[olug] Linux gamers?

[John Serafino]

I'm mostly a lurker, but I am part of this community and very much prefer
to do my gaming with Linux. The Humble Indie Bundle 12 included games that
all had Linux support, including Gone Home and Papers, Please, which are
big in artsy indie circles (read: what I'm into). When I realized how many
games have Linux support these days, a game not having it became a huge
deterrent to buying.

I don't back Kickstarter projects personally, but I do like to keep an eye
out for interesting Linux and indie games, and it could bring more
opportunities for gaming related discussion to the table.
