I think it's worth a try. I'd be interested in experimenting with it.

Quoting: GuestDo any of you GoL ladies and gentlemen play the first game on less powerful GPU's ?
I'm playing on a Radeon R9 280 / Athlon X4. The system is about 4 or 5 years old now. Everspace works great for me! Great game.

Quoting: GuestWill wait and see. But looking good. And also keeping an eye on Starmancer.
Not going to help fund things anymore. Still a bit mad at Spacebase DF9.
I'm also mad about spacebase df9.

One reason to be optimistic here: Bugbyte did a great job with Battlevoid - simple but fun.
Space Haven looks a little more complex, so I'm hoping they can keep the fun factor.

The developer of BYTEPATH has shared some sales data including how Linux sales went

If the global average of Linux players is 0.8% and only half of the games sold support Linux, then you would expect sales for the half that supports Linux to be 2* 0.8 ~= 1.6%. Maybe a little less now due to steam play.

Space shooter 'Disputed Space' arrives on Linux offering up intense 3D action

Quoting: iiari...
Windows titles via Proton or Wine that work:
Angels Fall First
Elite Dangerous
Eve Valkyrie
Executive Assault 2
Void Destroyer 1 and 2
I-War 1 and 2
Landinar Into the Void
House of the Dying Sun
Star Citizen
War Tech Fighters
XWing and XWvsTF classics
...
Is Star Citizen actually installing via wine or do we still need to install in windows and copy the files over?
Because that would make my weekend!

Also some personal favorites:
Wine
Freelancer
Homeworld

And if you're into space flight you may be into atmospheric flight, then you get to add X-Plane, flightgear, Microsoft Flight simulator, IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, Sky Rogue, ... a ton of great games!
My #1 windows-only game that hasn't made it onto GNU/linux yet is DCS World due to the starforce DRM, haven't played it about 4 years now but there are plenty of other awesome games that work on linux and are therefore deserving of my money and attention.

Quoting: PatolaThe survey is nice but I think the questions about having used Wine or Steam Play in the last month are misguided. It should focus more on frequency, like if you use daily or once a week etc.
Yes, I've used proton in the past month and I am waiting for a specific game to work.

PULSAR: Lost Colony, the starship crew sim is closing in on release

This game is highly enhanced with a few buddies. Recommend getting copies for yourself and a couple friends crew!

Precipice, a 1-2 player tense Cold War chicken strategy game is releasing with Linux support this year
4 Jan 2019 at 3:55 pm UTC

I like that it's made in Godot and that it's influenced by Twilight Struggle. The release seems very soon. Hoping for a good AI that is not omniscient. I'll be watching this one!

Humble Store are doing a little sale with some Linux titles plus LEGO The Hobbit is free

Everspace is a solid spaceship rogue-like. Runs beautifully for me.
