We know that Unity is working towards bringing their editor over to Linux, and this little update on their official website slipped past me.

A fellow named Devin White has written up a lengthy blog post on his experience using the final iteration of the Steam Controller, and it's well worth a read.

Today I'd like to cover a game I didn't know existed only a few days back, a game out of a genre that is heavily under represented on our beloved platform, a(n old-school) sandbox MMORPG named Albion Online!

A developer working on 'X Rebirth' responded to a user claiming they are wasting their time on the Linux version, and it's a great response.

Legend Of Grimrock has sadly been unplayable for anyone on Linux with an Nvidia 900 series chip (like the 970), until now. The developers just put up a Linux beta, and it works.

A user in our IRC channel pointed out a very simple fix to help massively boost your FPS in ARK: Survival Evolved. We don't usually point out such tips, but this can't be missed.

Demands for the Linux version of a game can be sometimes quite vocal, but its actual release does not seem to bring much, if any, profit. This is not because Linux users are not willing to pay in general; rather, it means that targeting the platform is more expensive than the price that can be reasonably charged for a single copy.

I have noticed a very scary drift towards accepting wrapper based ports. Working as a developer and also a long term Linux user I can only believe that it is due to misunderstanding of the processes, restrictions, and licenses that go into porting a game.

Well that came fast. Six years ago I started tinkering with the first iteration of GamingOnLinux, and here we are still going strong.

Our very first official LEGO game is now available on Linux, but is it worth your time? I took a look with our caster Samsai.

We have been waiting with a keen eye for ARK: Survival Evolved to arrive on Linux. It’s a very popular survival game with dinosaurs that is constantly in the top-10 on Steam, so how is it?

The developer of NEON STRUCT the stealth game from Minor Key Games (Eldritch, You Have to Win the Game, Super Win the Game) has posted stats of their sales, and Linux is doing well.

It was heavily requested, and a Unity developer has written a blog post giving us a lot more insight into what’s going on.

SMACH Zero previously known as the SteamBoy has revealed the specifications it should be releasing with.

AMD has launched their new AMD Radeon™ R9 Series, and with it comes a promise of OpenGL 4.5 and future Vulkan support.

In a very surprising move Valve has added Linux & Mac versions of Dota 2 Reborn, all that in less than a week. So much for Valve Time.

Another year has gone by for The Funding Crowd, so it's time to look back at these last 12 months and see what have they brought us and what's the promise for the next year.

Planetary Annihilation is even more awesome now, and further shows Uber Entertainment is giving it great support. They have pushed out a massive new stable build recently, and it's great.
