Thanks To Valve, More Than 1,500 Games Are Now On Linux
An anonymous reader writes: The Steam Store crossed the threshold this morning of having 1,500 games natively available for Linux. Timberman, a 0.99$ video game was the 1,500th title, but while there are a lot of indie games available for Linux, in the past three years have been a number of high profile AAA Linux games too. What games (old or new, free or paid) would you like to see available for Linux systems?
They run really well on Wine.
Mod me down, my New Earth Global Warmingist friends!
The games I play - and the only reason I am still on windows:
-Everything Blizzard makes (WoW, Diablo, Starcraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the storm and Overwatch when it becomes available.
-Battlefield (and derivatives, including Star Wars Battelfront)
Blizzard should be able to do something since they already have support for OSX.
EA could be a bigger problem.
I spend a lot of time in steam games - and welcome all they have done for gaming on Linux. I loath wrappers though as they have a tendency to cost on perfomance an example is Civilization V on Linux is painful compared to windows on trhe same machine.
You do know that civilization V runs on Linux, don't you? And provided you have a discrete graphics cards, it runs pretty well.
Saints Row IV is coming to Linux later this year. http://store.steampowered.com/...
Humble Bundle has ported over a hundred games to Linux, so they deserve a lot of credit for actually making Linux games, rather than just creating a store to sell them.
