Transport Fever 2 announced, will release this year with Linux support

Very hyped but as @Ketil already described: Kinda wary. Will they fix their stuff this time? Performance and bugs were always a huge dealbreaker before.

Steam Play versus Linux Version, a little performance comparison and more thoughts

Cookies which way? ?

Another Steam Client Beta is out, adds the ability to force Steam Play

Be aware that the moment you enable "SteamPlay" Steam starts to redownload the whole thing for Windows (as expected) overwriting the installed Linux version. No further confirmation or question _where_ this download should go. A switch back to the native version will probably result in the same thing.

It was probably a bad idea of mine to try this on ARK, that requires already the most of my SSD, first. Now Steam is stuck in an unpacking loop after disk usage went to 100%. Time to shovel other files away to free some space *sigh*.

Quoting: TheRiddickAs for devs becoming lazy, I think its well past that if they haven't fixed things for their Linux port already. ARK being a prime example..
It's also a primal example ;) *SCNR*

Transport Fever has a fresh patch out with community-requested improvements, new game teased

Quoting: iiariHow is Transport Fever? I can't believe I missed that. That looks right up my alley. That kind of game lives and dies on its UI. Is it a solid title?
UI and performance are the most argued points. This game is highly satisfying especially due to some excellent community mods that usually make it into a dlc eventually. Transport Fever is however what Train Fever should have been in the first place and many players were really unhappy with this "overpriced dlc". If you liked Train Fever you'll like this one as well.

I really had to look it up first.



I got a feeling that I didn't miss much =)

Bearded Giant Games open their own store with a 'Linux First Initiative'

[...]they mentioned how they hate having to check over multiple forums, channels[...]
So Zapa(?) makes the customer crawl over multiple forums, channels [...] instead, while maintaining an own store in freakin WooCommerce? Just what I need. More fragmentation and exclusives especially on systems known for breaking all the time. Way to go.

Anyway, checked the titles. No thanks. That's basically a PR gag to boost some sales from a side project. It has the same impact like me saying I'm a Linux First dev (simply because I develop on Linux - harhar). None.

I'm just happy that this is (from what I understood) not the primary source of income. Economically it's suicide. Granted, for a noble cause - but suicide.
