Finding a Linux specific vendor in the UK is near impossible, any that do offer VERY limited options.

Yeah my next buy after this notebook will most likely be an AMD fusion laptop since they will be perfectly supported. Just the current crop didn't have the performance i wanted.

Ah, okay, that does suck pretty hard. I guess maybe next time just shop from a Linux specific vendor? Or do as I do and always go with AMD... (and let the flame war begin! :rolleyes:)

It never listed Optimus like anywhere and i didn't know until turning it on...then i couldn't take it back for a refund = screwed, so right now i am not using Linux and considering my position as site admin.

Question: If you knew Optimus would be a problem, why did you get the laptop?

It is the only place because i am the only one as far as i know that Keith told. Also updating the post in a second with Scotts official reply.

Edit -> Post has been updated, so you know we are also the website that interviewed Keith before and we are quoted in two official Desura blog posts - I don't pull news out of my backside ;)

Ok, after a lot of trial and error, I figured out why I couldn't see the button.
It was because of NoScript. But that is not all:
Even with the default NoScript settings and all scripts allowed, the "buy" button is not visible!
To see the "buy" button, it is necessary to uncheck the "Clean suspicious internet requests" box in "advanced->XSS" (translated strings, so maybe not exactly the same in English).

I think that's quite a big problem since most NoScript users won't even see the button. :/

I also tried the site in Chromium and there it also behaves a bit strangely:
The website loads correctly with the button, but when clicking it:
1) A new tab opens and it shortly displays "uploading..." in the status bar until the paypal page appears (probably perfectly normal, but not very reassuring)
2) If I close the paypal tab and click the button again, nothing happens. (If I leave the paypal tab open and click the buy button again, it reloads the paypal page.)

The button code (slightly formatted) according to my understanding:

Quoting: "KIAaze, post: 2409"Mmh, where exactly is the "buy" button? :confused:
Or maybe I'm just too tired.

Also, I remember the game being open-source. What is the current status?

The game is closed source and has been completely re-designed much has changed since then. The buy button is located directly under the helena the 3rd image.

Cheers

Update: This promotion has now ended. Over 1000 copies of the game have been given out. Thanks to everyone who's supported us today.

Well, I for one pre-ordered SS2 because I became aware of the series via HiB. I haven't actually played Steel Storm yet, but it seems well-made and I like the idea of more games on Linux.

I'm not sure exactly how it worked before for Alex but upon looking into DoD on Humble you can actually set how much you pay to them, they are directly included into the Developer bit where you chose where your money goes to, so for DoD it may work out better, I don't know if that was also the case for Alex.

Picture to show what I mean for the Humble Introversion Bundle:

I can tell you that being a bonus game or game at all in HiB is not everything it is cracked up to be. Developers should pretty much expect that to be the end of life for their games. Once a HiB sale is over sales of those games afterwards are pretty slim pickings. Being an add-in game for a small fix price, I'm sorry, but that is insane. The only way it works if you can sell a different game and use an old one as a lead in to the newest game anything else is suicide, and even then I am not sure that would even work.

Yeah learning how Alex was treated by HIB was quite shocking really, not as good as they make themselves out to be eh.

It was interesting to finally get a little bit of insight on how the HIB money is split between devs, notably the bonus games.
They added a slider to choose how much you want to give to the HIB2 games, but not for Steel Storm if I remember correctly. :/

As for Gameolith sales being low: I think it also has to do with the fact that the game was out for a while before Gameolith started, and then there was the HIB. So most people interested in the game probably already had it.

Added a note to say it's an old vid :)

No worries Liam, it's a video of the internal prototype of another game I had in mind, but "Tomes of Mephistopheles" can be counted as it's spiritual successor, but with First Person view ;) Keep the vid, just maybe note it's not the "Tomes of Mephistopheles" game.
