After a little bit of a clean up, voting is now officially open for our 2017 Linux GOTY Awards so get a move on!
It was quite a bit of working cleaning this one up, as much as we tried to make the category names and descriptions as clear as possible, we had a lot of submissions for games that released years ago.
Still, it's a bit of fun to do this each year. Fun to see what people pick and fun to let developers known Linux gamers enjoy their games, which is the point.
If you do somehow pick the wrong item to vote on, don't worry as you can reset it.
Voting will close Friday 19th of January.

Oh man, my most hyped game for next year isn't on the list! Can't wait for 'Into the Breach' by Subset Games.

Quoting: micha> Favourite Linux game porter of 2017
That category is soooooo mean. Pretty sure most love all of them! =)
I need 9 votes for that category I love them all! Such a hard decision to choose only one, but for me I'd have to say Feral again for the quality and number of ports they do each year.

Feral is the most prominent one. But I saw Aaron Melcher's name in the credits of Tacoma for linux/mac programming. Something I didn't know beforehand.

I'm sorry I haven't participated in the nomination process, but nobody nominated We Happy Few in the anticipated category??
Other than that, I really think that category is a sad sight, it demonstrates a glaring lack of major releases to Linux. There's pretty much just indie titles again, with an exception for a rather old title, Tomb Raider.
Feels almost like back to square one, right after Steam launch... Indies indies indies...

Compare the overall best title selection for 2015 to the one for 2016. IMHO, it has already happened.

Quoting: Eike1) You're mixing up the years. The previous one was for 2016, this is for 2017.Quoting: BeamboomI'm sorry I haven't participated in the nomination process, but nobody nominated We Happy Few in the anticipated category??

2) From the most anticipated 2017 releases, 4/10 released with another one confirmed this year. One of those was never going to release last year let's be honest (Star Citizen). Street Fighter V is still coming according to a recent BoilingSteam interview with TTimo.
3) This is all based on releases people actually know/really think will come. Many more games actually arrive than people expect.
I get it, we don't get a lot of AAA titles, but what's with all the negativity from people lately? Unless you had crazy wild expectations - we all knew this would take a long time to build up.

Unless you had crazy wild expectations - we all knew this would take a long time to build up.I guess people, me including, are getting anxious that we had our peak with the big titles and are now moving back straight to the dark ages. I get it, indie and AA games are certainly entertaining. But there is nearly nothing left regarding titles that you proudly present to your best friends to show how cool Linux has become if Feral decides to leave Linux completely in favor of iOS.
It feels for me currently more like tear down instead of build up. Sorry.
