This explanation is nonsense. They would have known about this before the game launched, before making promises. This is classic bait and switch: promising the moon to get preorders/early access money, then removing the rug from under our feet. Very shady.

Divinity: Original Sin is an RPG, not a platformer. :)

This list looks really good. A nice mix of indies and bigger budget games.

What an odd habit. Especially given that many series will try to shake up the formula as they age, why would you have to buy the originals? It's not like you're missing out on the story...

I always upgrade to the latest drivers. Still choppy. Still not choppy on Windows with super old drivers I haven't bothered to upgrade in ages.

Quoting: edddeduckferal

Quoting: InterzeroidUnfortunately Linux port need much more resources, than Windows version.

We're fairly similar in performance to the Windows version of the game, I don't think we need "much more resources". We supported a smaller set of newer cards (however many older cards will work if you get the right drivers and setup).

I'd be interested in what your reasoning is, could you email our support with your information?

This is false. In fact, how could you know that your game runs equally well on Linux systems when the listed system requirements for Linux are significantly higher than the ones for Windows? You didn't even test with older cards, from what I've heard. Performance for those older cards is abysmal. In fact, it was months before the game could work on a GTX 275. The game runs very choppily on my system in Linux, but flawlessly on Windows. Your own steam forums indicated at launch that this was a common experience, so I don't see how this is news to you.

I think what we're seeing here is the distinction between people who chose linux for pragmatic reasons, and those who also have philosophical reasons for using the platform. I tend to be on the pragmatic side of things, but at the same time, I believe in free software. If games are programmed from the start to be multiplatform, then it's bringing us closer to a world where all software is free to use, share and modify. There's enough games on linux right now not to get bored ever, I want new games to be native.

Considering the game runs fine on a GTX 275 in Windows, I'd consider it a failure that you need a 560ti to run it in Linux...

Not to be a downer but that trailer makes the game look really cheap and generic. :/

Wow. To go from being so optimistic about the port to being as vague as they were the last time they talked about it, I'm guessing they just figured it wasn't worth the effort.

They will not be getting a penny from me until this is on linux. It's a shame, I wanted to play this. Civ 5 is native however, so I can already get my 4x fix elsewhere.

*Sigh* Why don't they adopt good programming practices and just assume from the start that filenames should be case sensitive?
