Pinstripe
Torment: Tides of Numenera (loving this, now I've had some time to really play it)
Path of Exile (in Wine, with some Windows buddies)

RUINER, the Unreal Engine brutal action shooter has been delayed for Linux

Sigh. Bit annoying making us jump through these hoops when they already announced it was coming.

Ryan "Icculus" Gordon is looking for new games to port to Linux, pay not required

Quoting: Feist"Grim Dawn". Diablo/Viktor Vran-like game that is sopposed to be great. As far as I recall the developer said that a linux version was possible at some future date.

Grim Dawn would be a great option. It works in wine now I believe, but it was flaky for a long time.

Quoting: Feist"Kathy Rain" and "Technobablylon". Two adventure games with good reviews both were supposed to be ported to linux but for differing reasons the porting seems to have stalled indefinitely.

I wasn't aware of Kathy Rain. Looks interesting! Technobabylon I really enjoyed. It works with the Linux version of AGS, so it's a shame it didn't get official support.

Valve announce a new game that's not Half-Life 3, introducing 'Artifact', a card game

At first I was excited that Valve announced a new game... but now, I am disappoint.

If wanted to play cards, I'd play cards.

Harold Halibut, a clay animation adventure game, set in a spaceship stuck under sea will have Linux support

Already backing it!

Hopefully they can raise the rest of the coin.

Shakedown: Hawaii from the Retro City Rampage developer is now only a possibility for Linux

Quoting: StackMasherThe title is kind of misleading, it makes it sound like the game might not get released and if it does it will only be on linux

I didn't interpret it that way, but now you mention it I can set what you mean. Maybe I'm just used to Linux users getting bad news? :)

Pathfinder: Kingmaker, an isometric single-player RPG has reached the goal for a Linux version

I do enjoy my CRPGs, and have recently started playing old school tabletop Pathfinder - so I'm in! It does look very Baldurs/Pillars-ish which makes me happy.

ARK: Survival Evolved has just had a price increase, it has more than doubled

Quoting: RyzenLinuxMasterRace
Quoting: SamsaiDon't think I've ever seen as insane pricing with a video game before.

Heh welcome to Australia where we constantly pay insane pricing for digital content.

While that's true, there are places that will *usually* have them a little bit cheaper (£45-£50 ish)

Steam just keeps growing according to a presentation Valve did recently, UI update is coming

Considering how much companies overcharge prices in that region it is not that surprising at all.

And considering they claimed they don't do business in Australia.

The Witcher 3 didn't come to Linux likely as a result of the user-backlash from The Witcher 2

Quoting: GuestInstead I was roasted alive and got sent (to my work and personal email accounts, and my personal Facebook account, Steam account etc) tons of very hateful mail, telling me/my family to go and die, and such like.

Damn, that's messed up.

I wonder if there is something we could do to show we aren't all jerks. Maybe CDPR needs cookies.
