I understand where materedu and others are coming from, but alot of projects start that way on Linux. Some one from the Linux community with the skills and drive steps up; turns it into their own personal project until the company behind the software is willing and/or able to code it themselves.

Hey Liam how about adding "how many green light games did you buy this month?" in the GOL survey, or something of the sort. I know this only applies to steam, but if there are devs paying attention to GOL then maybe they will get the hint that Linux gamers don't buy green light/incomplete games.

As an AMD user (Carrizo based laptop) I can tell you that the AMDGPUPRO driver is not superior to the open source AMDGPU driver (I'm running padoka ppa so it's version 12.1). The only game that actually ran faster was Bioshock infinite, everything else ran the same, or regressed a bit, and a couple games wouldn't even launch.

No worries, we'll release a patch for Tomb Raider before we put out this mysterious new title. (Whatever it is.) :)
Great to hear. Just wondering, if I buy Tomb Raider from the Feral Store do I get a Steam key or like a download link?
You get a Steam Key if I remember right. Feral just gets a bigger percentage of the money if you buy it from their own store. :)
Thanks. Just got it from the Feral store (yup it was a Steam key).

Looks fun, but where is the multiplayer? Local multiplayer would be great on a game like this.

If I buy this through Steam does Feral get a smaller cut than if I would have bought it from the Feral store? And if so, does anyone know how much of a difference?
