Oh yes, an awesome game. Too bad I'm streaming too many things atm., otherwise I'd start a LP.

Looks like STAR WARS: Rebel Assault I + II will get their DOSBox versions for Linux on Steam

Whether it's Dosbox on Linux or Dosbox in Windows, where's the difference? If the DOS-Version is available you can play it anywhere DOSbox is available. I wish GOG would just label DOS as platform and provide it at most with a sane config instead of installers and whatnot.

Crypt of the NecroDancer: AMPLIFIED grooves its way out of Early Access
15 Jul 2017 at 8:23 am UTC

AFAIR for me the issues started when I added custom music. That required some fiddling, replacing libraries, that sort of stuff. that was with the base game a while back.
I just installed the basegame and AMPLIFIED last night and streamed it for an hour without problems. Haven't tried custom music, mods, etc.

Tooth And Tail, a new RTS game from Pocketwatch Games looks awesome, confirmed for Linux

This game definitely looks interesting. It appears to do away with a lot of micromanagement, the control scheme remind me of glob2.

Game store itch seems to have a problem with people selling pirated games
13 Jul 2017 at 9:19 pm UTC

I was only barely aware that games are sold on itch.io...
So how plausible do those fake accounts look?
Do they provide updates? Support?

The Witcher 3 didn't come to Linux likely as a result of the user-backlash from The Witcher 2
4 Jul 2017 at 7:02 am UTC

Others have said it, but... Whether the investment of a Linux port pays off depends on a lot of factors. If a company tries it and gets burned, for whatever reason, then they're likely to not try it again. Windows is a different story. If most customers are using Windows (remember there are other platforms too) then you'll just have to deal with it. Not much you can do.

As for "Divinity: Original Sin": AFAIK they won't release any more patches for it on any platform and Larian no longer has any Linux developer. I guess they could hire an external company to port part 2.

As for GOG Galaxy: They were looking for Linux developers recently and still do: https://www.gog.com/work [External Link]
That indicates to me that they didn't have the people to bring Galaxy to Linux. I guess they do now. I guess it's on the way.

As for Withcer 2 on Linux: I did not follow the whole controversy . I only tried the Linux version recently and it seemed to work fine. It was apparently made for controllers, which is a bit of a shame. Man do I suck at this game with mouse and keyboard...
There's some of that controller-first thing in The Witcher 3 as well (Gwent for example), but not as bad.
