The love in GOG is strong in here. Steam is fine to me.

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuy"It's a shame, but I can see Valve's real point, they don't want any actual competition for sales coming from something on their own store."

I seriously doubt it, otherwise a service like uplay wouldn't be allowed.
What's the problem? uPlay games carry uPlay installer, it's a totally distinct case.

Why Valve will allow another store in Steam?
Doesn't make any sense. Storeception

I haven't played, but look like that isn't optimized even on Windows.

Linux now has 2,000 games on Steam, big milestone

Quoting: KimyrielleNot sure what your definition of long time is, but currently popular MMOs that I could see coming to Linux with -some- goodwill of their devs are:

- Guild Wars 2
- Star Wars The Old Republic
- Star Trek Online
- Neverwinter
- Skyforge
- Black Desert
- Rift

Other than the good(?) ol' WoW, these games probably make up the largest part of the current MMORPG market. Any of these would be a great benefit to Linux.
-Star Trek Online = 2010
-SW The Old Republic = 2011
-Rift = 2012
-Guild Wars 2 = 2012
-Neverwinter = 2013
-Skyforge = 2015
-Black Desert = 2016

I didn't notice the release of Skyforge and Black Desert, maybe I live in a Poke Ball. But the others are at least 3 yrs old, of course they have longevity but your base are established, don't have much to do to increase the number of players and port to linux isn't so easy. What I mean is new games, like Black Desert, with a new base of players, of course can come to Linux.

Quoting: qchto
Quoting: fagnerln... For others like fighting, SFV is coming...
Friendly reminder: Skullgirls is already on Linux [External Link]
I own Skullgirls, its a good game but not THAT great like the others examples, like Shadow Of Mordor, GRID, CoH, Total War, XCOM, Bioshock... I mean isn't relevant as SFV.

Quoting: KimyrielleIt's not quite true that we have at least one great game per genre. MMORPG -is- a genre, and there is not a single great game to represent it on Linux. Not. One. No, Albion doesn't count even if you happen to like that game (it's not my cup of tea anyway), because it's hardly a AAA game, not even close. I wouldn't complain so much if I wouldn't spend a significant amount of my total playtime with MMOs, so this is -the- biggest reason why I still keep a Windows partition around. My biggest Linux game wish for 2016 is ONE AAA MMO. Either new or port of an existing one. I wouldn't care which one. Just one!!! Meh!
I'm not an "expert" on MMORPG, in fact the only multiplayer genre that I like is the sportive one. I remember my friends playing Priston Tale, I don't get how they enjoy, but I don't judge anyone. The problem is that genre is in decadence, at least I didn't notice any launch of AAA MMORPG in a long time, neither in Windows.

Unity3D game engine hardware statistics updated, shows Linux is very low
31 Mar 2016 at 7:02 pm UTC

I was curious about what games I have are Unity3D, so I've looked at this list and I have few of them, mostly indies that I will never play again:

The engine obviously are focused on mobile and weak in PC, the only game with extreme success was Cities Skylines.

Quoting: CimerydSo many FPS games, so many rogue-like games, not a single WoW-style MMORPG. I miss that.
Fortunately has at least an great game for each genre, action, racing, RPG, MOBA, RTS and turn based, "simulator", terror, etc. For others like fighting, SFV is coming. But you are right, "rogue-like" is an growing epidemy.
