In ten years, we've gone from celebrating a Windows game working on Linux to astonishment that a serious game studio could release a game in 2025 that doesn't work on Linux. Love it.

Then there's this review - someone who actually did get it to work on Linux, submitted a bug report and it was instantly closed with "Linux is not supported". They bravely kept comments open on that review too, and it's interesting to see that some actual snowflake on the internet has created multiple bots that post a copypasta response, slagging Linux. Pretty pathetic. I guess that's the internet today.

Anyway - crappy Linux support, crappy support in general, non-apology for inappropriate and un-needed use of AI, failed to notify Steam that AI was used (and still hasn't updated their page to note its use, naughty), and pledged to use AI in future. I'm out. G'bye 11bit. There were some fun times before you got big enough to treat customers like a number.

Here's their Publisher page if you want to block them, like I just did:

Some crackers on that list @R Daneel Olivaw, but quite a few are "Coming Soon", not necessarily this year, sadly!!

Also... that's your wishlist? I'm far looser with my Wishlist, which now has coming up on 100 entries! I have to do a quarterly clear down, cos I add so many games that don't appear to move at all!

Children of Morta is exceptional. And Brotato!

You already covered it, but I'm pretty hyped by Xenopurge (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2983410/Xenopurge/ [External Link]).

And I quite simply cannot believe that you haven't put Streets of Rogue 2 on this list!

I love the game Stray, but this does not look anything like it.

Huh. I disagree. It was immediately brought to mind when I saw the visual style and characterisation of the playable character. The opening 30 minutes of Stray are also set in a heavily forested area, but sure, very different games. I don't think I was arguing it was the same game, just a similar visual style that reminded me of a fantastic experience while playing Stray.

That's very cool looking. It reminds me of Stray, just a little. To the wishlist!

Good to see, but I have to admit, first time I've heard of lossless scaling. And as usual, looking at their screenshots on Steam, I can't tell the difference. And if I can't tell the difference on a still image, I'm definitely not going to notice in-game.

Seems to be important to some people though. Maybe it's the size of my screen or something.

This looks pretty cool. That whole Gorman scene from Aliens - "What are we supposed to use... harsh language??". I love it. There had better be a "Game Over Man" joke in there somewhere!

10 days to go! Damn.
