Steam Controller May Not Arrive Until Near The End Of The Year

Quoting: WaldirI hope they don't forget that in order for games to be playable from the couch developers also have to adapt their games to work with larger fonts.

You know, that's one thing I have a problem with too. It's all very well having high resolution graphics but I have a slight shortsightedness to my eyes so its not exactly great squinting at the screen to read peoples names, kills or something. Heres hoping valve will fix that, even with the absence of the touch screen which might have fixed it.

I guess them tking this long is about delivering a rock solid experience by hammering out bugs long before actual devices and the controller is released. the worst thing for consumers that are Linux wizards would be a buggy and unpolished experience :/
I still want a conroller ASAP!

I figured as much. Frankly, given Valve's track record with, well, everything, I am shocked that SteamOS itself is even available already. But hey, input devices are extremely important, and they want to get this right. I'm glad for that.

Loved that confirmation e-mail. This is going on my Steam wishlist as soon as it shows on the map. Any chance you can reply with a "BTW, how's that XCOM port coming?"?. :)

This controller is such a mystery, I heard so many opinions about it, then again most of them came from people who haven't actually used it.

Nice tidbit at the end:
QuoteOur source added that the completion of Valve’s Steam Controller was the final piece that would precede the availability of most Steam Machines, which indicates that Steam Machines will also begin to release at the end of the year. The source also told PC Gamer that they expect “about 500” games to be natively playable on SteamOS by the end of this year, up from the current count of 382.

Mojang Offer No Hints As To When Scrolls Will Get The Promised Linux Release

Sadly I can't find where they told me that, but it was on twitter they said the launcher wasn't currently on Linux.

A launcher? That's pathetic!
It's interesting to note that Minecraft's Linux launcher worked from day one/shortly after as far as I can remember. Honestly expected better of Mojang, I remember Notch being quite the tux enthusiast when valve made their famous 'catastrophe' statement.

Oh, that's nice. I've been wondering for a while if it would be ported to Linux, I thought it would be Windows only.

Rimworld Sci Fi Colony Sim Alpha 3 Available, Game-play Video Included

Wow! This looks and sounds very interesting. I’m considering picking the game up. I really like the setting and design; and beautiful music too.

By the way, listening to the music, which in places sounds from an old Western film, I wish someone would make a similar game with a Western theme. That would be awesome!

Finally, since this is my first time posting on Gaming on Linux, great website! Came across some very interesting news here lately and have meanwhile bookmarked it.

/Puts on old man hat/ I bought the original Wasteland when I was a kid, it was fantastic, there was nothing and I mean nothing like it at the time. It makes me happy that this is being designed to be Wasteland 2 and not Fallout 4.

GOL is a site that I check daily for news (It is constantly updated!). As a console gamer who is now currently only placing games on PC (Linux) I use your sight to see what my options are. Keep up the good work!

Are More AAA Games Waiting For Steam Machines?
By , 14 April 2014 at 5:47 am UTC

Steam machines will succeed for the sole reason that they are linux and wide open. You know day one someone will integrate xbmc into it, hell you can run xbmc and steam in big picture mode right now which is basically the exact same thing.
