Shadowrun: Hong Kong gets free Extended Edition update

Nice to see that a studio cares about the product and customers enough to release an update like that for free. HBS is turning into one of my favourite studios.

Batman: Arkham Knight for Linux & SteamOS cancelled

Shame to lose a high profile port, but as things look, Arkham Knight will always be a prime example of a game failed due to developer rush and bad project management. There will be other games for us.

I bought this game a while ago, but haven't really found the time to properly play it. I really need to!

Tomb Raider, the awesome 2013 version looks like it's heading to SteamOS & Linux

Awesome news. Not only because we're getting a great AAA title, but also because that would mean Square Enix moving to support Linux (which if I am not totally mistaken they didn't do so far.) SE is an absolute quality publisher, and I'd love them supporting Linux with all their games.

No, Linux is not at 1900 games on Steam, we didn't get 100 games in nine days

Quoting: KeyrockAlso, do we need to report a "milestone" every 100 now? Once you hit 1000, maybe report milestones at 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000, etc.

This.

At this time I am less interested in sheer numbers because we're doing well enough in this regard. We have reached a threshold where it's no longer really interesting if 1,000, 2,000 or 10,000 games are available. Like with Windows, the largest part of these games isn't terribly good, so this number isn't telling us much anymore. From this point on I'd be more interested in a measurement of -quality- games we're getting. Like the % of current top 50 bestselling games on Steam that have a Linux version available. I don't think such a number is readily available, though.

Garry Newman of Rust and Garry's Mod regrets supporting Linux

In the end, what he thinks or doesn't think isn't important to me. He's just one small indie dev who happened to make a reasonably successful game. There are hundreds more like him out there and more joining in on supporting Linux each day. I suppose they wouldn't do that if they wouldn't see some sort of benefit in doing it. I would be worried if Gary's company would be the only one making Linux games, be it's not. We see so much support these days that we can just go buy something else. *shrug*

Master of Orion officially confirmed for Linux & SteamOS by Wargaming

Exciting news! I lost count of the numbers I put into MoO 2. I do hope they will polish the looks a little, though. Strategy or not, but good looks aren't a crime. ;)

Steam now has over 1800 games available for SteamOS & Linux

There was a time when Loki's dozen ports were pretty much the only commercially produced games for Linux. Times have changed! I have to admit that I am so spoiled these days that I stopped looking at how many games launch for Linux, just at what quality they have and if I am interested in the genre. We can even afford to be picky these days! And that's a good thing.

Still a shame that we have 1,800 games and not -one- major MMO title. Getting one is my biggest hope for 2016. That and a Fallout 4 port.

Cities: Skylines Snowfall expansion announced, winter is coming

I hope this will include Frosty The Snowman parades.

Feral Interactive are teasing a new Linux port on their radar

Glad to see their order books still being full. I just wish Bethesda would finally notice these guys and let them port something. Anything.
