Thanks Stefan. Certainly looks interesting. I'll keep an eye on it!

Steam Play Proton is correctly tracking Linux sales, a statement from Valve

Quoting: areamanplaysgameLet's say I buy a Windows-only game on a Linux machine, but I don't install or play it for a few weeks. Is it counted as a Linux sale, or does it default to Windows?

Ahh, the old pile-o'-shame. I was curious about this too. Same as if I buy something from an Android phone... is that technically counted as Linux?

Retro Cyberpunk adventure games - so hot right now! I'm playing through Whispers of a Machine, but this looks interesting (as does Born Punk).

Looks like the narrative thriller 'The Suicide of Rachel Foster' will come to Linux

I know someone called Rachel Foster, so this was a little disturbing :)

Looks good though.

Quoting: GoboPeople who are interested in this also might like to see if Technobabylon runs on Linux

I played through Technobabylon on Linux. I think using Steam/Proton...? I've never had any issues with AGS games running thru Wine though.

Get Wasteland 2 Director's Cut FREE in the GOG Winter Sale, lots of Linux games going cheaps

QuoteI definitely feel like Pathfinder is a lot less forgiving than Pillars of Eternity or Wasteland 2 for example.

I'd agree about Pathfinder. It does things a little differently to Pillars. I never really got stuck into Pathfinder the table top game either, I prefer DnD myself.

Kelvin and the Infamous Machine was a lot of fun. Very similar to the old LucasArts games of yesteryear.

I'm keen to give this a go.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleMy partner just switched to Linux 100%, even though she can't run Photoshop anymore. We're currently playing Final Fantasy XIV together. That's the real value of Proton right there.

I have a friend who did the same. Got sick of Windows and switched to Linux cause he could still play his games. That's it.
Not because of the freedom, open source, or privacy concerns (he figures in this day and age MS/Google/Facebook know all about him anyway). He just wanted to play games, and Proton made that possible.
