Counter Strike: Source 75% off on Steam
By shaunix, 8 February 2013 at 1:30 am UTC
CS: S is working great on Linux x64. Worth the $5.00!

This "PC" labeling of Windows was a genius marketing move by Apple with their "PC vs. Mac" campaign. It basically preemptively kept Linux from the radar of common folk by re-labeling Windows to "PC". Now the Linux community needs to re-train people to understand that a PC doesn't equal Windows. So what we're seeing here on Steam just follows the trail that Apple set.

Yep still doesn't work. Although, unlike Desura, Steam will likely get this resolved fairly quickly.

This is good to see on the front page. It's not as exciting as all of the promoted games (big scrolling banner across the top) being available for Linux, Mac OS and Windows. Equal footing ftw :D

I agree with Hamish, why can't they just put "Featured Win Games" there. -_- A Linux PC is still a PC

Quoting: liamdaweNice was waiting for it to come down in price to give me a fix before GO is eventually ported.
Any time I see a game I want on Steam hit 75% off, I buy it. There are rarely better deals. Indeed, I purchased Portal and Portal 2 in the hope of a future Linux port in such a sale :-)

Still says "FEATURED PC GAMES" for the Windows listings though... *sigh*.

I had previously owned it from Humble Bundle, I am also on 64bit and can confirm, I also have same error of missing executable.

I got Anomaly from a Humble Android Bundle (though I ended up playing it more on the desktop than on my mobile).  I pledged Spectraball on Kickstarter, and although the campaign failed to fund, the team found external funding some other way.  It's a pretty fun looking "Marble Madness" style of game... I'll have to take a closer look.

Thanks, Liam!
Wadjet Eye Games Running A Closed Linux Beta

Great!  I can think of no better way to show them that we're a market worth serving than to swamp them with super high-quality beta testers.  Thanks friends, for coming through there!

Linux is going to need all sorts to games, and multiple distribution methods, to continue to succeed the way it is.  I love what these guys at Wadjet Eye are doing, and how they respect their customers (DRM-free, cross-platform, and utilizing an open-source game engine).  They even invest engineering time and money back into the engine itself!

Ya I purchased and downloaded Anamoly Warzone Earth, but it is missing the x64 executable currently so I was unable to run it. I will check again tonight after work. Looks like an addictive game and the price was right!

Looks interesting. :)

They replyed within minutes, really impressed.

"Thank you so much for your interest! We've had a much bigger response than we anticipated from the Linux community (seriously, you guys are awesome), so we're all set for people to test this particular build."

I've been interested in their games for a while now, but no native version. Looking forward to it! :D

Zach, I couldn't install it. No beta and not available for my platform.

@Beemer..yeah all the videos show with the same cover for the preview for this one. But they aren't the same.

It's up! Anyone should be able to install this in Steam now, though it does not show up yet as supported in the store. Installed through Steam about an hour ago and it works like a charm!
Counter Strike Source has been added to the CDR and apparently installable too
By shaunix, 7 February 2013 at 3:50 am UTC
I'm gonna wait and see if it goes on sale. $20 feels steep for an older game... maybe I'm just cheap haha..

I haven't had a chance to try this yet... Although I have purchased it.

@Beemer, that's the thumbnail for TotalBiscuits "WTF IS..." series. He's covered pretty much all the bundles I believe, so it's not surprising that they've tweeted his videos.

If you flick through the rest of the media they've tweeted, you'll see quite a few more of TB's videos.

For reference, the shows channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/show/wtfis
Awesomenauts on it's way for Linux?
By Beemer, 7 February 2013 at 1:43 am UTC
Ok - I don't know if i've got some kind of screwy caching going on or something, but looking at Humble's Twitter page at https://twitter.com/humble, along the left side there's some media thumbnails and three of them show the "WTF IS..." picture of the Awesomenauts video with the most of the words "Humble Indie Bundle" as part of the pic.

I saw this in Firefox and double-checked in Chromium and I see it there too.  Is anyone else seeing it or do I need to do some cache-cleaning?

I just emailed and got a response within 15 minutes.  I was told they have enough testers for this build of the game and that I would be put on the list for the next beta build.  It will be great to have their games native on Linux.

New tweet about the Linux beta...

QuoteDave Gilbert ‏@WadjetEyeGames:
Wow. Linux beta testers are the most detailed report-givers ever.

Go Linux!  :D

Let's see if they are able to finish the port before Valve does with Dota. Awesomenauts is one of the few MOBAs I enjoyed. I am looking forward to this :)
