Quoting: SeegrasMoebius: Empire Rising
and
Age of Survival
Don't offer anything to download on Linux, even tough Age of Survival has a "linux" beta you can choose. And both feature the SteamOS icon.

Umm, neither of those games have a SteamOS icon... Age of Survival doesn't even have a Mac or SteamPlay logo, so I don't know where you're getting that from.

Quoting: Guestnon-rebindable controls… Ouch.

No such thing if you own a Steam Controller. Just one of many reasons why that thing is so great.

It's a Christmas miracle!

I was going to buy GRID Autosport the day it was ported, sale or not, despite the fact that it's not really the type of car game I enjoy best (Burnout Paradise would be that, although I did put a few hours into GT5). However, real-life car troubles came up and I had to buy a new vehicle, so I decided to restrain myself and be little tighter with my cash, now that I'll have an added bi-weekly bill.

So, for a touch of patience and the same price as GRID Autosport at Linux launch, I got the following today in the sale:

* GRID Autosport
* Never Alone
* Blues and Bullets (full season)
* Super Chibi Knight
* Sunken
* Solar Shifter EX
* Postal 2: Paradise Lost

Really glad I waited. Sorry to Feral that their profits from me will be so low this time, but I gotta do what I gotta do. (And at least I didn't get it in that Humble Bundle before the Linux version even released.)

It certainly seems like more than servers, especially because of the mention of consoles. But I wouldn't get too hot and bothered about this - it's still just a job posting right now, and will be a long time before we see a result from this - if we even do.

Some games don't like using the right thumbpad as mouse

There is a special mode called Joystick Mouse (or Mouse Joystick, I forget) which was added more recently to get around issues with games that don't like standard Mouse mode alongside other gamepad controls. It works well, considering, but you need to use in-game sensitivity options to tweak it further.

Quoting: yochaigalalthough why one would wish to play it with a gamepad is a bit beyond me!

Yeah, who wants to play games with devices purposely built for playing games?! :P

@gabsd84

I have used Catalyst and the open-source drivers. Most of my games were unplayable. I won't debate this any further with you. If you choose to be blind to the reality that AMD far, far underperforms on Linux, then that's your prerogative. The truth is out there for all to see, it's just really hard if you've got your red blinders on.

And your comments against proprietary code seem largely out of place, given the nature of gaming in general. If you're saying that people can only use Linux if they stick to free and open software, then you throw out hundreds and hundreds of games - the majority of games, in fact - not to mention Steam itself, which many gamers use. If you're going to mandate open drivers, your hypocrisy begins when you run ANY non-FOSS software on your system.

And I've run Linux since 2002, exclusively, and I have MANY reasons to never touch Windows again. Open-source this or that is not high on my list of reasons. And I'll run whatever the fuck I want to run. Take your rant and shove it.
