Quoting: Leopard
Quoting: EhvisI actually had to uninstall this game because it went into a reinstall loop on steam where it updating->verifying->updating->.... forever.
Well,if you had free space less than 10 gb that happens. At least that is what happened to me

I've seen it too; don't remember which game for sure, but I could have sworn it was something based on Unity, not UE4.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is officially coming to Linux in 2019

Quoting: KeyrockI was not a fan of the reboot nor Rise of the Tomb Raider, mainly because they were 90% murder simulator and 10% actual raiding of tombs, and I would much rather the ratio was reversed... Now port HITMAN 2, please.
At least it's honest about being 100% murder simulator? LOL!

Quoting: ShmerlGamingOnLinux is even featured on the game page
Pretty sure that just means you clicked a GoL affiliate link at some point.

Quoting: g000hSlightly joking - My "game" is online bargain hunting (as well as picking up freebies).
Same "problem" here. :-p

Epicinium, a turn-based strategy game where nature is a finite resource is now on Kickstarter

Quoting: pageroundI wonder if kickstarter prevents them from offering pre-sales on itch or steam during their fund raising period.
I don't know if Kickstarter rules prevent it (I doubt it), but it's against their interests to have alternative funding options during the campaign, as they won't get any Kickstarter funding if they don't reach their goal.

However, "Slacker Backer" options aren't unusual after a campaign ends - I think DoubleFine Adventure started that...

The Steam for Linux limited beta was six years ago tomorrow, where's the cake?

Quoting: ScooptaI mean...that's a lot of games for anyone to own.
My Steam client says 1307 "STEAMOS + LINUX" - comes from scooping up lots of bundles, LOL! Like others have mentioned, I also have been a lot more selective lately.

Humble has a new RPG Maker bundle up, with some nice Linux stuff included

Quoting: oldrocker99Maybe it's me, but the HB page shows which systems the games run on. I don't think I've seen it before.
It's you. :) They have always listed the platforms.

Quoting: GuestThe biggest problem I think will be compatibility, sure they might introduce updates but those could essentially break things for some games... I want the games that already work with proton to CONTINUE to work.
If I understand correctly, the intention is to allow several stable versions of Proton to be used, where a game can be "pinned" to a known working version by default, while allowing the user to override it and run with the latest. So far they have just kept updating the 3.7 version (plus a newer beta), but eventually there should be 3.7, 3.xx, 3.yy, 4.zz, etc.
