Re China... I've totally underestimated how huge that market is. This week's top-selling game on Steam is a Chinese language only early access game. Think about that.

Feral Interactive are teasing ANOTHER new Linux port

Ultimately these teases are shooting themselves in the foot except in one situation: A day 1 (or soon after) Linux release. Then they can be as secretive as they want. Or if they reveal the game before it becomes for sale on Windows.

Quoting: GuestMakes me think of game like https://agar.io/ [External Link] or Osmos and i don't recall some ancient windows game where you started as a particle or something and you ended up like a galaxy...

You are possibly thinking of Solar / Solar 2

I'm amazed he has the energy to still care about Linux porting since he's pretty much entirely a Mac user, unless I am mistaken. Matters not though - we still getting ports. :)

An interview with the developer of DXVK, part of what makes Valve's Steam Play tick
12 Sep 2018 at 9:08 am UTC

@YoRHa-2B I have a question for you, if you are still around.

One of the games on the first whitelist is "The Last Remnant". a game which is no longer for sale on Steam. I'm guessing they stopped due to the PS4 launch and Sony being jerks. What's interesting is that the discontinuation of sale was announced before the Steam Play whitelist was declared.

Was this game chosen for whitelist on purpose because it's being discontinued?

My speculatron says this makes sense, because presumably this also means that the game will stop getting updates, and very possibly will stop working on Windows in future, but it will carry on working on Linux/Proton.
