> Between 2022-09-21 and 2022-09-28 there were 16 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 220 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 7.3 % of total released titles.
> Online gaming is a fairly well-regulated space in many countries; however, in India, there is no regulation whatsoever. In the past few years, the niche online gaming industry has grown exponentially to become one of the fastest-growing sectors in India. In 2021, the market was worth USD2.2 billion and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 30% to reach USD7 billion by 2026, according to Statista.
> Given how fast online gaming is growing in India, a central government panel, in a confidential draft (seen by Reuters), called for the creation of a new regulatory body under the IT ministry. Last year, Sushil Kumar Modi, a prominent BJP leader and MP, called for a comprehensive regulation of online gaming to curb societal costs such as gambling addictions and financial ruin.
> Valve has released another Client Beta for the Steam Deck which is now available for testing, mostly just fixing up issues. To try it yourself you need to be in either the Beta or Preview channels available in Settings >System >Steam Update Channel.
> Oxymoron Games, developers of the Project Hospital game have announced their second title with Silence of the Siren and it's looking quite impressive.
> JSAUX (pronounced Jay-Socks), announced recently that they've made available a new firmware update for their first two models of the Steam Deck Docking Station.
> One Dreamer is a point and click programming adventure game about a burned-out indie developer making games. It's officially out with Native Linux support. Note: key provided by the developer.
> For those of you wanting to play Rust again on Linux desktop or Steam Deck, it sounds like it's still some time away as Facepunch continues thinking on Easy Anti-Cheat support.
> You know me by now, I'm going to play everything I can that in some way resembles Vampire Survivors and this new influx of horde games and Don't Shit On My #!$@& Roof is the latest. Note: personal purchase.
> Video games from the 1980s until the present day are currently on show in a new interactive exhibition at the Estonian National Library in Tallinn.
> Guitar Hero was a cultural phenomenon a little over a decade ago, and showed that there was a real fun time to be had playing a virtual instrument on a controller. There are several other similar games available now for different instruments, including one called Trombone Champ that [Hung Truong] is a fan of which replaces the traditional guitar with a trombone. The sliding action of a trombone is significantly different than the frets of a guitar, making it a unique challenge in a video game. But an extra challenge is building a controller for the game that works by playing a real trombone.
