Woohoo, this is awesome news.

And yes, Sunless Sea is already available. I've been playing it for the last couple of weeks.

EDIT: Still haven't updated their Steam page for some reason, but I did pick it up in that humble bundle and have been running it through Steam since...

Remember I mentioned the pirate combat game Tempest could come to Linux? It's coming soon for sure now

Sweet! I've been following this game for a while, as Linux support was hinted in the past. This is very welcome news indeed.

Almir needs to be slapped with an oversized piece of toast. I wouldn't waste money on this.

I played around with the Editor briefly several months ago while I was shopping around for an engine to use in a project. It compiled fine on my system and seemed to run fine. I ended up deciding to work on a 2D project instead, so I didn't explore a whole lot of it. It is a fairly impressive editor and I was happy to see that it ran on Linux at the time I tested it.

Total War: WARHAMMER might not see a day-1 Linux release

My enthusiasm for this has dropped significantly today after discovering via Total War: Attila that the Total War games are not cross-platform multiplayer capable. Boo.

Taken from Attila's FAQ page for Macs...
Q: Can I play multiplayer with a PC Player?
A: Unfortunately there is no cross-platform multiplayer functionality, though you can play with other Mac users (Steam version only)

I'll take the launch delay. Releasing this on Linux at all is awesome.

DiRT Rally also looks like it's coming to SteamOS & Linux

Been watching my friend play this since release with steam broadcast. Would be a dream come true to see this on Linux.

Want to see the very popular Stardew Valley on Linux? There's a chance

Apparently it is outselling The Division and Far Cry: Primal, so hopefully we'll get to see it on Linux...

I picked it up on a whim after seeing it posted here. This is the first I've heard of it, so I haven't been following it all. It looked interesting at first glance. I didn't play it very long before I requested a refund, however. It just didn't sit well with me. I found the turn based mechanics to be clunky or cumbersome. There was just something about having to wait a second or two between melee swings in combat that really detracted from the game experience. I should mention that I have a halfway decent gaming machine too.The pathfinding was slightly awkward. Someone else might enjoy the game. The survival aspects seemed kind of neat. I just didn't find it fun in its current state. Perhaps with a bit of optimization, I could have found it to be a more fun experience.
