Quoting: BloomberyHow can I get the same achievement?
It’s not real, just a graphic for the article.

WHAT THE GOLF? parody game is now available for Linux

That looks like it could be fun on Remote Play Together!

Quoting: aokamiI bought it last week, couldn't wait, will the purchase count towards a Linux sale ? (What about gifts ? Is there literature on how steam sort sales types ?)
I believe it goes according to the platform you’ve played it the most on during the first week, so it’s probably too late to do anything about it.

Oh boy oh boy, does Horizon: Zero Dawn run out of the box with this version? If anyone finds videos of it running on this version of Proton, I'd love to see :)

I had to use proton to gets Worms WMD to run. The native version was broken.
Works for me with this run command:
LC_ALL=C LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" %command%

Don't ask me to explain, though, found it in the Steam forums years ago.

Quoting: kuhpunktKinda worried about the future honestly... so much fragmentation, everybody wants its own thing.
Especially with all of them going for subscriptions. I’m not going to pay 20$ a month to five different services to play one game on each.

Blasphemous confirmed to release for Linux on September 21

Nice! Not my kind of gameplay, but I love what they did with the theme.

Linux gaming optimization kit 'GameMode' has a new release up

I think I had to disable it for Shadow of the Tomb Raider or the game wouldn’t run, so it hasn’t seemed very helpful so far :tongue:
Ultimately I have no idea what it does or why I would need it.

Borderlands 2 will see no further updates for Linux / macOS from Aspyr Media

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoImagine the next super AAA being six months timed SteamOS/Linux exclusive because, instead of taking the regular 30% cut, Valve takes the 10% of the game price only with that condition... 2 points less than Epic Store, by the way..
That’s just a race to the bottom—who runs out of money first? Valve can afford to keep its current cut because they have the features the users want and the audience the publishers want.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Hate to say i called it but i called it Aspyr have seemingly given up on linux that much i expected but to give up on mac as well there publisher arm must be doing well if it can let the porting side of business go.
The Mac version is already at parity with the Windows updates as far as I know. Took them a few months, but they updated that port. So it’s not much to say that they don’t plan to update it again.

About damn time they said something. Can’t believe they had to be hounded for 18 months before finally giving closure. At this point I’d rather buy a Windows-only game that’s been shown to work on Proton than trust an Aspyr port, so good job on that PR.
