Sales Statistics From Developers Part 3

Flashout 2 <3 .. what a funny game (and the first racing game I could buy .. or sort of racing)! Reminds me on old gaming machines :D. I enjoy it a lot and if there was any use for it, I'd buy it 3 more times!
I also like Spy Chameleon pretty well.

Didn't buy the others. Maybe there is a pattern to what linux gamers buy ;).

Rust seems very interesting, had my finger above the buy button a few times. Though, I never liked survival games and have a huge backlog on games...

Anyway, I'll have to get a controller soon, I wanted to wait for the Steam one, but I'll probably get one for the time to it.

@DerRidda very interesting, thought that one was dead a long time ago... didn't know they were restarting in Unity.

Hmh, not my favoured setting, though, I may buy and try it when it's released. Still undecided yet, I rather like to play on sides of Vampires (Bloddlines - that one I'd port personally if I could get the code).

Get CD Projekt RED To Answer Questions About The Witcher 3 For Linux

I am more the guy for the surprise moment :D. Otherwhise I'll keep asking myself "Will it be soon?". The "maybe, maybe not" keeps me more relaxed.

By the way, since they noted that the new engine is "designed to support cross platform development better" I'd very much expect it to come at some point, and even natively (they need to go for OpenGL anyway in MacOS, and porting to Linux is grapically not too much challange after you did it for MacOS, and Valve is working closely with the devs to sort out troubles, according to the Aspire-Interview we read).

Get CD Projekt RED To Answer Questions About The Witcher 3 For Linux

They still didn't say it's not coming, they just didn't announce it. The image actually suggests it will come later.

I'd guess Witcher 3 on a "real" Steam Machine launch.

Interview With Aspyr Media About Civilization V & Linux Gaming
23 July 2014 at 4:57 pm UTC

Good to hear they've more ports to come. CivV is really an amazing game (I bought it on Linux, never played it before), and the implementation seems rock solid (have not yet seen bugs, crashes or similar).

If you're playing as Women char .. that game gets a lot harder to master.

Vote For GOG To Make Galaxy Open Source

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: DrMcCoyYeah, there's no chance in hell this will ever happen.

I dare you to prove me wrong, GOG.
Why can't it happen? I don't really see any downsides for GOG.

There are governance implications, depending on the way and licensing.
