Nice talk! :D I enjoy Hex's videos a lot and sudoshred seems like a cool gent as well.

On the topic of retro games: the only Mega Drive games that I grew to love were Sonic (1-3&K and Sonic CD on the Mega CD, which is probably the best Sonic game ever, other than Generations) and Streets of Rage (all three of them were great games); I've been meaning to check out Phantasy Star and Shining Force. I honestly prefer the SNES/Super Famicom, but here's a really obscure opinion: I think Sega's best console was the Saturn. The Dreamcast was also really awesome.

This is a game I totally wasn't expecting to come to GNU/Linux and SteamOS. Will be a definite buy when the game is formally released!

Quoting: KeyrockI would insta-buy this as I am a big fan of F-Zero and Wipeout.

This. I love Wipeout! ^_^

Do you all wanna know what I'd find REALLY mindblowing? Not if Rockstar released GTA V on GNU/Linux, but if they saw what the guys who are working on OpenRW (free/libre, cross-platform rewrite of the engine that powers III, Vice City, and San Andreas) were doing, decided that they should get involved, added funding to the project, and started heavily endorsing developers to work on the games, getting them to add patches, make the games look good on high resolutions, include a native multiplayer client, and even start porting their older games to various platforms (BSD, GNU/Linux, maybe AmigaOS!). That would never happen AND that's why it'd completely blow my mind.

Also: I'm amazed by how many responses this article has attained! Woo!

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: reaVerExcept the internet was designed for precisely that. This is not a dating site and most AAA games are not dating sims, we really do not care what gender/sexuality/blablabla the person on the other side of the wire has. Heck, we don't even care what the person looks like.

The person in question has no right to berate people(/gamers/LGBTQ gamers) over their choice of games (and he just did) just because the game somehow managed to offend this delicate snowflake. I don't care whether it's fallout, gta or even rapelay; because what people play is none of his damn business.

Yes, you can be someone else or somewhat propertyless on the internet - but you must not be forced to be, it's your choice, not other people's choice. (And no, the internet was not designed for that (obviously).)

As you can see (on page page 20 in this admitedly long thread) I critized him for what he said as well. But this doesn't make better what you said: "There is no place for LGBTQ people in gaming." There must be a place for all people in gaming, and nobody must be forced to take off his identity at the entrance.

Back to Fallout 4, I still don't know what's homophobic about it, but if it really is, that's something people must be allowed to criticize.

Thank you so much for making this comment. Seeing you say this makes me so happy to be a part of this community (I'm also LGBTQ+, but I don't expect GoL to be an outlet for expressing how I feel--I just believe this place is great and I love talking about GNU/Linux). While I dislike Fallout 4 for reasons unrelated to why tmtvl dislikes the game, I must say that I was disappointed to see how the discussion turned into something berating gender politics instead of actually doing research. Rather than making it seem like he's crying alligator tears (or saying we're "triggered"), it'd be nice to be mature and to just politely tell him why you disagree with his assertion.

Overwatch! It would also be nice to see a native port of Paladins end up on Steam, but I own a physical copy of OW, so..

Edit: I noticed that someone also mentioned Roblox. I'd rather see an open source/libre reimplementation of Roblox's engine from 2007/2008, maybe even 2006. The game has gone downhill a lot in the last 2 years, the devs have stated (for years, actually) how easy it would be to port the game over to Linux (but they don't), and the community is really toxic nowadays.

Looks fun! I'd love to buy it and try it out myself, but I don't really have any extra money to spend right now. Maybe when there's a sale, though.

To be honest, after moving from Windows to Linux, I did give up on some childhood games that I was still playing, like Roblox (I've since quit, but I'd love to find another game that's not focused on ripping off the consumer, has a foundation built by its community and devs alike, etc.). This game seems like it will be able to fill that gap, especially since the community of Roblox and quality of games there has gone way downhill in recent years.

I'm voting for Undertale and... that's it. I played some great games this year, but that's the only Linux port released in 2016 that I've actually played through.

Grim Fandango, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Psychonauts, and Dreaming Sarah were all good-great titles that I got to play on Linux this year, but they were not ported in 2016. :x

I've been using the Steam client to find Linux games on the main store page, and I've only seen Linux only games so far. The only issue I've found is when I use the Discovery Queue; I did come across only one game that didn't have Linux support.
