Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, Chaos Rising and Retribution announced for Linux this month!

I am eager to finish those campaigns once and for all. Will my savegames be compatible? Steamcloud?

I already own them, though. Meh, I'll just buy Life is Strange full price, then, I guess :)

'SOMA' from Frictional Games sales figures released, Linux accounted for around 1.1% of sales

Got it on a humble monthly, IIRC, so it won't count as a direct sale, I am afraid :)

Quoting: tuubiMaybe GOG could do a wrapjob for us?
This sounds particularly naughty to me, I don't exactly know why ;)

On a side note, IIRC, in France, if you own the game, you are allowed to own a "private copy" of it. This is also true for other media, and is compensated by a tax on storage devices. So, ROM ownership *should* be legal there (I am not a lawyer), as well as games stripped from their DRM, as long as you own them.

Reminds me of prophunt for Gary's mod. Liam, we should definitely play this one day, it's hilarious!

I guess it is time to try this game again. It never worked for me, not even the menu IIRC.

Interview with Timothee Besset, formerly of id Software, who helped port Rocket League to Linux

Thanks Liam and TTimo! Lots of useful information in this post.

As for SteamOS, it is nice to hear that it's development is still underway, or at least that some people are still working on it ; but it has been stated multiple times that the SteamOS cabal at Valve was just around 5 people, with the majority of everyone else working on VR. So I wouldn't get my expectations too high, at least for now.

EVERSPACE, the amazing looking space shooter should be on Linux before the end of September

Quotegraphically impressive space shooter
Is that a new genre? :D

It looks nice. I however miss evochron mercenary's newtonian accuracy. I am increasingly getting tired of those "planes in space*, but with rockets and asteroids". This is nice a few times, but I would like to see some originality here.

That said, I really like those games anyway, so I will probably pick it up at some point.

*Where space is a place with some gas or whatever causes friction to those spaceships.

If you don't own Company of Heroes 2 yet, it's now 75% off on Steam, go get it

Well, as I already own it, I might buy some DLC instead. Some suggestions?

Space Pirates and Zombies 2 still planned for Linux, not due for at least another 4 months
14 September 2016 at 1:39 pm UTC

I am really interested in this one. I just hope that they make cross platform code from the beginning, since it seems that's quite a frequent issue.

Thanks for supporting Linux :)

Homefront: The Revolution is starting to show signs that the Linux port is alive and coming

This game looks really nice, I'd like to try it out :)
