I say... boycott for games enforcing a internet connection. Like Hitman.

Owlboy, is now available for Linux and it has completely won me over, it's also on sale

Owlboy is a great game. The music is great, the graphics are stunning, BUT :

- It is too short (time flies in great games) ;
- [spoiler] No final fight against Molstrom.

Mesa 17-rc1 released, it's a massive update for open source graphics

As far as I can tell, that patch was not taken into Mesa-git in time for branching? That's from the dev list, not the actual git commit list.

Edit: Even the linked release notes only mention 4.2.
That patch actually landed 3 days ago into the Mesa 17.0 branch, as you can see there [External Link].

Quoting: kilbithIt's sad that the article mentions some open-source games but not the most played one : Minetest [External Link] (still being actively developed and a new release is imminent).
As I've said before on that subject I am not a fan of it, so to me it is not a highlight.
That is your right to be not fan, but the article wasn't meant to reflect the tastes of the author I guess. Anyways, that was just a little nitpick, keep up the good work ;)

Also, so many people choosing Fallout 4, that is why LGBTQ people don't feel welcome in video gaming. I'm am disappointed and ashamed that such a homophobic game gets such a warm reception.
Video game is like a piece of art. Art can be freely provocative, like the movies.

Skyrim, definitely.

If a company would propose me to port 100 second-class titles on Linux OR Skyrim, I'd choose Skyrim.
