Quoting: liamdaweit shows more poor reception from Linux gamers.

What? 6% of all sales is *great* reception from Linux gamers!

In percentages yes, in actual sold amount, no.

The amount sold is what matters, not the percent.

And the overall sales were crap. The Linux percentage is great compared to other games.

Quoting: DrMcCoyHe was working for them; he represented them!
When an employee of company X does something shitty, of course that reflects badly onto company X! It always does, everywhere.

Maybe in some country like in Japan that has a heavy work culture. I don't know where you work, but over here in the US, if the boss does something stupid then he gets fired or he's forced to quit. Jay Wilson anyone? Nobody else's lively hood is usually effected.

Valve wasn't being fair to the other people in the company who didn't make any death threats. So, I don't think it really matters that he came back. They were no going to put the game back on steam anyway.

Quoting: Xpanderi still think it was stupid to pull the game from steam.. it shows how much in control they are, if they dont like something they can just remove it..
ofc that death threat tweet was nasty as hell, but it wasnt meant seriously anyway, internet is full of those comments.

they could have settled this matter privately.. but pulling a game from steam because of that is still stupid in my eyes... i bought this game and i wont get updates to it anymore..how fair is that?

In the professional word, that doesnt fly. at all. you can't just say "it was not a serious comment" and get away with it. Mike acted like a teenage boy with testosterone overload and zero common sense, and his co workers and fans got hurt as a result. that sucks, but valve has zero reason to sell anything by anyone who sends death threats, serious or not. and considering that death threats can be charged as felonies in many states, mike is damm lucky that valve didnt decide to throw the book at him.

I'm also surprised that the studio let him back, either. friend or not, he screwed his coworkers over on their current project, why would they let him back?

Of course, it's also not cool in the professional world to screw out other people just because one person did something stupid.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroSorry, but this one is a no for me - however good the game looks and I don't really care if it's a different team either - it's not a problem with the individuals working on these projects and I'm sure they're great people, it's a problem with management hanging on to the gravy train so much that they make it derail.

It's usually the producer that mismanage the funds. Tim Schafer was the sole reason why Broken Age was losing money.

And thankfully, you're only one person and other people are buying this game because it's good that deserves to be funded.

Quoting: ImantsI do not think I am to eager to buy Early Access game from Double Fine :(. I will wait for full release.

A different team was working on Space Base. I can assure you that this game is actually fun and will be released since they have a competent producer (Brad) this time.

I already have a pre ordered copy thanks to donating to the project 2 years ago. I had no choice since Obsidian Etertainment is my favorite developer of all time who creates games from my favorite genre of all time (Western RPGs). :D

Quoting: MohandevirShould have re-read myself.

No worries ;)… What I meant is: there is not a single (good, native, not top-down) racing game on Linux. Very few (playable, fun) solo FPS’s. The only western 3D action RPG is pathetic and unplayable. Very few and no good (Starcraft-quality) RTS.

I agree with you on racing games, because besides race the sun and flatout, there isn't much else. However, I disagree with you on everything else. Most of the FPSs on my steam library I play as single player only (I'm not including puzzlers like Portal). As for 3D action RPGs, the Witcher 2 runs well for me, and there are a few other 3D actions RPGs on Linux (Borderlands, Planet Explorers, Mount and Blade, Dungeon Defenders, etc). As for very few RTS games, it's the same on Windows really. Nearly most Strategy games that come out are turn based. I'm a big RTS fan, I can tell you that there has barely been in any decent RTS games that came out in the past 4 years.

Quoting: Astro

Quoting: BeamboomThis right here is what I talk about in my post above. Ferals work on Xcom is the exact opposite of garbage, it's one of the best ports to Linux so far, and to sit an spew out stuff like this on forums on the net... We're just in no position whatsoever to do so!

A lot of people contact me after reading my comments about Feral. We talk and I recommend them contact Feral and ask them don't port any more games on linux. So, I don't need to argue with you here. Sorry, nothing personal. What I need is just leaving my comments and do what I do.

Still bitter about the whole 32 bit thing huh? It's not Feral's fought that you're using an outdated system. I'm glad they didn't waste their resources on a few stubborn people like you and hopefully we will get more ports from them. :D

It's going to come no matter what. Valve would be stupid not to allow more games to come to Linux.

Quoting: Speedster

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyStill not interested until I get my mods to work, but this is a nice first step. :D

What mods?

BG is a 16 year old game with a community that's still modding today. It would be impossible to list all the mods available.
