Revenge of the Titans + other puppygames hits coming to USC

By - | Views: 11,995
Puppy Games will be heading to an Ubuntu software centre near you soon my sources tell me!

So you can expect hits like Revenge of the Titans to appear soon!

Looks like Desura will have fierce competition as soon as it comes out...then again Desura is a different type of animal.

Ps. Who wants to see part 1 of the Desura interview? ;) Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I do!

I want to see it!

I do not see much competition:
Desura: Launch platform for Windows, Mac OS X, and all versions of Linux.
Ubuntu Software Centre: Launch platform for only one version of Linux.

Keep in mind, by all accounts the majority of Linux users are still using other distros, even if out of all the distros Ubuntu has the most users. But the combined forces of Fedora, Debian, OpenSUSE and the rest still far outnumber the total Ubuntu user share. So for any serious company, it would be a serious mistake to lock yourself to only one distribution. After all, there is still a common if incorrect belief that the Linux market is still to small for any developers to be seriously interested in anyway. Why would anyone want to more than halve that market? As such, I can not see the USC as being a serious thorn in Desura side. Any smart indie would be considering them first and the USC second.

And this is coming from someone who was not even that intersted in Desura until a few months ago. :)

Sorry, it was my @#@!#$ modem again. Problem is you are not sure when it actually is able to post, so you have to keep telling it to post when it does. But it turns out it did post some of your previous tries, but just did not update. @&#%^!

I really don't get people who buy from Ubuntu Software Center, I mean why would someone want to lock himself to use only one OS ? o...forgot about the Windows users...
Brandon Smith 13 years Jun 21, 2011
Convenience? The Software Center come with the OS right? It's not like steam or Desura that you need to log into and such. Anyway, I actually have no idea how well the software center does, it's possible it's not even that succesful.
MaximB Jun 22, 2011
But then you are locked even more, Linux Desktop is small, but Ubuntu is even smaller.
I would prefer installing Desura that works on all OS's knowing I won't be bound to Ubuntu .

P.S
I do use Ubuntu at home, but I want to be able to move to other distro at will knowing nothing will keep me in Ubuntu.
(They did piss me off with Unity, and now that Gnome3 is released I am only left with the old Gnome for a few years and then KDE4.6, and maybe I'll try again E17).
Brandon Smith 13 years Jun 22, 2011
Ah, yea I guess I assumed that anything you downloaded through the software center would work on other distros of linux. Does the Ubuntu Software Center apply some kind of DRM? Anyway, if all that's true, then I guess it really is just convenience, people will pay for that.

Anything you buy through USC as far as i know locks those items to your Ubuntu single sign on account.
Brandon Smith 13 years Jun 22, 2011
That's crazy. Then I am just as confused as MaximB.
