SteamVR Headset From HTC To Release Windows Only First

Quoting: enzI don't think that "Gattis smiled mischievously" is a good translation within this context, probably "Gattis smiled half-jokingly" is more accurate.

Maybe "impishly", "tricksy" or "waggishly" fit better (never heard any on these), but there's no joke in "schelmisch".

Point-And-Click Adventure Game 'The Perils of Man' Now Available On Steam For Linux

That sounds very interesting - except those technical issues. I'd be interesting in hearing when/if these are fixed. I'll subscribe to your forum posts, I guess.
What Happens When You Request A Refund On Steam?

Quoting: lvlarkI must say I have to agree with this, and not only for the short games mentioned. I can imagine that for an RPG, character creation and starting quests take more than two hours. And then, upon finally getting outdoors, the game appears to be too heavy for your system...

After two hours into Pillars of Eternity, I hated the game and might have returned it.
I lost about every fight several times with a single character - and it didn't get much better after gathering a party!
Now I'm 50 hours into it and I like it very much.
So, yes, two hours might be not enough to judge some games.
Maybe something like 20% of average completion time, but at least half an hour or such might be more fair.
But the refund policy already is quite nice as it is.

Quoting: NovenI just submitted refund requests for crappy windows games that I never played. I should get like $85 back that I can spend on linux games.

They said the games must be no older than 14 days, but... good luck!

Interesting stuff about it from developers, commented by TotalBiscuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPUToCNq-iA
One thing he mentions is that you only need one copy of a game to initiate an avalanche of illegal copies, and that it doesn't really matter if that one is refunded or not.
Looks Like Shadow Of Mordor Won't Support AMD Graphics On Linux At Release

Quoting: wojtek88Developers won't be forced to make games work on Linux distributions

They never were. Even Feral and Aspyr support a very small amount of distributions - if I remember correctly, about 1 of them, maximal 2. You cannot port to Linux if this would force you to support Debian and Arch and Gentoo and LFS.

I prefer a port on par with Windows, but not supporting all hardware/drivers, to a mediocre one.
But of course, in this case that's easily said as an Nvidia user.

Samsai, the Outlast Whistleblower DLC for 1.79 Euros...!
You cannot possibly consider this too much for a decent angst!
Modern Linux Classics Return In Humble Indie Bundle: All-Stars

The only problem this bundle might have is that many people will already have several of these games.
World of Goo, Limbo and Antichamber are very, very good games - Antichamber "absorbed" me when I played it.
I wonder if I should buy it for the well acclaimed Braid, but the graphics do not appeal to me.

But, Linuxers, we cannot let the Macies get away with paying more than us!
