Oh great, can't wait when I'll be able to stop using Wine for this one :) This is one of my favourite games and maintaning two Steam clients (one native and one run under Wine) is a slight inconvenience :)

My experience: from one side, flawless playthrough of SpecOps: The Line, from the other, horrible performance of Stronghold 3 Gold and Witcher 2... I guess I'll just wait for the port report on GOL ^_^

Very cool, it was available already as a preview build, but I encountered some problems while playing it :)

This industry has enough problems with ports from consoles to PC (last shitstorm with Batman: Arkham Knight proved it once again), at that point we should be grateful we are getting anything at all, really ;)

If you are not familiar with the gaming industry you might overrate developers capabilities of keeping and maintaining their own source code after as short time as, let's say, two years. Not to mention, that wrapping technologies REALLY are often cheaper to use.

You want developers to learn how to multiplatform? That is very nice of you. But hey, they do not own you a thing. So stop acting like you are entitled to any kind of treatment and if you don't like something, just do not buy it.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for native ports. But just understand, that is not always possible. And that a bad native port is way worse than a good wrapper.

Does anyone remember the game called Abuse? It was available in Debian repositories some time ago... Anyway, my thoughts after seeing this trailer: Abuse and... Portal (after seeing the last scene from the trailer).

Nice that it is going to be available on Linux, even though trailer and their webpage has only Windows and Mac logos :)

Happy birthday, GOL, Liam and the community!

Now, stop being dicks to developers. Yes, even when they're wrong. Yes, even when they're being dicks.

Quoting: RobertThis game is perfect for a couple.

I think so too, it is a great coop game for two, full of humour and puzzles :)

As much as I've seen this one coming, I still am very sad right now... But as long as our friends at Valve won't forget where SteamOS came from and both client and games will still work on any distro thanks to the famous Steam Runtime... I think I can live with that.

If that is a part of SteamOS branding push, just a marketing move... Godspeed, Steam Machines! Cause their success will mean more users, more games, better drivers and an overall a noticeable step forward for Linux.

But I would really like to see someone at Valve, in best scenario Gaben himself reassuring us, that Linux (at least goddamn Ubuntu) will still be supported Steam platform, and that it won't change in foreseeable future.

Quoting: VonStill prefer to run my system's dosbox though, not the supplied one, though.

What is the difference?
