This game looks really cool. Seeing "extremely challenging" and "action" in the description leave me unsure if it's for me, but points for artistic direction anyway.

I don't really understand why developers can't wait ~two months just to release them altogether, I find it a bit odd, but they must have their reasoning.
For a small developer the reasoning seems obvious. You want your product out of the door and making money as soon as it's finished.
Then surly you want it out on more platforms right away to get even more money? Same logic ;)
Sure, if all platforms were ready at the same time. Seems like they weren't though. No reason to sit on the Windows version while Aaron works on the Linux port.

I love this wacky gem of an adventure. Also an in-depth port report would be awesome.

Alienware do a pretty nice job of advertising their Steam Machine & SteamOS in this new video

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionBut like you say, I probably don't understand the experience behind that rational; somebody explain?
Surely you can think of one reason to prefer Linux other than freedom? I can think of several. I certainly like the philosophy, but I probably wouldn't limit myself to a free operating system if indeed I found the experience somehow limiting.

I do my share of Linux and open-source "evangelism" if you will, but I leave the actual activism to others.

Quoting: lidstahI must admit I quite never understood these kind of almost "religious wars", and I've seen a lot from the Amstrad vs C64 one, Amiga vs Atari ST one, Nintendo vs Sega one, BSD vs the rest of the world one, and even some survivors of the Vi vs Emacs wars (what a bloody mess), and I still don't get the point of posting in threads related to what you don't like to try to push your point of view (valid or not), point of view which will always been, at best, ridiculed by other posters.
I never got the fanatic fanboy mindset either, but corporations and their marketing departments do and they love it. As do politicians.

Thanks for being awesome, Gaming On Linux! You're the first and the last site I check every day, with the nicest community in the history of gaming sites.

I pretty much never watch gaming streams, but last night was fun! It was the first time I enjoyed watching someone soil their pants. I'm an awful human being. :'( I'll atone by playing through Alien Isolation. I'm a huge sissy, better invest in some adult diapers...

Here's to seven more! I don't have any of the games you'll be streaming, but I'll watch the stream for a while at least. :)
