Distrust, inspired by John Carpenter's "The Thing" could see Linux support

I could have sworn I had asked them about a Linux version before and gotten told no but I could easily be mistaken and am glad to be wrong. They already sent me a Steam key (not sure why, think I subscrimbed to theri email updates or something) so bring on the Linux version !

Developers of We Happy Few have started working on the Linux version

Quoting: PublicNuisanceThe price has almost doubled and is still early access. It cost just a few dollars less than a AAA game at full price. I could understand if it was fully released but it's not. I'm still interested in it but there's not enough drugs in the world I could be on that would make me think an Early Access game is worth full AAA price.

I suppose don't buy it then until release? It's not like we need it anyway - Linux version is not planned for in-development releases. And the currently raised price was caused by their deal with physical retail who demanded that. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

I don't plan to buy it until it's fully released but that has nothing to do with the comment at hand. You asked how the price was hiked and I showed you how.

Quoting: SolitaryToo bad this kickstarted indie title became another "AAA" game after deal with Gearbox, now with pre-order bonuses, season passes and hiked up price.

How is their price hiked exactly? Their previous price was in-development one, so naturally release price will be higher (since they released their last in development version before the final release if I understand correctly). If you didn't expect the higher price in the end, you just had incorrect expectations. If you just consider their final price to be unfairly high - that's a different matter, and more a matter of opinion already.

For the reference, you can have backed the game during crowdfunding to get the best price for it.

I would as well. Luckily there is a entry on the GOG wishlist for it. Vote away any who also want a GOG version.

Not a big F1 guy but with Feral I'll try to pick it up at half off at some point. They have got zero compensation from me for so many games I do want such as Mad Max because I already owned it from my Windows days that they earned at least that much from me.

The developers of 'Darkwood' have put up a free torrent if you can't afford to buy it

I was already going to pickup a copy from GOG at some point soon but this just gives me an extra reason to. Great move by the developer.

There's now a Linux version of ASTROKILL on Steam as promised

It doesn't look like a game I would usually play but at $10.99 CAD it is cheap enough that I'll give them some money soon for supporting Linux.

Open-world first-person shooter "The Signal From Tölva" has a Linux version in progress

I've had this on my wishlist since I heard of it. This is why I don't get stressed when games don't come to Linux right away and why I don't buy Windows games for a while. If I keep playing my backlog the games will continue to come to me.

Looks like there's a DRM free version going to be on the Humble Store as well.
