Sorry, not trying to be a dick, but my name gets mangled so much I have to take some perverse pleasure in pointing it out. ;)

Sorry about that. I have nothing against your name, but still keep changing it, hehe. Needless to say english isn't my native language.

Haters try to find excuses to disdain GNU/Linux or make them up. A few years ago some said it wasn't a good platform for games, nothing has changed on that front since and now it's a good platform. I feel we're sometimes treated like loosers just because we don't follow the main trends. Bah...

Hamish, I was thinking the same. I'll ignore him until he has something interesting to say. Why are we giving him so much publicity? He isn't worth it.

Canonical and Humble Bundle doing things in a ru$h, that's not news either...

Editted, I didn't want to sound mean, both Canonical and Humble Bundle do good things.

Same story as Mac, has to be enough people willing to buy it to justify the cost of porting and supporting it on Linux. I'd love to see it on Linux, although I'd still play on Windows for now.

This makes me think about how developers see Wine/dualboot users as if they didn't want the game ported to GNU/Linux, they're buying it anyway. Like they don't care about what their users want, already got their money.

I just found this post explaining how to make it work: http://aspensmonster.com/2012/12/07/steam-for-linux-beta-on-64-bit-debian-testing-wheezy/ [External Link].

But I think I'm going to play some indie/hb/desura games instead, at least they know how to distribute a game without making it hard for the user. It isn't surprising anymore than even a one man team can do right where big corporations go wrong, we've been shown several times. I'll wait and see if they can fix it or just rant about it.

I want to give it a try but I don't think it'll be easy to install in Debian. The propietary software integration syndrome. Hey Valve, it's easier to make it distribution neutral than what you've done. One thing is they don't offer support to other distributions, but giving a fuck about cross-distribution standards... This is not Windows.

;) (just joking)

Hehehe, I'm not a purist. And I think it would be a useful feature instead of having to walk in all directions to find the hidden mechanisms.

I finally tried most games in this bundle, at least the ones I'm more interested in, and it's starting looking good now.

Legend of Grimrock worked great from start, good port and nice game. Shank2 didn't work with the gamepad but it's now fixed in the last update, it's now better than Shank. Closure and Snapshot work smoothly too.

Dungeon Defenders is the problem in this bundle, the introduction and loading is very slow, then the fullscreen problems and crashes in the game. This port needs more work. On the positive side, it started without using any workarounds in the FAQ.

EDIT: Forgot to mention 3D mouse free look doesn't work well in Legend of Grimrock, looking direction jumps randomly and it's almost frozen. Not important but I'd like to see it work.

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 7321, member: 93"had a hard time to get Dungeon Defenders to even start, got a fatal IO server error which got solved by doing a
ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command

but it still is far from perfect, fullscreen no go and a crash here and there is quiet common, so been looking and found this:

running as root/sudo a game........ sorry but.............

Very nasty. I haven't tried it yet, but I know I won't run buggy closed software as root.

sounds good going forward.

That may be the only reason for saying they're evaluating GNU/Linux ports.

Yes, it looks better now. If that's the best for you is ok for me.
