They are still benefiting from the fact that we didn't used to have games on Linux. I know I bought some of their games back then and ran them under Wine, but why would I do that now that I have tons of their competitors games available to me?

Google image search says that's from the Oxford Eagle and Child pub. Not sure if that's helpful at all though...

I own Grim Fandango and still have the original CDs and box, but I will happily buy this at full price to show my support.

I am one of the people that find the performance unacceptable. I still can't play TW2 many months after release due to it constantly dropping to low FPS at a low resolution even on medium graphical settings. Even Stronghold 3 Gold which also uses eON couldn't hit a solid high FPS and dropped down quite often, and the game isn't even intensive.
...

That really sucks, I had some minor issues at high quality settings when it first came out - but it looks like they've fixed those since release. I just think that as a community we were a little rash with blaming eON when some systems don't have any problem with the game.

I also dislike it when people decide to hide details like who is developing it. Fair enough that it wasn't meant to be known this early, but why continue to hide it? That to me shows a lack of confidence. I always say to developers and publishers they need to be more open, and to a technically minded audience like Linux gamers it matters even more so.
...

This I agree with 100%.

I honestly didn't have any trouble with the Witcher 2, so I have no problem with eON potentially being used here. I have an nVidia card though, so I would suspect a lot of the issues are not really eON's fault but are a result of crappy drivers.

"Everybody wants to rule the world" is a brand new addition. I immediately think of XCom, but they've already released that so it must be something else? ...

In 2013, the song was covered again for the video game BioShock Infinite...

When War for the Overworld first came out on Linux there were a bunch of issues, I helped the devs track these down and report them to the upstream driver maintainers. It seems to me like it makes sense to "release early"* and then we, as a community, can help get the drivers fixed for everyone.

* With appropriate warnings that not all drivers are supported, of course.

Well, at least we hit 800 games ( http://store.steampowered.com/search/?os=linux&category1=998 [External Link] ) - now Steam for Linux has more games than the PS3!
