Hm, I got a Left 4 Dead 2 Beta and Left 4 Dead 2 (Beta) now. What's the right one? :)

Tripwire on why Red Orchestra 2 and Rising storm won't come to Linux just yet

Quoting: tweakedenigma
Quoting: nonameTripwire should collect 30.000$ or more at kickstarter for porting ro2 to linux!
I would be willing to kick in some money for that.
They should start taking some sort of pre-orders for a Linux version, preferably via Kickstarter.

I hope they remember, that there are Linux users, who already paid for this game.

If it's really just the porting time, it's ok, though.

On the controversies of Humble, Canonical and Team Meat

Quoting: "Anon, post: 7260"A nice summary about what (probably) happened.

Thanks for that.

Still, Edmund's "wasnt a good fit for the Ubuntu store" worries me. Didn't it fit, because of it's quality or is Canonical going to be a dictator of taste (like Apple)?

Well, Tommy is same guy, who said, that every triple A game is shit.

You should just ignore him. Stupid people only keep on yelling crap as long someone listens.

But back to topic:

WTF? Did Canonical keep all the money from the SMB sales? And is the rejection of Isaac really because it "wasnt a good fit for the Ubuntu store", or is it just what Edmund thinks?

I really hope Canonical can clearify things.

Steel Storm 2 crowdfunding kicked off

Backed it, but I have some questions:

- How long will it approximately take to play through a chapter?
- How many chapters are planned?
- In what time intervals do you plan to release them?

I guess you can, at best, provide very vague estimations, but I'd still like to have a basic idea of the scale of this game.
