Tim Sweeney moans his tits off about Microsoft and Windows app store etc, but has been and still is damned slow to recognize that Linux is an alternative.

Rather pleased I stopped supporting them years ago. When they stopped caring about DRM that was one notch on the hatchet. The next notch was bugger all Linux games in bundles. The final notch on the hatchet was when I realised just how little many very very good developers were getting from them.

I buy from GOG only now. Well, mostly. I'll buy from Steam if that's my only option, but that's not very frequent. Itch.io leaves a bad taste in my mouth with the unrestricted variety of ways people package stuff.

When It Hits the Fan, a top-down shooter where four apocalyptic events happened all at once

Looks intense!

But mouse aiming in top-down and side-scrollers annoys the hell out of me. Give me the use of a d-pad style any day.

What evil overlord made those poor saps get in front of the camera and talk? One bloke looked beyond awkward, the other looked beyond tired, like he'd been up for a week ironing out bugs.

The latest Steam Hardware Survey shows Linux market-share has declined again

Eh... What a crock. They need to provide hard stats for actual concurrent users at peak and off peak, not the survey.

I hardly ever use Steam anymore, GOG is where I spend my $$ these days.

Quoting: GuestTBH I never understood why people make such a noise about 32bit libs. Why don't you just install them? I selected '32bit libs' on system install and have never been bothered by any 32bit game not running due to missing (standard) libs.
Yes, it uses some space. Much less than any medium sized game though. So what?

Because it's: clutter, unnecessary, obsolete, some distros don't support 32bit, not all 32bit libs are available for 64bit, and it's just plain bloody annoying.

Get with the times!

RUINER is reconfirmed for Linux once again

As long as they don't pull a "Stainless" out of their bottoms.

What ever happened to Carmageddon?

The situation of 'RUINER' coming to Linux is so very strange, developers now asking for requests

Quoting: ShmerlAdded GOG wishlist, for those who don't have a Steam account:

Maybe Liam can add a link to that in the article?

Fugl – Meditative bird flying game should hopefully see Linux support

I'd be quite happy just cruising in this game to take my mind off stuff. Looks relaxing.
