Only one issue in-game that I could see was that water had some weird flicker on it, but I could easily ignore it for a beautiful bit of nostalgia on Linux.
No! Don't do that! If there is an issue that you think might be related to Wine not working as it should, please file a bug report instead of just ignoring it.

Feral Interactive's Linux ports may come with Vulkan sooner than we thought (UPDATED)

At this point I think instead of investigating if a port of Civ IV is feasible, Aspyr should just outsource the job to Feral.

Haven't tried them, but these devices claim to be Linux compatible and are not that expensive:

"After release when we've seen how the game fares in the wild, we are looking at porting the game to different devices, consoles, etc. Hopefully we'll get you guys on Mac and Linux the rock solid build you deserve, but we can not make any promises."
In other words: Hey, we just figured that we will make more money porting this to consoles, so screw you.

Civilization VI for Linux is no longer certain, only a possibility

Damn, just a few days ago I asked a community manager on the Civ VI Steam forum why they only listed Windows in the Minimum System Requirements and his answer was that a Linux port is already confirmed and that it is just a matter of time. And now this!

CD PROJEKT RED replied to me about The Witcher 3 and Linux, flat-out denying to answer any questions

I don't actually care much about Witcher 3, but what about Cyperpunk 2077? Is there any info on that?

OTON X claims to be the first artificial intelligent games console, it's powered by Linux

So you either get an Atom CPU with a low powered Intel GPU, not really a gaming system, or an Nvidia GPU, but with ARM CPU, which wont run any of the titles available on Steam due to their different architecture. Sorry, but this product has disqualified itself for gaming right from the beginning.

The developers of Armello are facing a bit of a backlash over the DLC not coming to GOG

Yesterday I just bought Lords of Xulima Deluxe Edition (read: with the DLC) on GoG. Apparently, Numantian Games have no problem to "manage DLC on GOG [is] because of the nature of DRM free platforms", why would they, what exactly is the problem with that?

Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire, a visually appealing and beautifully presented tactical turn-based RPG

When you write that combat feels quite a bit like in The Banner Saga, does it have the weird and unrealistic "feature" that totally put me off in The Banner Saga which gives you more attacks for the remaining units if you loose other units in battle?
