Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York out now for Linux PC

Quoting: slaapliedjeUnless... and this is a HUGE unless, we can finally get PC to equal Linux / Mac / Windows.

What if my PC runs OS/2? Or Haiku? Or FreeBSD?

Humble Choice's latest has Golf With Your Friends, Evoland, Lethal League Blaze plus more

Quoting: KimyrielleLast month was kinda disappointing, for almost no game supported Linux and the selection was meh overall. The only reason I got that month is because I forgot to pause my sub. This month seems to be much better!

I remembered to pause in time (they made it harder to find now!), but I was curious how it works if you don't... do you get to pick your selections at any time in the future, or is there some timeout where eventually you get nothing you haven't claimed?

ScummVM 2.2.0 is coming soon, developers need help testing

Quoting: elmapuloh, i see, just like FNA!

If I understand correctly, games have to be recompiled to use FNA. With ScummVM, you just need the game data files.

Quoting: elmapulisnt scummVM an dos emulator?

No; perhaps you are thinking of DOSBox. ScummVM is a collection of game engines, usually rewritten from scratch. Its name is derived from the LucasArts game engine SCUMM, used by The Secret of Monkey Island and various other games of that era.

So if they blow it and it releases without Linux, can you get a Steam refund if it's months later?

The animated trailer certainly is lovely, but from the screenshots it doesn't look like the actual gameplay looks like that.

OpenRCT2, the open source game engine for RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 has a major update

Wine detection seems a little odd to me; is that to solve the potential "I didn't know there was a native build" issue, or "features x,y,z are broken in Wine, so we want to warn about it for now" or something else? I would imagine most people running it in Wine would be well aware there is also a native version?
