you :P

Anyway , main thing is we are so much dependent on Steam. We need at least one out of Steam but yet popular title.


Does "War Thunder" suffice?

According to netmarketshare Linux hit 6.91% market share last month, higher than Mac

Quoting: KohriasAccording to StatCounter GNU/Linux is at 4% in Germany with ChromeOS being non-existant. One of the rare occassions where it feels like something is going in the right direction where I live ;)

Additionally it lists 1.6 percent "unknown". If these are OSes belonging to the Linux pool we are actually lurching towards six percent.

The beautiful space combat game 'EVERSPACE' finally lands on Linux in an unofficial form

Just bought on Humble Store. I suppose the "1,000 copies" shouldn't be much of an issue.

F1 2017 could be on the way to Linux, as Feral Interactive want to see demand for it

I'm interested. I already found F1 2015 quite entertaining and if F1 2017 improves on that I'm definitely tempted to throw some money at Feral.

What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think?

- War Thunder: been playing now for years - still love it
- Full Throttle Remastered: brought back great memories
- Steamworld Heist: Came with a Humble Bundle and was a very pleasant surprise
