Never heard of Project Cars. But it's too bad developers can't keep their promise, and even worse they don't find it appropriate to apologize for false advertising.

Slime Rancher updated, hits 300K sales and I asked the developer about their Linux support

It's not really useful to measure any purchasing potential with pre-release versions of games. The audience which buys them is a small percentage of the final audience, therefore any numbers and ratios can be completely skewed and random. There is no point to break your head on analyzing why numbers fall a certain way for alpha / beta versions. After the release - that's another story.

Waiting to buy RX 480. But I won't be able to test Bioshock Infinite (thanks to 2K who refuse to release it DRM-free). Looking forward to testing other games.

Headlander, the new game from Double Fine Productions will not come to Linux

Thanks for the real example of how lock-in API taxes developers and prevents Linux release. That's exactly why Apple and MS don't want to support Vulkan. Anti-competitive crooks. They only change their tune when they are outnumbered. So Vulkan will have really hard time I feel. WebGL succeeded only because browsers which are standard compliant beat IE into the dust. Now MS plays nice and you don't hear them pushing all their ActiveX / Silverlight trash. Not sure how that can be fixed for graphics.

Quoting: hummer010Now they just need to get GOG friendly, and start releasing the Linux versions on GOG!
+1. Some of their games are released on GOG, but not all for some reason.

Life is Strange released for Linux & SteamOS, some thoughts and a port report included

I don't think Feral care about DRM. Square Enix however are indeed afflicted with it. They are part of this nasty group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Software_Association [External Link]

Looks like the open source Mesa driver has hit OpenGL 4.5 support with Intel

Intel wasn't really stuck in OpenGL 3. Many 4.x extensions were implemented quite a while ago.

Overlord and Overlord: Raising Hell released for Linux, some thoughts and a port report

Quoting: dmantioneI agree with that, but this is very similar to "all websites should be available under ipv6", which I believe should absolutely be the case anno 2016.
Not exactly. Regarding IPv6 it should sound like "all ISPs should support IPv6". I.e. those who don't are causing harm and slow down its adoption. Because they contribute to the lingering need of supporting IPv4.
