When my motherboard broke and I replaced it my widows 7 told me that my windows copy is not genuine I told it I will install Linux and newer regret that (at least after month of learning terror :P).

Quoting: GoCorinthiansKeep it coming. Would be great more games coming in easy-way for devs like EON, Wine!
I would not mind if old titles would be brought to us like this.

Quoting: Maokei
Quoting: ZeloxThis is a perfect game if u want to play a casual moba.
Or if u want to try something new cause u got bored of dota 2 or lol.
It's pretty much just as casual as lol, they both pale in comparison to dota2.
Yes I totally agree. Dota2 is too hard core. I played it like 5 times and I still did not understand what to do and could not enjoy any of games. I started enjoy strife from my second game.

Stronghold 3 Gold Looks Closer To A Linux Version

Quoting: ImantsOne year and it is history. You can't expect to sell well game which comes out this late and was in so many steam sales alredy.
And yet I just recently played a native port of LIMBO made four years after the original Windows release and three years after its initial Linux release as a Crossover wrapper.

If an independent studio can manage it, why can't Firefly? I do not see the need to handhold developers closer to AAA but then turn around and see Indies outdoing them.
There are some developers who care abbout theyr name and will try to deliver decent port just for that and those who only wants to earn something. You canot expect to earn a lot with old games so I think eon is ment for them. I think companyes like feral and aspyre made linux ports for civ5 and xcom not to earn a lot of money but to earn a name for them selvs as excelent companyes securing market for next ports.

Stronghold 3 Gold Looks Closer To A Linux Version

Quoting: ImantsNothing wrong too much if it is used for old games as this game.
This game came out initially in 2011 - what is your definition of old?

It certainly does not appear to be the same as mine.

Stronghold 3 Gold Looks Closer To A Linux Version

Quoting: ZeloxMy I ask, what so bad with Eon port, and what does that really mean for the games?
Nothing wrong too much if it is used for old games as this game. Because there aren't too many companies which would do a native port like feral or Aspyre and eon port should cost much more cheaper. As stronghold 3 is not so graphics intensive as Witcher 2 and eon is starting to mature I do not think it will have so many problems as Witcher 2 had at the lunch. I think we will see many eon ports in the future for old games but I hope no eon port for new ones.
