I hope they share bug reports, fixes and code as well, but additionally to that, sharing their games is a good move!

Steam already has 125 million users (the same number as the inhabitants of Japan, from baby to geezer...) meaning the increase of 4 percent has to be multiplied with 25% (comparing with the time of 100 million users). Steam users explosion is eating up most of Linux users rise...

I hope many people knew that without looking into Wikipedia.
It's a classic!

Prepare A New Set Of Pants, Outlast Releases For Linux On Tuesday
2 April 2015 at 4:01 pm UTC

Oulast ran very bad on my system (quad core, GTX660, 8 GB), which is well over the recommended specs (GTX460).
I had 12 fps in the main menu(!) and about 10 in the opening scene in the car.
Today they've pushed an update - not even two days after the first bug reports about glitches and less than one day after mine- which is supposed to fix the glitches and for sure fixed my problem. I'm getting 60 fps in menu and in game now.
Hurray!

New Linux Gaming Survey For April

Quoting: GuestDid you use a Windows partition for gaming last month?
Exclusively for games, not other purposes.

Yes
No
I don't have a Windows partition

This is a really poorly framed question. (It's confusing to parse for a start.) If your primary desktop is Windows, how do you respond?

If you used it for gaming as well, yes, if not, no.

Prepare A New Set Of Pants, Outlast Releases For Linux On Tuesday

Quoting: WorMzyI'm enjoying the game so far. But if these graphical issues persist, I can't see myself getting too immersed.

Thanks for the info!
I fear a single glitch could really spoil the experience for me, and other Linux & Nvidia users are reporting the same on the Steam forum.
Too bad, I'd have some free time the next days...
I still have Among The Sleep to play, but I guess it's not equally dangerous for the pants. ;)
