I am so not sure about this, the previous one was such a mess, this seems to be better but I rather wait for a few reviews.

Steam Officially Starts Allowing Paid Mods In The Workshop, People Are Upset
25 Apr 2015 at 5:22 am UTC

Anyways back to the subject, I don't see how this is all good. Biggest issue is that mods are not made by the developer like DLC is, so when a new version of a game comes out a mod might no longer work but yet you paid for it. An even better example is how Techland even stopped all possible modding for a while. What if certain game servers requires you to have the following 20 mods installed to log on ?

I do agree that there are some brilliant mods around, and the people who made these often end up working in the industry thanks to that mod.

I know that Valve/Steam are slowly becoming like gods here and yes they did and do a lot for Linux but the other places that sell the real DRM free stuff are left out as you can be pretty sure copying/downloading a steam paid mod no longer will work.

If the 25% for modder en 75% for company is true then basicly its just another way for the company to make extra money over the back of modders without having to do or promise anything for it.

VoidExpanse Space Sandbox RPG Released For Linux, Some Thoughts
5 Apr 2015 at 5:01 am UTC

not sure how they can make the start more user friendly. It's not like windows where package A can install package B (mono in this case) without the user even knowing. root access to the package manager (apt or zypper or any other) is needed and the linux way is to tell the user and leave it at that.

Descent: Underground On Kickstarter, Will Support Linux
19 Mar 2015 at 6:12 pm UTC

they started to much with the focus on MP (as that is easier to make then a good SP experience) and are now trying to put the focus more on the SP mini campain as many people still want a good SP experience... sadly its a mini campain.

their FAQ is not really clear tbh... its a we plan to support... not we support...

sorry to vague

Republique Remastered, A Beautiful Stealth Action Game Could Come To Linux
26 Feb 2015 at 6:33 pm UTC

They did a kickstarter for this but if I remember right it was for the ipad, that did not bring them much funding at all so they added windows/mac which saved their kickstarter from failure. I hope it will come to Linux but seeing is believing.

Liam, is it just me or is not so that these days any developer who has not said they will do a Linux version will tell you "we would love to do a linux version" and then continue with "no eta <insert any reason>".

Anyways some Linux for sure:
