I have been in touch with the developers of LEGO Minifigures Online, and they have confirmed even with the SteamDB hints that the game is not coming to Linux.

Now that Bioshock Infinite has been released for Linux, and we have taken a little time with it, we can release some thought patterns on it.

It's no secret that a lot of people are impatiently waiting for the promised Linux port of Divinity: Original Sin, but we have a little more insight as to why now.

The Linux community is one full of passion. From the outside it may seem strange why a small percentage of people around the world care so much about an operating system, after all it's merely a tool or set of tools used to complete certain tasks.

Feral Interactive just sent out word that not only are they porting Shadow of Mordor to Linux, but they are the mean porting machine behind the recent announcements of Batman: Arkham Knight, GRID Autosport and Company of Heroes 2.

In a sad turn of events, but not exactly surprising, the President of Blizzard responded to the petition calling for Blizzard to support Linux, the answer is obvious, but what's sad is the response from the petition creator.

That's a bloody huge milestone. We all know quality over quantity, but with 1000+ games now on Steam for Linux, there has to be something for everyone!

Another new game, and another new set of issues for Linux gamers to deal with! We are the lucky bunch aren't we!

Hooray for Techland! Dying Light is finally playable on Linux, so you can join us in having some cake. It's not perfect, but far far better! (UPDATED)

Cities: Skylines is our answer to not having Sim City on Linux, and it’s time for us to take a look at this new city building sim.

After the influx of news recently you will already know that Shadow of Mordor is heading to Linux thanks to Feral Interactive, and the game is so good it has managed to win the GDC Game of the Year award!

Here's the Steam Hardware survey results for February 2015 with one interesting difference from the past surveys.

I have been hesitant to cover things like petitions and forum posts in the past, especially for Blizzard, but now seems like the best time to really get them to listen to us.

Nvidia has now put up the PhysX SDK on github for everyone to sink their teeth into, like with Unreal Engine it does require you agree to their EULA though, so it's not "free software".

More news on Source 2 has been circling around, and the great news is that it will be completely free to use, but it does have one little stipulation.

Valve have been extremely busy, and we are already seeing some fruits of their work. They have written a Vulkan driver for an Intel GPU, showed Source 2 with Dota 2 on it, and they will open source the driver.

It seems pretty standard across stores that they take a bit fat cut of developers revenue, but Itch.io is aiming to change this.

With GDC being in full swing we’ve had a chance to take a look at 14 different models of Steam Machine thanks to Ars Technica, and the findings are interesting.

Just a friendly note that Uber Entertainment are wanting feedback on Linux issues in Planetary Annihilation, as they want to make it a great experience.

Valve has announced a Steam sale simply titled ”STEAMOS SALE” with interesting games that are already available and games that they claim are heading over to the platform. The list seems to include some quite big titles too!
