Agreed, this is a phenomenally well-written review! Can we expect more of these? :)

Thanks, Paypal makes it a little bit easier.

I'll give it a try later, but for people in the UK perhaps money in an envelope and snail mail is the easiest option?

It really doesn't matter what hardware you have. Anything that locks up the machine is a driver (or less likely) hardware problem.

Okay, in general, anything that causes your system to hang is a driver bug. It should not matter what crazy things an application does, it shouldn't cause a hang. It can be worked around in the app of course, but it's usually better to focus on fixing the drivers.

Quoting: "MarkMcKinnon, post: 4835"It seems that they do not care about fixing issues in there game and to just give me a refund. That really does suck because I really liked playing this game.

Just small stuff or something that stops you from playing the game?

Serious Sam II is, or at least was, playable on Linux with a little work.

Most game developers is adding some support for Intel GPUs, id is making Rage work on Intel, Unigine is also adding support. Not to mention that up until Oil Rush was released pretty much every native Linux game had really low system requirements.

Not supporting a big chunk of the market is bad (both for them and us), but their support is plain bad. It took ages to bring out a new build to support slightly older distros, they fail to even acknowledge or comment on bugs, they have some poor QA droid doing support so it isn't possible to talk to someone who actually can fix things, etc.

Then you are quite mistaken, I play everything with free drivers, and it works very well indeed.

May I also remind you of a little company called Intel, the biggest GPU manufacturer in the world and a very popular choice among Linux users? Yes, their official driver is a Mesa driver.

Be warned! They have really shitty Linux support and doesn't seem to care at all about Mesa drivers. :(
