74% off... I bought it there a few days ago. It says "PC/Mac" but it's a Steam key, and there's no third party publisher in this case losing out.

DoW2 needs a "complete your bundle" option; don't wanna buy complete bundles when I already have parts of them. :S:

What Linux games are you looking forward to this year? Here's my top picks

Quoting: g000hI don't know if "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is going to make it to Linux
They were giving refunds to Linux backers, so probably not.

Quoting: g000hWolcen: Lords of Mayhem - when the Linux port comes out
They have been dodging all questions about Linux, although it's right in the title of their Kickstarter project. :(

$20 includes "APEX"; the Arma 3 bundle with that goes for $70 on Steam:

I'm not sure this is my kind of game, but I allocated the largest percentage of the funds to GOL, so that makes it worthwhile. ;)

Quoting: noxSo, can you really recommend gaming on wayland with nvidia...?
Can't vouch for it personally; like others, I figured I would stick with X11 in the short term for less gaming hassle. :whistle:

Quoting: noxNvidia however doesn't want to support xwayland
I think it's more accurate to say upstream developers didn't want to support an additional code path (EGLStreams) when they had already settled on GBM. However, latest Xorg does have EGLStreams support for XWayland included.

Quoting: noxso you'd have to only play games that only use wayland which is rare atm.
Any games using SDL have native Wayland support.

Holy cow, 30 pages of comments. Nothing like a giveaway to bring out all the lurkers. :)
I already have the game, so I won't compete.

Quoting: tailDASHeFFedora 28 will feature maintained repos by the Fedora Project for Nvidia proprietary drives and Steam!
Interesting; there have been excellent third party repos for quite some time, but semi-official ones make it even easier.
