I agree on Qt bit. But I brought GTK because VP were already using it, as you can see in the screenshot.

Quoting: hardpenguin
Quoting: ShmerlAre they already using GTK3 for the launcher? They used GTK2 for TW2.
Can you tell me, please, does that matter in a slightest way?
Yes. GTK2 must go for good, if you want to switch to Wayland and avoid using XWayland in addition. So everything should be moving in that direction.

Hrm, why exactly do you need it even to run at anything higher than 100fps? It's way more than your eye can perceive already.

Shadows of Kurgansk, a good looking single-player action and survival game now on Linux & SteamOS

I'll buy it when it will come out on GOG. Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is quite good.

Original idea of the "zone" (for those unfamiliar) comes from Roadside Picnic [External Link] by Strugatsky brothers.

Linux demo of the System Shock remake is now available on GOG

Just finished the demo and it was very impressive. Never played System Shock games before. The last room with rotating view on Saturn was beautiful (and music / feeling of the area were done well).

Humble 2K Bundle 2 has a few big Linux games for cheaps

Yeah, 2K aren't exactly known for DRM-free releases. I'm still waiting for Bioshock games to come out on GOG. Too bad, since I've heard that Bioshock Infinite is a decent game (and Linux version performs well).

I asked them about it here [External Link], but they didn't bother replying.
