What do you think of all the negative Steam reviews?

In this discussion they say it will be released probably in July: Steam discussion with link to the message [External Link]

Ballistic Overkill has an opt-in beta with performance fixes (update: now out of beta)

This build contains fixes for the game freezing issue when the match ends (that makes you get no XP from matches)
I had this bug during Ballistic Monday, now it's resolved in the beta... thanks for the tip!

Parsec is another game streaming service, now with Linux support and it's blown me away

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: crt0megaIt's basically some sort of Steam In-Home Streaming without being bound to Steam and a client which even runs on a RasPi? Now that's interesting!
That's a reasonable way of putting it yes. Hopefully they will find a way to allow Linux to be a host as well as a client.
But the game is still streamed in the cloud and you have to pay for the cloud service, right?

I'd love a streaming service to my Raspi like Geoforce Experience or Steam without being bound in Windows on the host (for NVIDIA) or Steam for the client (for Steam).

Total War: SHOGUN 2 and Fall of the Samurai are heading to Linux from Feral Interactive

So the tease on the radar was for Shogun 2 and not Shadow Warrior 2?:'(

I'm not complaining, since I never experienced a Total War title and Shogun 2 can be a good start, but I was thinking about SW2 (even if the first one is sitting in my library and I haven't get a chance to play it).

Good Work BTW, keep porting!

Game engine 'Construct 3' is now in open beta, check out my example game

Are you going to try other engines, like Godot, Phaser, Love or even RPG Maker MV?

A livestream where one of the livestreamers play the game of the others (who stay in discord to answer and comment) could be fun...

Snoost, a new cloud gaming service has opened with Linux support, uses Steam's in-home streaming

A service cheap as Netflix and good as Netflix would be great, especially for us penguins (and apples) since most Windows games don't work on Linux/Mac (yet, thanks porters and Wine).

I don't think there will be much people buying these services (since most gamers have powerful hardware & Windows), they need to concentrate on the possible targets: people rich enough to buy games and the service, poor enough for not having a powerful Windows PC or Laptop (I'm not saying that all Linux or Mac players are poor, but if the service cost more than have a powerful Windows machine less people would be interested)

A proper streaming service, where we can stream games that we don't own (at a fixed price), like we do for movies on Netflix, would be more interesting,... even only with retrogaming (PERFECT emulation) may be a success!

Wednesday Madness, a few good Linux gaming deals going on

Bought too much games recently (Ballistic Overkill, the Dweller, Postal 2, Bit Blaster XL and the Freedom Humble Bundle) but I suggest you Slayaway Camp [External Link], it's 50% off --> 4,49€.

Really fun puzzle game for the horror fans, voxel enthusiasts or the aspiring killers. Give it a try.
