The Humble Store is having a huge sale right now, some seriously good Linux deals on

Quoting: stretch611I noticed that Project Highrise is pretty cheap right now as well. ($6.11 US w/extra 10% from monthly)

The problem is that it has no official linux support (but does have linux build threads on Steam.) Those threads have some activity, but does anyone here have it? Does it work ok?
Project Highrise is one that annoyed I got it in a bundle and put it on my windows steam account only to find it has an unsupported linux version.

I've played a couple of hours and the game runs fine, it does have that bug with not starting if you have a prefs directory, but just playing it I have run into no issues.

There have been 2 sizable updates since I have had the game which makes it weird that the bug is still not fixed.

oh just had a quick look again and discovered I can build above air but need a special block.

Dammit, they're killing me on Mad Max. I decided to do the good thing and buy this on feral and set a price of $15 when it was on sale on Steam. Then Feral had it on sale for $18! So no buy. And now the base price on steam has dropped to $19.99 for some reason and its heavily discounted too but feral have it 50% off on $29.99 so its $15 there! That's a big price difference!

So now the do something good me is fighting the cheapskate me!

So to summarise, there may or may not be a linux version of Witcher 3, which may or may not be in development and may or may not be released sometime that may or may not be in the future?

Quoting: aironeousBeen playing this for a while now on my KDE Neon laptop with a gtx 960m with a logitech 710 controller. You don't get the levels automatically like aging, you have to press the back button on the controller or click L on the keyboard. I went 34 levels wondering when I was going to level and finally went to the forums and asked. I'm kind of done with the game. I am playing divinity original sin now.
I'm glad it wasn't just me, took me an eternity to reliase that little 'help box' was actually the level up thing. When I did I felt stupid as I did 7 level ups, then started laughing until I hit 12 and then just wanted it to stop until it finally did at level 18. Up until then I'd been wondering why people rated it so highly since I was using a basic shotgun to slowly blast enemies since as is the modern norm, loot and monsters level up with you so no level, no interesting enemies or weaponry!

Humble Store is doing a DRM-Freedom sale with some great Linux deals
6 Jul 2016 at 12:24 am UTC

Ah I take it the last post answers my question as to whether the drm free version of the metro games is available for linux?

(oh yes, now I see the information hidden behind a mouseover, only the windows version is drm free).

And so it begins, the Steam Summer Sale is here

Is there any actual content in the $2.50 worth of DLC between Tomb Raider and the GOTY version?

What game would you most like to see on Linux this year?

I saw a few people mention newer EA games but nobody mentioned Origin. Galaxy got a mention too, one thing I would like to see is these clients and Steam come with the ability to download windows games to run through wine!
