More shots of Steam's new Library design thanks to a leak (updated)

Great - so I will have to change to XFCE to compensate the wasted resources of the library?
Hope they have a do-not-annoy-me-with-useless-pictures-aninimations-and-features-in-my-library switch in the options.

That Indienerds Collection looks quite nice.

QuoteThe only downside, is that like other previous Total War ports the online multiplayer is not cross-platform.
:'(




Well, sometime after summer and a few patches then, I guess.... :(

nice to see a day one release though
Outer Wilds becomes another Epic Store exclusive for a limited time
12 May 2019 at 6:20 pm UTC
One kind of wonders why epic store exclusivity seems to prevent selling linux versions on other stores.
Is it simply the linux versions not being done (yet)? Or do the contracts actually prevent them selling elsewhere for an operating system that the epic store does not even support? I mean surly the marketing term 'PC-platform' can not have legal binding power, can it?
You can now easily run the Epic Store on Linux with Lutris, Epic suggests applying for a grant

It workedd - I grabbed a free beer thingy - it updated itself and i fiddled with some options - it stoppt working - and now I play Epics 'The Witness' via Steam/Proton.... somehow this feels wrong. On another note: Go grab some money for a job well done Strider!

That fancy site better not be loading pictures from the web every time one starts it... looking at you current banner view library.
Valve making steps to address 'off-topic review bombs' on Steam
16 March 2019 at 5:05 am UTC Likes: 1
So if a game is buggy on release and immediately gets "review bombed" for it, you will not see any score at all for that time period? - Well, I guess no press is better than bad press... . On the other hand one wonders why publishers/developers complain about lack of exposure constantly then... . Or maybe creators/publishers of consumer content should try to not constantly find new ways to anger their customers.

I think the business looks at the reviews the wrong way. They are indicators that something is wrong with the product and needs to be changed. Hiding the reviews/scores does not help solve this problem.
Feral Interactive confirm DiRT 4 for Linux due "in the next couple of months"

I'll probably buy it in the next couple of years then ;-)
Armello, the really fun fairy-tale digital board game had a huge upgrade

Just got my feet wet with the first two mp matches: the game is maybe a little slow for my taste in mp(4players taking turns) but quite a bit of fun and the turn timers are well set. What makes it great is the comeback potential and the pure nastiness of the actions you can pull. ;-)
A reminder about Steam's platform-specific wishlist feature you should be using

One could question why the wording of the option does in no way reflect what it actually does.(I always wondered why I was shown windows titles regardless of that setting)

One could also question why if an account does have a Linux or Mac client associated it is not automatically flagged as having interest in a Linux or Mac version of games. Even if a person uses multiple operating systems the moment they have a client on that OS they clearly are interested in gaming on that platform.
