Whoever buys early access games to me are fucking idiots anyways. Concept looks nice and all, but finish the damn game so you can execute it properly without it getting a bunch of backlash.

Awesome and the best part is that it's its own standalone game, no emulators needed either!

After thinking about these wrappers and how useless they are, I've retracted that opinion and I have to say that they're much more important because of what developers are used to, especially with legacy BS from Windows.

It's going to take time until devs begin making actual native games, because now they have good reason to do so, especially when there's SteamOS coming out. Current gen games are GOING to be wrappers, don't expect too much for the time being as Windows STILL has that monopoly on the desktop, mostly because of businesses and work related stuff. As long as games still run on x86 processors and Windows, enthusiasts/gamers will still run Windows.

Leadwerks Game Engine To Launch On Ubuntu Software Centre

The USC is gonna be embedded within Unity 8, it's vendor lock-in, yes, but Steam also comes to mind, if it runs on Ubuntu, it should be able to run on anything. It's more like a risk, as there's some people who would be more than happy to buy from the software center, but I agree that this isn't really the best move to be ONLY available on Ubuntu at all.

What they need is to package their program for Debian- and Fedora-based distros. Do they have download links to their programs or do they want Canonical/Microsoft/Apple to host their program?
