Thanks To Valve, More Than 1,500 Games Are Now On Linux

Posted by timothy on from the snowball-rolling dept.

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?

  1. Those I play by leegaard · · Score: 4, Informative

    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.

    Saints Row IV is coming to Linux later this year. http://store.steampowered.com/...

  3. Steam? More like Humble Bundle. by TheLongshot · · Score: 4, Informative

    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.
