Absolutely awesome news regarding Halo. If I got some time, I am going to do a bit of a Co-op test with a two linux client setup to see if that is stable! I have planned a LAN party on the 27th of December, so hoping that it can be my first Linux only LAN party (all with triple AAA games to boot!)

Yeah not sure why people are complaining about crashing vegas, even the problematic integrated vegas on Ryzen CPU's are rock solid now :S

You do a great job at covering gaming on Linux, which is why I have been frequenting this site for years now. Keep it up, and happy anniversary!

Horizon Chase Turbo, the excellent retro-inspired racer has a new car in the latest update

This is one of those games that you play for about 10 minutes per month. Really awesome graphics, sound and the racers handle well, but its rather "ho-hum" in my experience!

I've owned this for over a year now, and still haven't tried it yet (first world problems). Currently stuck in a hotel with my ubuntu ryzen laptop with vega graphics, so going to download and give a try!

Earthlock: Festival of Magic to get a new edition, developer has 'not given up' on Linux yet
3 Jan 2018 at 6:11 am UTC

If that would be the case, why wouldn't they tell us that as the reason why they don't work on the Linux version yet? Wouldn't adding platforms like Nintendo Switch be even more additional workload in comparison to working on a Linux version after a Windows version?

My guess is that they find the Switch easier to develop for, or/and they feel they will make more money from that. One of the guiding developing principles right now is "cost of delay". That is, if they have prioritised their work correctly, they have probably calculated that the cost of delay for the Switch is higher than Linux, therefor the priority would be Switch.

Again, just a theory, but I develop very large IT systems and that's generally the "best" prioritisation technique (others tend to be "executive says..." or "whoever screams loudest").
