BattlEye now say they're working with Valve to support Steam Play
10 May 2019 at 10:36 pm UTC

It could also mean that some proprietary bits from BattleEye/EAC might be added to Proton in order to make it work with games using these anti cheat systems.
Sounds far-fetched? What if it's that - or nothing... :S:

Undead Horde, the necromantic action game from 10tons now has a Linux beta

Yep, installed native now and it works correctly. Excellent performance, ultrawide support. Could not bind mouse button 4 (thumb) for some reason.

When the Reddit post appeared in the GoL Discord...

Quoting: dpantereh, gonna need a proper source tbh, not just angry ranting on reddit

and

Quoting: dpanterall we have to go on is an angry dev's comment on reddit. <shrug emoji> (or whatever that garry guy is)
maybe not panic just yet

Aaaaand then there was panic. We should know better by now, really. :(

IMHO; Liam did the right thing by reporting something that could potentially have a dramatic impact on the future of Linux gaming. The actual sources have responded to his request for clarification and we can now remove our tinfoil hats and return to sanity.

At least until the next imaginary reason for panic emerges. :dizzy:

Hmm, very strange audio on the YT video.
Can't complain about the content tho, despite the somewhat worrying news over the last few days. :S:

The update fixes graphics for me so it runs properly in full screen on the main monitor. No more messing around with the config file! ^_^

Finally bought this gem after an eternity on the ol' wishlist, and hell yes it is worth full price twice over!
If you're a long-time Zelda fan like me, grab this one. Like, immediately. :)

Retro-inspired bloody shooter 'Prodeus' fully funded and coming to Linux

Quoting: ThreeEightySixI'll avoid wishlisting it, and I recommend everyone do as well, until it's a valid Linux platform. Otherwise, the way I understand it, if you wishlist a Windows game it affects Steam's analytics. Represent!

No, this is incorrect.

Set your Steam platform preference to Linux and games will count as Linux wishlistings!

Forager has been a bit of a hit, selling 150K copies on PC and they've released an exciting roadmap

Should have gone with EGS and sold 150 million copies. I think that's how it works? :whistle:

Despite the high price, the initial batch of Valve Index headsets have sold out on pre-orders

Surprising, and awesome! :wub:

I would love to know how many units we're talking about. Knowing Valve, they'll say "100%" and expect us to be satisfied with that 'number'. :whistle:
