The Witness may one day see a Linux port, for fun or for ideological purposes
5 Apr 2016 at 4:11 am UTC Likes: 3

Huh. So, Braid did poorly on Linux. I wonder why? I mean, it released so close to the Windows and OSX versions - only a year and a half later! True, it was almost two and half years after the 360 version, but it was only one year behind the PS3 version. The Linux port should have been raking in the cash!!!

I've found print & play board games on itch, too. One example: Agent Decker.

The latest Steam Hardware Survey is out
3 Apr 2016 at 6:43 am UTC

We already know these HARDWARE surveys are flawed in more ways than one, especially when it comes to the SOFTWARE statistics it reports.
So, why do we care, again?

Gorky 17, another classic Topware published title now in beta for Linux, uses Wine

Quoting: Linasyou could already run them in Wine, so it's not like they have done anything I couldn't have done myself.

Buying a Windows game and running it in Wine isn't going to count as a Linux sale, for one thing.

Xamarin announces Mono will be put under an MIT license
31 Mar 2016 at 6:13 pm UTC

Juan Linietsky has mentioned making a C# version of Godot Engine once Mono switched to the MIT license. That should make a lot of people happy, since they inexplicably hate GDScript. More options are good.

Developers of ARK: Survival Evolved facing a lawsuit from the Dungeon Defenders devs
29 Mar 2016 at 1:42 pm UTC Likes: 1

I would never sign a contract that guarantees to put me out of work in my field for 3 years... Trendy is not winning me over - pretty scummy to have that clause in the first place. But then, it's a dummy who would sign it.

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger may come to Linux and Mac depending on Windows sales
25 Mar 2016 at 4:09 pm UTC Likes: 1

I love when developers don't do a simultaneous launch, and tell us that a Linux version depends on the sales of the Windows version. And then Linux users buy it "to support a Linux version" and then - IF we ever see a Linux version released - the devs will complain that the Linux version didn't sell...

Tomb Raider will release for Linux on April 1st (Correction: release date was a glitch)
24 Mar 2016 at 6:36 pm UTC

It was one of the last games I played through on PS3, and it was great. I liked how it took inspiration from Uncharted, which took inspiration from Tomb Raider in the first place. Will definitely pick it up again.
