Quoting: Quote from L4Linux2010: 30 Linux games all year.
2014: 30 Linux games greenlighted in a single day.
2015: World domination! :D

and more AAA developers are looking into kickstarter and linux compatibility from the start!:

So... they're releasing on Linux because "CryEngine supports Linux"? Since when? I was sure that CryEngine support was why Star Citizen was cagey about Linux support.

Crytek only posted jobs about Linux in July last year. Surely they're just suddenly "supporting Linux" already??

You hit the nail on the head with both monster types and exploration. It's been a while since I've felt like hitting up Minecraft knowing that the best you can hope to find in your survival maps is a temple. It just lacks adventure and surprise.

Still, I do keep a couple of servers still running for my kids to play about on and they love the creative modes, so Minecraft still has legs. A lot of legs.

Ah, gutted that it's just DLC. I've sunk over 200 hours into KF, easily the game I've played most, ever. I'd love to see a sequel, natively written for Linux from day one, instead of a bolted-on UE3 port with texture glitches like we have now.

Hopefully it's still in the works though.

I'm gutted that there was no CS:GO or Portal 2 announcements. CES wouldn't have been the place to necessarily plug them directly, but I thought that a general "Steam Machine" announcement would have coincided with those titles at least.

Sad. And a wee bit worrying.

I'm just dying to play Stanley Parable.

I watched this with interest when it was announced. Great news!

I still have an active annual subscription to Planetside 2 which dropped me nearly £70 back in February 2013. I haven't logged it to it since June. I want to, but it's Windows only, and... yeah, I haven't logged into it since June. So an alternative like Storm Front - ideal. It doesn't look like it has the same depth, which is to be expected given the resources Sony have, but I'm still up for a Resistance 2 type of game and this is looking superb.

Fingers crossed!

Personally, I prefer a bit more concrete news than "might/could" articles. I find them pretty frustrating. I want to know what I'll be playing in 1, 3 or 6 months, not what some developer would like to do, maybe, if they get time, at some point in the vague future.

However, one advantage to these articles is that if they generate enough "wow, that looks awesome" comments, then perhaps you can point the devs back to the article as evidence of interest in the port. But unless it's something huge (like Metro was), I doubt that'll actually happen.

Have an awesome 2014 everyone. Looking forward to some even finer gaming action in my all-Linux home!

Awrrabest!

You know, having spent a bit of time researching this for the Funding Crowd, and now seeing this new video, I still have no idea what this game is going to be!

Yeah, this looks pretty sweet - and we covered it as a Hidden Gem in TFC #23 [External Link] too. It got an absurdly high income for a flexible funding game - over $14k of its $20k target. Great to see it go from strength to strength!
