Quoting: GBeeMy mouse doesn't flicker, or at least I've never noticed it, but then my attention tends to be on the screen when playing the game and not the peripherals.

It's very noticeable if you have the issue, especially in games where you're looking towards a mouse pointer often like strategy games. You would know if you had it I'm sure.

Quoting: TheBossYou may think it's overreacting, but I will keep pointing out developers that do stuff like this.

Do stuff like what?? Tone it down a little, maybe.

Tone it down? Cheeky.

I think you're fully aware of what I am talking about: Developers who state Linux is a platform right up until release, then release without Linux support and don't mention it anywhere. Forcing me and other users to chase them up for answers.

I will continue to point out developers that do it, as the majority appreciate it. We also have people who like to know what happens with games that we previously covered.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionOkay so they say it themselves: Teamspeak is expensive and Skype is a hassle, why not just use Mumble?

They host everything for you, it's all at the click of a button and really easy to do.

Quoting: StianTheDarkPeople say Ubuntu is so simple and easy, yet I've never ran into more issues than on Ubuntu ;) Now I'm happily settled in on Arch. Not to mention Mir coming over to ruin everything that the Linux community has used years on building up, with proprietary code! Yay!

Like i said in the article, this is not an Ubuntu issue, it happens in other distributions including Arch.

QuoteIMPORTANT! To get this to work, you will have to already have the game in your Steam library

Does this mean to get the Linux version I have to install the Windows version?

Typical!

No, it means you have to actually own the game. It's not a free beta.

Quoting: TakamaraGlad I held off preordering - should have seen this coming when the initial betas were Windows only. Oh well, got Parkitect to keep me busy - at least they've kept to their promise of a Linux version rather than the same old story of 'not being ready' - AKA pushed to the side so they're only working on the Windows version and then when they finally get round to doing it it takes far longer than it would have done if they had worked on it at the same time.

Parkitect is going to be great indeed :)

Sadly not, very different games.

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyOverreacting much? Modern day Atari has always been crooked, but I don't see what they did wrong here. Most linux game release have never been day one. They NEVER promise a day one release. They simply said they're targetting a Linux release date.

You and I obviously have very different views on things. If a developers says it will have a Linux version, and right up until release it mentions Linux, I expect a Linux release.

Call it whatever you want, but it's crap communication and I expect better.

They never promised a day-1 release, but it should never have mentioned Linux on the store page if it wasn't going to be. People pre order and spend their money on what developers say remember, only to get burnt by missing Linux versions time and time again.

Also, their wording implies a Linux day-1 release. If you read it properly. They mention Mac is after the target of Windows and Linux/SteamOS.

You may think it's overreacting, but I will keep pointing out developers that do stuff like this.
