Yooka-Laylee released with day-1 Linux support, some quick initial thoughts

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiT
Quoting: syxbitI kickstarted this. I originally paid for a Steam key, but then switched for a PS4 key. Mostly because Unity has a bad reputation on Linux, because I figured this sort of game was best played on a console/TV, and because I prefer my PS4 controller over my Steam controller.

What is wrong about playing with the PS4 Controller on PC with Steam and Linux? This game might have some issues with that on launch day but generally spoken that works very well. My PC is connected to two screens and to the TV which I use for Controller games.
You have to remember this Kickstarter was 2 years ago. I don't think the ps4 controller worked well with Steam Linux back then.

Tomb Raider, the excellent 2013 game is officially coming to Linux from Feral Interactive

This is great news. However, it took a really long time, and many of us already purchased it (I beat if on PS3, and then again on PS4).
Let's hope that Rise of the Tomb Raider comes out much more quickly, and they can see Linux revenue
