BioShock Infinite Looks Set For A Linux Release (CONFIRMED)

Quoting: leillo1975It's a very good new, but I prefer that Aspyr starts with Bioshock 1, then 2 and finally with Infinity. I didn't play none even.
Nothing is lost by playing Infinite first. It's two different worlds. But the original Bioshock needs to be played regardless. It's fantastic.

Infinite has a metascore of ~93%.

'nuff said.

It will be bought, eventually. But I got a main campaign to beat first! And Borderlands 2 DLCs to beat before that again!

(Yes I am *wading* in Borderlands content atm. What a wonderful situation to be in. :) )

Linux Lagging Behind On Minecraft User Statistics

I think it looks roughly as expected. Mac around six times bigger than Linux? Sounds like a reflection of the Steam stats.

Quoting: EikeIn their blog, it's under the heading "Linux Status".
I first assumed this was only related to linux, but reading the rest of the text I get the impression they got issues across all the platforms, including Windows. Quoting, "Firaxis/2K are planning to release a patch for the Windows version. Aspyr intends to release the patch for Mac simultaneously"

That, to me, implies they will release a patch to Windows as well for these same said issues, but only the Linux version suffer from a prolonged time until release.

If I understand correctly these are issues they are having with ATI and Intel across all platforms, not just Linux. So it seems we should not be too quick to jump on the conclusion that the Linux drivers suck. At least not solely.

I think this is a really cool feature. I don't see why this should take more of your bandwidth than doing the same via Twitch etc, or Youtube for that matter. It might however eat a chunk of your computing power, I should think.

Looks totally awesome. Just out of sheer principle I don't do EA purchases, but I'll add this to my wishlist. If it ends up being as awesome as it looks, it's a sure purchase.
