Quoting: CheesenessYep! It was envisioned as a trilogy of short stories that could stand on their own rather than an episodic title. I can't really comment on Unbound, but IMO the first game works well as a standalone story - enough that it makes me sad when I see people who're just hanging out for the next installment instead of appreciating/thinking about first installment's story on its own.

Ok, you got me convinced. I'll give it a shot... in the morning. :)

Is this still supposed to be trilogy? It looks like something I would totally enjoy playing, but I really don't want to wait for another 2-3 years to see an ending.

I do hope there is an achievement for finding the penguin. ;)

We all would like to see Linux to have a greater market share, and grow faster, but their statistics seem to be legit. They claim to collect the data from websites that use their analytics service, and there is no reason to believe that these random websites are in any way biased towards users of any one particular platform. It is also more or less consistent with the Steam survey. There is no reason to believe that Linux users somehow mask their presence online by using user agent switchers and such.

On a brighter note, Linux has really liberated me from all the free tech support for my buddies and relatives, because "I don't know anything about Windows". :)

I like how fluid the animations are. They really add dimension to characters as opposed to just being flat sprites.

I don't think it's factually fair to lump Debian and Ubuntu together under a debian-based banner.

That I agree with, but I am not sure that lumping all Ubuntu spin-offs makes sense either. I would say it only makes sense if they actually use the same repositories. Like how all these Debian flavors [External Link] are not independent distributions, because they all are different default configurations of the same thing. But something like Mint, is it any closer to Ubuntu, than Ubuntu is to Debian?

Quoting: wolfyrion"HR isn't popular enough to justify the Linux port"

Thats not the way how marketing works and is totally wrong for the developers to think like that!

Exactly. One can easily say that it is not popular enough for a redux version either. But that is exactly why it makes sense to reach out to new markets that are not yet saturated. Like Linux gaming.

Anyway, I certainly hope that somebody in the company does have plans for the Linux version or that they will change their mind. I love FPS games and this would be an instant buy for me.

It's a great game and they could definitely use more expose. Good move.

Quoting: Mountain ManWhy do developers bother with even asking? ... It's not like "Linux gamer" is a monolithic subset of the gaming community.

That's exactly my thought. Although I do get why are they doing it. If they never did anything Linux, are not familiar with the community, but would really like to do it, maybe a little encouragement is all they need? Or maybe the suits want to see some evidence that Linux gamers are not a myth? We need to assume that they are asking because they care, not because they are looking for excuses.
