Fantastic news!
I saw that this game had a Linux icon together with an ios one for some time but I thought it was a mistake..
This is a great because the game doesn't run great on Wine and I can't wait to play it!

Keep it up!

I'm going to buy this one:

some games are probably cool, even if at that price it feels like I'm pirating them :)

I was suffering this issue since Superposition came out as I was one of the few that wasn't able to run it (I have the testing repos enabled).
There is an easy fix: install libopenssl-1.0-compat [External Link] from the AUR and then load that specific library
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0-compat/

Now I'm able to run Superposition (at 10fps lol)

ps. mind that there is a key to import, check the aur page for more info

Playstation 3 emulator 'RPCS3' has improved Linux support recently
17 Apr 2017 at 4:38 pm UTC

last time I gave it a try it compiled fine but it needed a lower LLVM then the one I had, so at the end I was able to launch the emulator and so on but not to play any game (same errors and a black screen for everyone I tried).
