Guilty as charged. Yes, I need to leave more reviews myself. Not only does it encourage the developers, but also it encourages Windows users to consider Linux, and it motivates other Linux users that a particular title is working well under Linux.

When I'm reading through reviews and spot the person has played on Linux, it certainly helps with my encouragement.

Hurray! I just spotted that it had been released for Mac, and it made me think that Subset Games could be lining up for us next.

Quoting: joaojotta

Quoting: noxAlright, the way you put it made it seem like linux users in general had to hope that new updates didn't make the game worse for them. If that's your personal experience, that's fine, but the way you said it made that statement incorrect.

So; When I said partially lies I was talking about the points where you projected your own personal experience onto other users.

But, regardless, it's okay to have different opinions and experiences, just don't project them as something everyone experienced.

Yes, it’s my experience and I mentioned it as “Linux users” but does anyone believe that I was the only one with those issues? Know what I mean?
I had issue over issue over issue.
As I mentioned I eventually ended up playing the game on Windows (which was a good gaming experience but a terrible OS experience, to be honest).

But yes, not everyone experiences something the same way.
Sadly or not, customer experience is not based on percentage: you evaluate based on YOUR experience, not someone else’s. (;

Just a sidenote:
Do you want or not my aluminum “powered by Solus” sticker? I’ve ordered it for you, bro!

Using Debian Linux 9, 10 and Mint Linux 17 - with Nvidia graphics (non-free proprietary driver from non-free repo) - I've had practically zero problems playing Rust on these systems. Also, I'm playing at 4K resolution too on my main rig (i.e. giving the system a lot of work to do).

As much as there are good and bad things happening in the world of Linux native ports, it hasn't stopped me from buying plenty of Linux games. At least 100 Linux games added onto my Steam account since 1st Jan 2018 (Now it is early August). Not including duplicate copies which I haven't installed (e.g. Humble Bundles), or my Linux games on GOG and itch.io which have also grown in number.

Mostly I buy Linux games because I intend to play them one day, on Linux. Some titles are AAA, some are very basic one-person indie studio. I don't buy Linux games which are unappealing to me (e.g. shovelware). I avoid buying Windows-only titles which are appealing to me, unless the game is particularly great and it is sufficiently discounted and maybe other appealing factors, such as it has a DRM-Free download (which I'd prefer for WINE gaming). Mostly though, if the game is Windows-only, I'd be very unlikely to pick it up at all. Sure, some of my Windows games have resulted from buying a Bundle with Linux titles that I did want.

Even if I was playing games regularly on Windows (which I am absolutely not doing), I'd still make purchase decisions based on whether the title was available on my preferred platform, Linux, as well. Also, a title without full Linux support (e.g. Arma III) is more appealing (for me to purchase) than a Windows-only title. i.e. Might work is better than Can't work.

Sounds like the sort of game I'd enjoy. Added to wishlist.

On which note, I've got a 75% off coupon for Football Manager 2018 that I'm unlikely to use. Yes, FM2018 supports Linux.

Quoting: nitroflow

Quoting: g000hMeanwhile I grabbed the previous August Monthly Bundle and got...

The Escapists 2 (early unlock)

Kona (didn't have it already)
Sudden Strike 4 (didn't have it already)

plus other non-Linux stuff (mostly unclaimed) such as Pathological Classic, The Surge, Forged Battalion.

Sudden Strike 4 is on linux too

Sorry, I should have been clearer. The first three games Esc2, Kona, SS4 *are* on Linux. I intended it to be read like that.

Interested, *but*.... more interested in a really good DayZ Linux port. (Sorry)

Currently, 76% off on GreenManGaming. Hmmm, maybe worth a punt.

Anyone finding it broken or problematic on Linux?

EDIT: And now back up to full price again :/
