    I want to read about it, hence why I don’t read GoL: because most of their articles are irrelevant. I don’t care about a random indie game running on Linux; this isn’t news.

      They are actually one of my go to sites for getting info on new and exciting indie games. I know the articles are not as good or long as other publications but it does what it says. If you do have better alternatives that cover indie games and linux gaming, pls do share.

      Games running on Linux don’t count if compatibility layers are used. Weird opinion. Expect pushback.

        Most games run on Linux if we take compatibility layers into account. What’s the difference with IGN if they talk about all games that run on Linux?

            It’s called Gaming on Linux. Not Gaming in General. However, they are not a Linux gaming publication, as they mostly talk about Windows games whose Linux compatibility is irrelevant; that stopped being news since 99.9% of Windows games work without issues.

            It would be like Windows Central making an article about every Switch release that works on emulators. Sure, they are allowed to, but it’s not what their publication is about.
