I am the owner of GamingOnLinux. After discovering Linux back in the days of Mandrake in 2003, I constantly came back to check on the progress of Linux until Ubuntu appeared on the scene and it helped me to really love it. You can reach me easily by emailing GamingOnLinux directly.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Claptastic Voyage looks and sounds like it will be a pretty great DLC! It will release for Linux at the same time as Windows thanks to Aspyr Media, and it now has a trailer.
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!
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is to gain another DLC that sounds awesome! In Claptastic Voyage you will enter the mind of Claptrap! They will also release a Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2.
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!
We held off on covering Evoland as their Steam release for Linux didn't work until now, but we got in touch with the developers and they said they have fixed it! Evoland is very interesting for the mechanics of unlocking new gameplay systems and graphical upgrades as you progress.
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".
I managed to get hold of the Contagion developers, and they confirmed the Linux port is still planned! We haven’t heard from them about it since June last year, so it’s good to see it hasn't been forgotten.
Rex Rocket comes from the mind of Castle Pixel, LLC. and the porting skills of Ethan Lee (flibitijibibo), and it’s available on Linux now. Inspired by the retro glory days of 8-bit games, Rex Rocket is a traditional 2D platformer brought into the 21st century.
