Quoting: toorThis game has the best community I have ever seen. People are helpful and mature
But is into roleplaying or into mindless hack-n-slash / grinding? For instance WoW is the later.
When I played it was quite roleplay heavy with events frequently hosted by players. There were also a number of high level players just hanging around the starter area to help new players out.

There is quite a bit of grinding though, but not of the WoW-like variety (ie, repeating dungeon runs/raids to get gear drops etc.). It's more because the economy is player-managed, all gear is crafted, materials have to be gathered etc. It's grinding, but of the more leisurely variety.

Hmmm, candidates:

- Dirt Rally
- Homefront: The Revolution (America, patriotism, et al)

I always though "welp" was an exclaimed version of something akin to "oh dear". See also: yoink, gah, urk, eek, etc. :)
Heavy Gear Assault heading to Linux

Hey nice. Heavy Gear 2 (Loki port) was the first ever game I bought on Linux. :)

Hope the single player on this will be decent though.

Quoting: NyamiouIt doesn't make any sense now that they would not accept it, and the reason do not tell us clearly if they would accept it in the future or not.
There is another possibility - that the reason they stated for not accepting it is actually not bullshit at all. - ?

Quoting: SketchStickJust a friendly reminder that this was an april fools joke...
April 1, perhaps tongue in cheek, but not merely a joke - they would have gone through with it.
Enemy Starfighter, the seriously cool looking space shooter is no longer coming to Linux

Quoting: KeyrockIt's almost never as simple as "click Export to Linux". This is probably another middleware issue.
Pretty sure you are right re middleware. I have been pooping out Unity games for a while now and have not had any issues with platform compatibility. (yet) No middleware and hardly using any content from their asset store.

In other news - I recently decided to give X-Rebirth another go. I have had it since launch but it was broken as hell, and a long way from what X3 et al were. Installed the Home of Light DLC, started a new game and ... it's actually pretty decent now! I've built stations amassed a small trading fleet, lost half of said fleet, found some wacky-ass shit while exploring, went pirate-hunting.... even came across some Khaak-suckers in deep space.
The Itch app is aiming to get on Steam through Greenlight, lots of free press for them

I want this to succeed. Steam Machines have been touted as "open" consoles, and allowing this would drive home that fact.
Get your running shoes ready as NO THING, a minimalistic surreal action game is now on Linux
