Quoting: [email protected]Already own it. Can't wait to play it on Linux. Might get me into Total War.

Beware, when you get into Total War large parts of your life, or sleep, disappear :)

It looks fun, I haven't played a motocross game in ages so looking forward to this.

I've been having so much fun playing Civ 6 I had forgotten about Hitman, I'll also buy it direct from the Feral store to support the great work the're doing with their Linux ports.

Feral, if you're still reading this thread I'd be ecstatic if you're able to port Dawn of War 3 to Linux :)

Quoting: liamdaweOut of the 800 Linux-supported games I own on Steam, there really aren't that many terrible ones. I just don't make a habit of buying or testing things that have telltale signs of probably being bad.

But you're given keys too, by random indie devs on a regular basis? That would be a catastrophy to the greatness ratio on my account. :)

I guess it boils down to how we want to define "great". To me, greatness is a quite rare sight and deserved only to the ones who excels at a few core aspects of the game.
Games like Borderlands 2, Divinity Original Sin, Dying Light, Metro, Torchlight, Rocket League, Xcom (to mention but a few personal favourites)... That's games/series that deserves to be called "great" in my book.
Games that are technically working and entertaining for a while are not neccesarily great.

Or even, now that I think about it: Games that do have their technical issues can still be "great"! I guess greatness is a feeling more than a feature. :)

I agree, great is subjective feeling. I have 451 games in my Steam library and although I haven't got round to playing every one yet, I've paid something for them all and have enjoyed virtually every one I've bought. Considering that all we had was the likes of Tuxracer and minesweeper not so long ago I value having so many varied and fun games, including the indie games, I'm grateful that we have such a wide range of games now. I think the only area that is lacking now is the FPS shooter franchise games from EA, Ubisoft and Activision, and FIFA, otherwise I think what we've got is great.

Bundlestars also have it on sale for 5% less than on Steam.

I've just bought it and am downloading, I really should use the time to sleep as I know I'm not going to be getting much sleep once its downloaded.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80I think Witcher3 is highly unlikely.They announced that they're done with Witcher3 and get fully focused on Cyberpunk 2077.They're also abandoned Linux GOG client project.Which is why i buy my Linux games from Steam only.There are some people who said 'I buy my Linux games from GOG because it's drm free.'Well,they completely abandon and dislike Linux community.Why should i buy from them,instead of Valve?

I agree, Valve has really pushed Linux gaming forward in the last few years, while GOG has completely ignored Linux. It feels like I've been waiting an eternity for the GOG Linux client, and its still one of their highest rated feature requests. Therefore I don't buy any games on GOG and get them on Steam instead.

Quoting: EhvisI'm assuming that this game does not spoil Stasis. Can anybody confirm that?

Yes, I can confirm. Its a fairly short prequel to STASIS and the developers themselves have stated that they both exist separately and can be played in any order without spoiling the other.

I've played it right to the end and thought it was awesome, for free there's no reason not to download and play it!

Thats awesome! And Owlboy has just released on Linux today thanks to Ethan Lee, plus Pillars Of Eternity II has been announced with Linux support, as well as CAYNE being released for free on Linux and STASIS entering final beta testing. Great start to the year!

+1.2% for Linux ;)

Wow, is Linux really gaining market share? Except for gamers (according to the steam hardware survey) as it seems :->

I don't believe the Steam stats are truly accurate, I have 3 Linux gaming pcs with Steam on them all and have never seen a single survey in years.
