I have also removed it from my wishlist. What a farce it has been.

Quoting: Feist"It's something we'll be looking at depending on the windows sales."

I've always felt a little confused about statement like this. I mean a great majority of linux games, are games with rather small/modest sales overall and there are plenty of linux titles with relatively tiny sales numbers for windows & linux alike. On the other hand, there's a large number of "Super Sellers" for windows, where a linux version has never been up for consideration at all and any request is met with the "cold shoulder".

So obviously "lots of windows sales" is not an argument for a linux version. Sometimes I almost get the reverse impression, that the more poorly a game sells for windows the greater is the chance for a linux version

Could depend on if they're getting in enough money to finance it. They obviously don't know if it could be profitable or not, so they shoot out the Windows version to see if they can take the risk of porting to OSX/Linux. For me that's pretty much reasonable, especially for smaller studios.

Yes that's more the case here. Developers can't always go straight to a Linux version if they haven't planned for it originally, as then an additional platform will take time and money away from what's already selling. Linux doesn't exactly sell many copies of games right now either, remember that before getting annoyed at developers.

Quoting: LeviPretty cool that valve kept their promise and released the models to the public. I wonder, under which license do they publish them? I do not see any mention of a license in the source, I hope that it'll be something like creative commons to allow everyone to profit from it.

Their idea for a storage place for the adapter is bitter, something I sorely miss because I still am not using the controller often enough to keep the adapter plugged in.

Unless you're talking about something else, the files are under creative commons, it's mentioned in the quoted text :)

Quoting: ThePierrasseApril fool?

If it is, then it's too early, terribly worded and just outright not cool.

Heh, yeah I saw this. That is overkill for 99% of people. At least mine was pointing out something more realistic people might want :)

Interesting stuff though.
