Civilization VI for Linux is no longer certain, only a possibility

It's a bit weird indeed. If it's viable on Mac, it's certainly viable on Linux. From a tech perspective anyway. And since they already have the Mac port, it should be from a commercial point of view as well. Unless the Mac port is Metal only.

Looks pretty good! Might be nice after I finish Mark of the Ninja.

Did all of that change or are you just again shilling for Feral?
The list above that were *reasons* not to own CoH2, not excuses! :P

Quoting: BeamboomWord of advice: Ignore amateur "reviews", read real reviews to make up your mind.
I don't find that those "pro" reviews have any more value than the "amateur" ones. You still need to dig trough personal opinions, genre prejudice and other stuff to get some sort of idea of what value you could give it yourself. It takes time.

It's difficult what to make of the reviews. This game has a pretty low rating, but most of the reviews on the front page are positive. Which contrasts quite a lot with "Valley", which has a very high rating but quite a few bad reviews on the front page.

If I single out the bad reviews for Homefront, they seem to have bad AI and repetitive gameplay in common. As well as it not being the best shooter for the money. It'll be interesting to hear opinions on here.

From what I heard about walking and VR, it'll probably be the latter.

'Cossacks 3' officially due on Linux in the second half of October

I used to play a lot of RTS games. Started with Dune 2, C&C, Red Alert and things like that. But that quickly reduced when uni sucked up time. This series was apparently to late and didn't get much attention. So it completely passed my by.

The Steam Hardware Survey for September 2016 shows Linux has grown some more

HL3 will come when it's viable as a Linux/SteamOS only release ;-P We have a few surveys to go.

I don't think the crap part will stop Win10 from growing. It didn't stop Windows as a whole.

A lot of interesting statistics also appear when you start filtering. Linux users appear to run the most powerful hardware on average. Pretty much half of the Mac users run on Intel integrated GPUs. That puts the Mac percentages in perspective and shows why Linux is interesting to Mac porters like Feral and Aspyr.
