The beautiful space combat game 'EVERSPACE' finally lands on Linux in an unofficial form
9 September 2017 at 8:36 am UTC

Just bought on Humble Store. I suppose the "1,000 copies" shouldn't be much of an issue.

F1 2017 could be on the way to Linux, as Feral Interactive want to see demand for it

I'm interested. I already found F1 2015 quite entertaining and if F1 2017 improves on that I'm definitely tempted to throw some money at Feral.

What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think?

- War Thunder: been playing now for years - still love it
- Full Throttle Remastered: brought back great memories
- Steamworld Heist: Came with a Humble Bundle and was a very pleasant surprise

Got it from the Humble Store. Never played it in the old days - really looking forward to do so now.

A nice demonstration what punctuation could do for a posting.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80for f*ck sake enough of this bad pixel shite at least make the games look like a 16 bit game instead of mess of blocks.(owlboy is retro pixels done right)
Yeah, why didn't they simply make it as pretty as Owlboy? It's just art, right? It's not like it requires real talent, skill, effort or time. I'm sure the developer appreciates and will take heed of your super constructive criticism. [/snark]

Sorry edgelord but i am sick and tired of pixel crap games there are so many and i am so over them. Yes creating a game takes talent, but i hope that creativity would lead them to look at just how many pixel barf games (broforce is a fun game but looks terrible) are available and then decide on a different art style.

Well, AFAIK you are not obliged to buy "this bad pixel shite". But reading the devblog it seems as if it is just one person working on this game. Cut him some slack - he might be just fond of "pixel barf games".

The Witcher 3 didn't come to Linux likely as a result of the user-backlash from The Witcher 2

Quoting: AlveKattWow... Some of the commenters here actually say they deserved the backlash. Being a game dev must suck. Getting second thoughts about my dream to make my own game...

Well, you could develop open source applications and get hate mails, because you don't want to fix this or that bug or are not interested in this or that feature or don't provide builds for this or that distribution.

Quoting: NyamiouThe idea that a company would judge an entire community over the reaction of a few individuals no matter how loud they can be is completely unacceptable, if CDRP are really like then they got the hate they deserved.

And "they got the hate they deserved" is the problem. People like YOU are exactly the problem.

People like me? WTF? seriously.

Sure. Since you consider that a company deserves hate (because of a product not meeting some people's expectations).

You should apply for a job in the Trump administration.

Seriously? Makes me wonder why there are any Windows games out there. I'd rather say the port didn't really pay off (because it was a released buggy and too early) and the name-calling was just the icing on the cake, or maybe even not that.

The share of Linux users on Steam is still holding steady

Why are people so open-source obsessed? Games are not open-source anyway, as well as Nvidia drivers, so what would be different if Steam goes open-source? Linux market share is too small for gamers to be capricious and picky. Why are people so open-source obsessed? Games are not open-source anyway, as well as Nvidia drivers

We are using Linux after all, not Windows, so you can answer your own question. There is no reason to make such clients closed, except for DRM. DRM can't be open by definition.


I appreciate open source software for important core components of my operating system and the applications I have to work with. I couldn't care less whether such utterly unimportant things as games are open source or not. And the Steam client? Well, it would be nice if it was open source, but far from a necessity. After all we are still talking about this rather unimportant stuff. OTOH DRM can be open source - checking a serial number against some registered serial numbers is hardly anything which requires security by obscurity. Plus there have been initiatives for open source DRM solutions - they probably never caught on.
