I've been boycotting Rust... for some reason. Can't remember exactly, so probably not a great boycott really. Was it one of the devs being arrogant?

Ah right - I've just googled it and it was comments that Facepunch's Garry Newman (of Garry's Mod fame) made about Linux. Lots of comments, mostly whine-noise about low sales of Garry's Mod on Linux... as if it hadn't been out for 7 years before being released on that platform. 7 years. Does Newman think Linux users just spring into existence? Or perhaps we migrate from other platforms and thanks to steamplay, already have hundreds of previous purchases from there. Unbelievable.

I would love to support Facepunch, as at least someone in that company appears to "get it", given that comment above, but honestly, I can't bring myself to give this guy my money. Thanks to his ill mannered comments, I actually now regret owning his game from when I was Windows.

And the worst part of that is, I only bought it for one, single LAN-party when there was a bit of peer pressure to buy it for this one mod everyone was wanting to play. Can't even remember its name.

I'm really surprised that The Fall is so low. It's absolutely superb and wasn't it recommended by Cheese in one of the articles here? Loved that game and bought/played it due to that recommendation.

I'm a bit surprised by Far Sky too, but something about the underwater environment puts me off. It gets good reviews, but I'm just not a fan of the underwater idea.

Yeah, the comments have been hugely out of order. I'll likely pick this up in a couple of weeks - gonna try A Valley Without Wind first.

Really looking forward to this one. Sadly, I'll be away on holiday when it releases, but it'll be insta-buy when I'm back at the end of next week. Been tracking it since forever (through GoL and their sadly neglected dev blog) and can't wait to finally play it. Great news.

Yeah, I'm torn between these two. They both look superb. I'm drawn more to InSomnia than After Reset myself, but the "Linux later" thing tears me up.

It's an improvement though, when you think about the brief history of Linux and games. Used to be, we didn't get consideration at all. Then we got "Linux as a stretch goal". Now we're getting "Linux later".

I'd like to think that over the next six months or so, this whole distinction fades away completely.

Quoting: supermonkey77My mistake. Dev says it was a misconfig and was actually downloading windows version. Can confirm and now gone from Library listings.

Dammit. Those were 10 fine minutes there...

I understand the sarcasm from Hyeron, but I'm just glad that they've acknowledged the bug and confirmed that we're being given due care. I have plenty of games to keep me busy until I try playing this again. It's just frustrating that most of the internet will have moved on from caring about this game by the time I get to play it.

Quoting: seveni want Transistor....NOW

...which... isn't on the list? Hasn't that already been Greenlit and available for everything but Linux?

Great to see Time spinner greenlit too, after our coverage in the last Funding Crowd article. I pledged to that game. Just a shame we have to wait for it now... :-)

Quoting: MayeulCI did not check all of these, but warlocks seems promising, even if I wouldn't mind better graphics, I am getting tired of all these "retro-style" games.
Reminds me some classics (like this BIG title on Gamecube, I can't remember its name).

Skies of Arcadia?
