*WARNING* this is just a b*tching thread, so there will probably be no coherent flow to it :D

I know the whole linux release being "later this year" has already been discussed... but that doesn't mean I'm not a little bitter about it. I missed that "fine print" as I never read the official statement on their website. I only went off what was posted on steam.. and that cute little penguin that was next to it. Only to have the penguin removed and my metro hopes crushed (for the time being). I... no, WE need a more specific date we can expect to play these on linux. I would even be ok with a beta release for linux, marked as such. Let us help 4A make it the game we hope it will be. It has been said that visually there should be no real difference from the win and linux redux versions.. which was not the case with LL. That statement alone gets me excited. If it turns out to be true, I have no doubts these will be the next "best looking game on linux".

Now the day for the windows release has come and I'm a little :( and a bit :><: . I was really hopeing for a surprise multi-os launch. I REALLY want to play these and the best they can come up with is "later"... I don't want to goto windows and play it as I want the stats to show that I ONLY installed it in linux. Let's just hope the wait time is much less than I'm anticipating...

I really don't understand why the *nix's (OSX/Linux) get treated as second class citizens. Could they not have afforded to wait a bit longer and released them at the same time? I know I'm not the only slightly butt-hurt penguin out there as there are many posts on the steam forums from others who are a little peeved over the penguin icon switcharoo as well.

I'm glad I purchased at the preorder half off price.. but seeing them sitting in my library.. just staring at me isn't helping. I'm having bad thoughts of booting windows to play them.. someone talk me away from the ledge :P
