I've heard GLFW is easier to manage in multithreaded applications.

Red Comrades Save the Galaxy: Reloaded, a remaster of a 1998 game now available on Linux & SteamOS

Never saw the game before, but it looks fun. Do they have such music for soundtrack too? I'll probably get it if it will come out DRM-free.

Quoting: CandricSI see. I own Shadow Warrior. I might get this if it makes it to Linux; let's just hope the discount happens then too.
Looks like it's permanent, which is good:

Owners of Shadow Warrior (2013), who want to smash some mean machines, can instead take advantage of the whopping, permanent 85% loyalist discount!

So no need to rush buying it, we can wait for Linux version to show up :)

Quoting: GuestYou get the 85% off on GOG as well if you own the original already (on GOG). I think also if you own Shadow Warrior. Otherwise it's only 10% off.
The original was never released on GOG, so it's a premiere for GOG users. Shadow Warrior discount is correct.

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.

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:
