For a game that seemed so promising, I was left severely underwhelmed by the experience.

Sad, was really hoping this could be the first nice RTS title :(.

Not a very big fan of LotR, but I guess from a RPG-Aspect I could like that game, so if it hits Linux, it'll be a buy for me.

Steam Machines may fail "for now", I wouldn't be surprised about that. But on the long-run, with the engines supporting it etc, we'll definitely see a even increased number of games supporting it. And if it's not too much effort anymore like porting whole engines, why would a developer miss out even one percent of sales (which can be a pretty huge number and hard cash too). Then there will be a market for steam machines running SteamOS too, before that I don't have much hope for it. And yes, not being able to play older titles may have a huge impact as well, but we'll see what and if Valve thinks to do something about it.

But what is there is be SteamOS as reference platform for developing and testing. Seriously, they may be able to test and support a handful of distros, but it is simply impossible to do for [all]. Having SteamOS as reference platform is definitely a benefit, and I certainly hope Valve keeps up that effort for the sake of the developers.

Seriously looks good, but won't opt-in before the linux client is in early access.

I don't mind "later releases"; even if it's half a year later, as long as the games are released in the end.

I'll back it, but I probably won't go for a higher level as pre-alpha, since very likely if they release linux later, we won't get an "early" alpha/beta build anyway.

I like their games (and ofc buy them - if my wife does not hide my credit card so I can't buy too many games :D), but I'd like to see a longer point&click adventure out of their studios, as they really do good with graphics and story in their games.

I am for sure buying this one, not just because I hope it to become the successor of SimCity2k. The first publisher with a city simulation in a long time who usually cares about their products quality at release, and maintain, fix and extend it after the initial release.

And it has workshop support, so we can extend it <3.

I always thought DA: O was Eclipse and DA2 were Lycium engine, not Aurora? Especially Lycium was a very huge modified engine compared to Aurora and Eclipse.

Aurora is in example missing PhysX, which DA: O with the Eclipse engine makes use of.
