Quoting: TheRiddickMiracle, ironically if they switched their engine to Vulkan then they could spin a very effective linux port themselves rather then doing this slow outsourcing work thing which sees the Linux users unable to enjoy mods or multiplayer due to version mismatches!
You make it sound so easy.

Heroes of Arca, a turn-based strategy and RPG released for Linux, some thoughts

Call me picky, but I wouldn't want to play it just by looking at the first screenshot.

Thanks for the review.

The Wild Eight is another game funded by Kickstarter that decided to delay the promised Linux version

Quoting: Mountain ManIt's about time for Linux gamers to boycott Kickstarter. With over 3000 Linux games currently on Steam, and more being released every day, we can afford to be choosy.
I think you're right.

Well, at least now I don't have to feel bad for removing them from my Steam Activity Feed. They were less spammy than others, but it was getting a little crowded. I like my feed to mostly have friend info with a scattering of updates from games I follow.

Valve set to replace Greenlight with Steam Direct

The debate is very similar if not identical to Apple's vs Google's vetting methods into their mobile stores. IMO, you can't say one is better than the other overall. I appreciate that it's a lot harder to get into the Apple Store because I can then be more confident in the quality and safety of apps. On the other hand, the extra freedom in the Play Store (and developer access to Android hardware controls) provides me with apps that simply don't exist in the Apple Store or have fewer features.

I'm leaning toward Steam Direct having an entry fee. I don't think it should be free at all. But I think a low fee should be tried first, like $50.

The Linux release of River City Ransom: Underground will see a delay

First thing I checked: Does it have co-op? Yes. I'm following this one!

Day of Infamy, the WWII FPS has a big polishing update, take a look at my video
12 Feb 2017 at 5:12 pm UTC

Thanks for the nice video. I'm an Insurgency fan and the gameplay you posted looks pretty good. The graphics are lame and WWII is such an old gaming theme, but it does look fun. I may pick it up when it's out of Early Access and has a Linux badge.

A look at Tinertia, a twin-stick rocket-jumping shooter for Linux

I am not very attracted to platformers, but this one might have to be an exception. It looks like it could be fun and challenging.

HITMAN for Linux officially announced, port by Feral Interactive and arriving this month

Man, I wasn't planning on getting this Hitman, but now I might.

Hearthlands, the cute city builder has a final release and it's great

I don't understand why it still says Early Access in Steam.
