Hollow Knight: Godmaster is the final free content update that's now out

Quoting: Guestcouldn't even get it to launch
Too bad, you're missing out on a seriously sweet game.

I know it may not help you but I run Doom (2016) via Lutris, it installed and played flawlessly first try. Debian sid, KDE, nVidia. I used the install script from Lutris webpage. :)
(Didn't try Steam Play since Lutris worked perfectly.)

Fictorum, the action RPG with destructible environments looks like it's now on the way to Linux

Vincere posted an update yesterday, yet another dev struggling with getting Linux version working. I'm not a fan of this trend, it shouldn't be that difficult... but it seems to be quite a challenge. :(

Vincere [developer]
Having trouble getting a Linux build to work properly, trying to port to Linux is one of my many hats I'm wearing, and I wish it was going better/easier, but there's been some shader errors and other problems that I'm slowly working through as I try to patch other parts of the game as well.

Just putting a post here to say that I have a 1080Ti and my next card will not be nVidia. Also unlikely to upgrade in the near future.
Probably looking to the next-after-next AMD cards, but still keeping an eye on Intel. :)

This is right up my alley, easy instant buy when Linux version drops. :D

Isometric university management game 'UniverCity' has entered Early Access, developed on Linux

Very rough Early Access title, no sound for me and crashes on exit. Still enjoyed its laid back gameplay and I hope it doesn't go hardcore tycoon with 5 gazillion micromanagment features. :)

Quoting: GuestMeh. I could say a lot about this, but I don't know if care anymore.
I reluctantly agree. :(

Valve's digital card game 'Artifact' to release November 28th with Linux support

Quoting: monkygames<all companies> should be doing honest business and not harmful business practices such as Gambling Loot Boxes.
There, fixed that for ya. ;)
I agree with you btw. Loot boxes is poison... :dizzy:

Anyway, making easy money is difficult (oh noes the pun!) unless you understand the basic core principle of humans; people are stupid. When you throw away scruples and ethics, exploiting this fact becomes a matter or having deep enough pockets to stuff the money into.
Is it wrong to design and/or provide a desirable, potentially addictive product, then extract monetary profit from it? Problematic subject considering how humans are inherently susceptible to addiction. :S:

Some governments (NL, BE) do take issue with these pseudo-gambling-esque mannerisms and ban/regulate them.

One thing we all can do is remember the old saying "vote with your wallet".

Quoting: GuestI hear that...to deal with ARMA atm they expect you to have a steam account, bohemia account, a discord account and a kitchen sink account...so sick of all these sign ups I want to play a F'ing game not be some social media diversity king.
Amen to that. I really have no idea how many hundreds of accounts I have nowadays... it is complete madness.

Interested, but not interested enough to join yet another Discord so a small note here will suffice.

Really not into card games, still happy for Linux support!

Valve missed a golden opportunity here to troll the gaming world.
Imagine the SteamOS/Linux version being released a week earlier than the Windows version. Imagine the sadness/madness/badassness!:whistle:
Imagine that becoming the gold standard for Valve releases; Linux first. :P

Or... HalfLife 3 - the world's first Linux exclusive AAA title! /runs away screaming :woot:
