Civilization: Beyond Earth Released For Linux, On Sale & You Can Win Some Keys
19 December 2014 at 9:00 am UTC

I do love Aspyr, even though their port of Civ V made my wife hog our living room gaming rig for a solid two weeks. And she never plays games.

I also love GOL. This is simply the only news source any Linux gamer needs. Tons of high quality, well written articles with actual information instead of rumours and guesswork.

The Original Strife: Veteran Edition, The Original FPS & RPG Hybrid On Steam For Linux, We Have Keys

I've definitely heard of Strife, but I always thought it was just another generic Doom clone.

Also, GamingOnLinux has pretty hair and smells kinda nice.

Gold Rush! Anniversary Adventure Game Now Available On Linux

Quoting: liamdaweI know it's old, but something about the speech in this game just makes me cringe.
If the voices are cringeworthy, it has nothing to do with the game being old. No one dared dream of voice acting in games back in 1988, so feel free to blame the developers of the remake for hashing it.

The Witcher 2 For Linux Released On GOG

QuoteThnx...unfornately Witcher 1 doesnt show any key in Steam only Wt2.

Apparently the game needs to be installed (or downloading/installing) for the key to be available.

GOG provides instructions and a form at http://thewitcher.com/backup/ to request a "replacement" key if you cannot do this for some reason. Running Linux exclusively (and refusing to install Steam on wine) was good enough and I got mine a couple of days after submitting a request. You need to grab a screenshot to prove you've actually bought the game and that your email address matches the Steam account. Just follow the instructions.

I do absolutely everything else on Linux. Why should gaming be any different?

Vote For GOG To Make Galaxy Open Source
17 July 2014 at 9:01 am UTC

Great ideas, both of them. Voted. Can't say I'm very optimistic, though.

Quoting: FutureSutureI wish the aforementioned wishlist items would get as many votes as this editorial is getting views...

You need a GOG account to vote. Sure, signing up is free, but that's often reason enough for people not to bother.
