3089 from Phroot has a new trailer and updates!
29 Jun 2013 at 8:36 pm UTC

This game is loads of fun!  I have played countless hours already.  With the latest update, the story progresses much better than before and leads you through it smoothly.  Also, the new towers added in are a blast and very difficult!  I wish that they wouldn't regen robots while I'm still in the tower, but they're still a blast!

A few things I hope to see are more environmental/building variety, a better more informative interface, andmore cohesive questing (right now the quests feel highly random and can have you searching for next task on the other side of the map)

The updates have been coming in fast and I can only hope they continue!  Go get this game everyone!

The launcher has crashed less for me by unchecking the "enable uTP" box in the settings menu.  Still crashes but not as quickly! :P

Steam's April hardware survey shows poor Linux statistics!

Think about it, if you are a gamer and (let's say) you probably have windows installed.  What real reason do you have to go to Linux?   Not many will be truly motivated to make the move based on ethical values or some such reason.   As others have stated, all these games and more are available already on their current platform.
Those who use Linux for their OS for the Freedom will actually be put off by the non-Free values of Steam.  On top of that, those who use (or dual-boot) to Linux for development reasons either already have a Windows box/boot for gaming or they probably don't do much gaming.  I see this crowd as the initial spike in usage that has worn off.

Honestly, as more games are added, I see Steam for Linux being viable for someone buying a brand new computer.  I think this is why there is so much interest in making a "steam box" because ultimately, you're just not going to get people to install (or instead use) linux over their current OS which already has what they need.

Same here!  I am worried though because Linux is listed as a maybe.
