Quoting: ZeloxIt will take mutch for me to suscribe to a game again.
But I like this idea, hopefully it can be an offical port later down the road.
We need an mmo on linux badly, and a sci fi one is the best one in my opinion.
I will probably try eve when the port is done ^^.
Isn't Vendetta Online for Linux? Seemed to me it was. I don't pay for any MMOs anymore because they are kind of like old retro games for me. I will randomly be 'in the mood' to play them and then I get bored too quickly, and stop playing. I did that with Elder Scrolls Online and probably paid for the subscription for 6 months, 5 of which I never played it. Finally decided to cancel the sub, and by then it'd become free to play anyhow.

I'd rather just have them port Elite: Dangerous over, of course they'd need SteamVR support first, because now that I've played the game in VR, I don't think I could go back to a normal screen!

I did really enjoy Star Trek Online and Age of Conan, I get the craving to play those occasionally as well.

I'd rather have a closer knit group to play something like Neverwinter Nights, or some LAN game fun. Ha, about the only MMO I'd pay for and play a lot would be Ultima Online if they had a native client again.
Ye Vendetta online, I never got in to that one, and we got runescape also.
Eve was my cup off tea tho, but wow was also out then, and everyone was in to wow so I ended up playing that one instead.

I think Elite will come to Linux in the future, but there are little content in the game at the moment, so I can understand they are waiting with a Linux port, and I think there was some problem with the engien they need to solve aswell.
I think the plan was to port the game to play station I can be wrong, then we can see a Linux port hopefully.

And I really dont like there modell of how they are selling the game at the moment, very high price at the start for no content at all, and now its very cheap and it got more content. Im talking about horizons there last expansion. So the longer we wait, the more we get for our money, for a cheaper price aswell.
And I can imagen some expansions down the road, you can buy Elite dangerous + horizon and the expansion after that for a cheap price.

And if they wont port it, we got star citizen.

Steam's latest Hardware Survey is out, shows Linux at 0.84%

There will probably be changes to this in valve time.
I dont really think this steam hardware is legit way to see linux user base.
I hardly use steam anymore.

Also steam dosnt track steam os users, and if they arent counted in with the linux user base,
do steam even count arch, fedora, opensuse and so on?
I know they count Linux users.

Last time I got a survay was almost a year ago.
And Iv been swaping os sence then.

I get "OOPS, SOMETHING WENT WRONG.
Please try again."

Maybe its high traffic, like someone said before.
It will probably work later today.

EDIT: If you have your steam account set to private, this can cause truble.
I have my account on private, and change to public could help detect your games.

Post from the devs.
