I already own Civ5, so I'm not participating.
If people start sharing, won't that attract non-linux people as well?

I own one computer with an AMD GPU for testing purposes, it's definitely improved in 2014, and hopefully we'll see even more improvements in the future.
I prefer my Nvidia rig by far, but I've been able to run all games I've tried on it so far (mind you, I'm at uni with my Nvidia, so I haven't been able to test any games that came out in the last two months)

I've played more than 4 hours. Not a single issue. One funny bug though: when I type 't' (chat) it automatically inputs a '-' in the chat. Just funny, doesn't actually change/do anything. Runs at 80fps with some falls to 60 when there is a lot going on (all settings on and ultra high except amient occlusion). Ambient occlusion makes it drop to 30fps for me. Not sure if that's linux or just my graphics card.
Played a few games with some of the devs today, they are really nice people. And they even finished the linux version in time!!! They weren't sure whether they would get there in time, but they did. So big applause for them!
Of all the (Linux ported) games I've played so far IM and GoI are my favs: the devs are friendly and helpful and I've had no issues with the games.
Compare that to 7DtD ... still no linux, unfriendly, unhelpful devs. I like their game idea. But seeing how they react I'm sorry I ever gave them my money. They remind me of Phil Fish, except I liked him. He clearly couldn't handle criticism very well, and said some awful things, but as someone who can't handle social situations very will I kinda understood him. The 7DtD team is exactly what it sounds like: not just one person. They went overboard IMHO.

Back on topic.
I've never played a game with such dynamic maps (floors that move, day/night cycles, doors that open/close, lights that can be destroyed). Their maps are beautiful! The second gun made it a lot more fun IMO. It's rather sorry that there's only one gamemode that runs on the servers at the moment (capture points, with a twist). They previously also had capture zones and TDM. I'm sure we'll be seeing those back in the future.
Their updates are regular and although they may not add that much (at least not the things people are asking for - grenades, moar guns, night vision, etc) when they add new things, these things are finished. Their updates are of good quality.
I bought the spearhead edition twice (that's how much I love them). I really suggest you buy the game (spearhead doesn't change gameplay, it's just a way to give the devs appreciation) and I hope I'll see you online some time.
BTW their next (non-patch) update will be BIG. Really curious as to what's in it...

One of my favourite upcoming games out there. Been playing through wine, and it works well enough. Looking forward to the native version! I hope it'll be out during the summer.

GOL is one of the only sites where I deactivated my AB. The fact that you said "Don't Hate You, But Please Don't Do It" is very nice! More people/websites should have this stance!
