Now if they would only release a DRM free version of it I'd be giddy.

I'm always on the lookout for more FPS games on Linux but I don't think this one's for me.

Obsidian is one of the few developers I have any type of trust in. Very short list I can count on one hand.

I would still love a port of Gas Guzzlers Extreme. Hopefully they choose a company who is passionate about Linux and isn't just looking to do a quick and dirty job.

I would be a good hunter because my Daddy taught me how.

I've been looking forward to this game for a while. I'm g;ad it finally has a release date.

This would be amazing. The more quality AAA games coming to Linux the better.

Is the GOG version confirmed ? It's not on the site yet.

Nevermind, they updated the GOG version to include Linux now.

As a developer, do not claim to support more than you actually do. If you only packaged the game for Linux without even running it, state so. If you only can afford to run it on Ubuntu using NVidia drivers to make sure it starts, be upfront about this. Try not to use vague terms as “Linux version”, don’t be afraid to brand it as “Ubuntu version” or “SteamOS version” (if you are testing on these OS of course). In the latter case, I hope that Valve will start a certification program to help provide a consistent experience

This is gold. It's also something that should be very obvious for developers to do, but a lot don't. Sadly, when a developer does state they only support say "Nvidia" you then get the AMD camp claiming the developer is rubbish or something.

As an AMD user, I'd probably still buy a game having "Tested on" list with only NVidia cards, long as the developer is still willing to work with AMD users to fix major bugs (with the understanding that such users must be patient, it won't be high priority and might take a while). I can be patient, not one of those who is offended at having to wait until after the general release.

I have no issue with being patient and I try to help others to see that patience is needed. It does suck sometimes as an AMD user but at the end of the day getting angry doesn't help. If we as a community can help the devs improve their game then great but the devs have to be willing to accept the help and want to improve it.

Well done article. I am glad that developers are finding a place they can speak up on without giving their name. Hopefully it keeps up.
