Some disappointment for you - Limbo isn't even native, it includes it's own version of Wine...works perfectly for me though!

----------
So the rumour mill is buzzing and the next Humble Bundle may very soon be upon us!

It looks as if we will be getting at least 1 game completely new to Linux this time too.

More info as and when it comes in keep checking back for the latest! It will hopefully launch tonight.

The petition is a good idea. But just to be sure they receive my complaint, I will also write to: [email protected]

Indeed, you are right Brandon that WINE is not an emulator.

It does not really change anything though. As a Linux developer yourself, you deserve credit for the work you put into your native ports. By including a non-native game in something like the Bundle, it really is a kick in your teeth as well.

It is saying that you can get away with not putting in the effort.

any clue on this:

/Desktop/Downloaded> md5sum psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip
feb1d3216bbe32a317ea80cb4f88dcae psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip

checksum is correct

/Desktop/Downloaded> unzip psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip
Archive: psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip
fatal error: read failure while seeking for End-of-centdir-64 signature.
This zipfile is corrupt.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip or
psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip.zip, and cannot find psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip.ZIP, period.

I downloaded the 4gb twice now and the checksum is correct so ????

Maybe try using a different program, and if that does not work it is probably time to contact support.

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 4398, member: 6"The thing is Liam, aren't we beyond that stage these days? Especially from something like the Humble Indie Bundle?

I don't know how much good this will do, but I started a petition to protest the inclusion of a non-native game in a Humble Indie Bundle:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/hib-native/

Please add your signatures. It is worded in a very constructive way and it seemed like the most civil way to get our point across.

We can not sell out our values at this stage. Not when we have momentum.


Like I said I feel it is better than nothing, but not the ideal solution.

As far as I know no petition for Linux gaming has ever done anything?

Okay? Fortunately it's not 1998. And wine is not an emulator any more than mono or java is an emulator.

I honestly do not know what kind of effect this will have, but it is not like most Linux gaming petitions. It is directed at Humble Bundle, who do have a history of listening, even to a single individual.

I just figured it was better to get organized rather than have islands of unrest in a large humble sea.
