Hard Reset Redux is showing signs that it is coming to Linux & SteamOS

Quoting: CandricSIt seems like they made it 85% off instead of 10% on Steam while on GOG it's 10% off.

It's 85% off on GOG for me at least:



I think discount depends on whether you also have Shadow Warrior in your account.

Anyway, I'm not going to buy it until Linux version will come out.

Yes, it's using the same engine I suppose.

Good, I'll wait for the Linux version to show up. It's released on GOG by the way, and so far nothing is said about Linux there: https://www.gog.com/game/hard_reset_redux [External Link]

Life Is Strange is coming to Linux & SteamOS by Feral Interactive

Quoting: ShmerlA pity it's Square Enix, so no DRM-free release is to be expected. The game sounds interesting, but it's another in the list I'll skip.
It's looking like all of Feral's games will be Steam games, you're missing out on a lot.
Possible, but I'm not sure if Feral are on purpose actively looking to work only on DRMed games, or it's just a coincidence? In general, the vast majority of Japanese publishers are DRM inclined, even worse than US or European ones.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceCan the Steam controller be used outside of Steam and without using Big Picture Mode ?
There are a few different projects which are working on this.

Most promising examples:

GOG Connect announced, add certain Steam games to GOG for a limited time

Quoting: TheBardGOG surely have a lot of potential but as of today, linux and multi-player users on GOG are second-zone citizens.
Blame developers for missing Linux versions on GOG, especially ones like AOW III. They literally said they don't want to bother updating another version, so it's them who treat GOG users as second class citizens.

Do they have stats for Steam Machines sales too? Would be interesting to see how they are doing. Though I don't expect any major spikes until Vulkan will take hold.

Also, not sure why they didn't include it, but if you have Witcher 1 or Witcher 2 on Steam, you can get them on GOG any time using this page:

Quoting: wvstolzingAlso, there's Witcher 1, but no Witcher 2 or 3? That's a bit odd.
See above for the Witcher 2. TW3 is odd, yes.

Steam's latest Hardware Survey is out, shows Linux at 0.84%

I think people should stop paying attention to this survey. It's not representative of the whole picture even for Steam itself.
