Well, I am not holding my breath. I'll let Liam tell us if it works or not. :)

I like the look. I might pick it up!

I bought the base game for like $20 and have probably spent about $20 on DLC since then. I have over 100 hours in the game. I'm not unhappy.

I will, however, probably wait for the big update to release before I jump into a new game because I don't like my saves becoming incompatible.

I might actually back this one. There is a Linux demo and his previous game was released to Linux and has great reviews to top it off.

It looks like good, frantic fun. For $10, one could easily try it for an hour to make sure it runs well and return it if not.

Added to wish list. I'll get it once it's out and introduce my kids to a racing game.

A writer for Forbes has been talking about the positives of switching to Linux

Quoting: KristianAside from gaming what are the most cited missing applications? MS Office? Visual Studio? Autocad? Adobe's suite of software? Anything else?
For people that are OK with running hosted software, the online version of Office is available to use on Linux. I think Manjaro even installs links to it if I remember correctly.

No, I'm not a fan of hosted software myself. But you know what, many other people are. To increase the Linux desktop user base, we need those "many other people."

Quoting: SalvatosWell that's refreshing indeed - also Ubuntu has changed more than I knew since I last used it.

But the fact that it lets you opt out of data collection at first launch instead of asking you to opt in still doesn't feel right. It's not the Linux way, if I have any authority to say so myself.
Hmm... I do not think this screen is that bad of a way to ask.

Very cool that Forbes is writing about Linux.

The developer of the dungeon crawler Gloomhaven is keeping an eye on Linux support requests

I play the board game with two of my friends on a regular basis, about once a month. It's really good. It's also huge and takes a lot of setup time. I'm very glad that one of my friends took on the board game hobby to a level way beyond myself because he buys and then learns and teaches all the games.

For that reason, I actually don't plan on buying the computer version of Gloomhaven. I am already experiencing the game. On computer, I'd rather play a game like Sword Coast Legends or NWN.
