Looks like both A Hat in Time and Gravel are coming to Linux, ports from Virtual Programming

I heard that was fixed pretty quickly - a day after release. Is it still an issue??

I don't own it, so this is second hand, but it sounds like lot's of people get better performance out of WINE + DXVK vs. the VP "port".

That doesn't really make it unplayable though - the unplayable part was fixed pretty quick.

I have a Hat in Time from Humble, but I haven't played it yet. I was considering trying it with Steamplay, now I'll hold of until VP releases their port.

MXGP3 - The Official Motocross Videogame, some thoughts on the Linux version

Interesting that it's a Virtual Programming / eON port, when it's using UE4. You'd think native would be easier than wrapped in that case?

[EDIT]I love motocross games, but I'm going to pass on this one for now. With the performance issues everyone is talking about, I can't imagine it will run well on my Raven Ridge laptop. The MX vs ATV series run perfectly with proton, so I'll stick with those for now.

I love me some motocross, but $18CDN is still a pretty big ask, especially when performance probably won't be great on my Raven Ridge laptop.

Still, tempted. Very tempted...

Stoic have now removed the Linux version of The Banner Saga, in favour of Steam Play

Quoting: GuestHowever, it doesn't change my mind about incompetency of Stoic. Choosing Adobe AIR for crossplatform game in 2013, delaying the release for years, finally outsourcing port to some no-name-porter still show how they were "serious" about Linux support from the very beginning. All this drama and withdrawal of native version could be avoided if they knew how to properly do crossplatform development and treated all of their customers equally. So, I won't buy TBS3 (I already have first 2 games from my Windows days) or any other game by Stoic even if it gets whitelisted - their complete incompetence in software development has turned me away.

This. I walked away from Stoic along time ago.

I'm with Shmerl on this one. Why would any developer bother to promise updates, but remove the game for sale?? There going to continue with the hard work (updates), and miss out on any possible sales.

It will be very, very interesting to see what happens at GOG when these promised updates are released.

As a guy who owns the game on GOG, I'm at least a little bit concerned.

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS continues to improve with another recent patch

Quoting: liamdaweI've no doubt they will work towards that, especially now they've begun improving all aspects of it.
I sure do hope... But they've had years to do it already...

Yes, and no.

Yes, because Uber had years to do it and didn't. No, because it is now being supported by a different team, who've only taken over recently.

A new Humble Monthly is out and it’s not bad with Cities: Skylines (and DLC) plus MGSV

Certainly the least compelling initial games in awhile. Especially since I already own Cities + After Dark.

Arcen are pretty much always an insta-buy for me.

Quoting: GuestWell, to be completely fair, not all microsoft published games are windows or xbox exclusive. This game was surprisingly nice, despite sloppy voice acting https://store.steampowered.com/app/236090/

There was like... one more game that also had linux support, I think Microsoft as a game publisher is probably hands off enough to let devs mostly do whatever the hell they want to do and not be anal about shit like which platforms it supports. If linux gamers want to buy games published by microsoft then hey, more moneys. It's simple logic.

I always found it a bit weird, firing up Dust natively on Linux, and seeing the Microsoft logo.
