Feeling Angry? Hatred Looks Like It Will Come To Linux

Quoting: AryvandaarMost of the mainstream game review sites have horrible reviews, which are often coloured by politics. I don't want to read about their stupid opinion about how games are sexist. I just want to hear about the games.

Yes, I have a video for everything.

Quoting: morbiusThis is not new at all, Manhunt, Postal, Punisher, they all used this same strategy to try to paddle their crapware. GTA are violent games, but at least gameplay is good.
Sorry, but I am not going to buy that GTA is any less pandering. Or that its gameplay is that much better than Postal.

I was actually watching a video on the subject just recently:

I can not comment too much since I have not played GTA, but it would appear that Postal 2 is at the very least more aware of itself than GTA IV is.

So what I had on good authority is now a little more public:
Quoting: Toploader (RWS)GoG Windows is in line with Steam. PL will be out on GoG soon we hope (we submitted it to them a few days back). Linux will also come to GoG soon. We're also working on Galaxy support for all games.

What my source is telling me now though is that at least one person at RWS is seriously considering using Linux for his daily workflow if the UE4 Linux tools now in beta work well. ;)

Quoting: keikiOne simple fact why I'm currently rarely on my PC. It's hot outside in Germany (30-40 Celsius). And in general it's summer here.
Even here in Canada the summer heat has been cutting down on my uptime, and it has certainly slimmed down the amount of time I have spent playing games.

Quoting: EikeWhile rain may be keeping you from being outside, sun doesn't need to keep you from being inside! ;)
(And it's too hot outside anyway...)
Sure, but no one likes their computer turning into a toaster oven.

Quoting: WorMzyLooks like Arch-based distros took quite a hit last month. I wonder what caused that.
Given the significant drop in sample size I would take such shifts with a grain of salt.

Maybe there are just more Arch users on Reddit? :P

Trine Enchanted Edition Now Available On GOG For Linux

I did not even know that my Humble Bundle version was updated. :|

Well, I guess that sorts out what I am going to do once I am done with my second playthrough of Shadow Warrior at least.

New Linux Gaming Survey For July

While I can understand the need to broaden the applicability of the answers, having the (nearly) tacked on to to the pertinent answer on the GOG Galaxy question does mean it will water down the amount of actual DRM Free purists that are reported.
