I can't wait for this - I have it on my Sony PlayStation 3, but I never backed it on Kickstarter because it wasn't until the campaign was over that I even knew it was coming to Linux-based operating systems!

Since I've found that out however, this has been sitting on my "wish" list and I have been impatiently waiting for its release...

There's not many games will I insist on paying full-price for, given Steam offers so many discounts, but this is one such game I will (pay full price for).

Quoting: ssokolowIf the publishers are dragging their feet on authorizing an amendment to the contract to add Linux to the list of allowed distribution platforms or the indie developers aren't willing to let them use a port from a Humble Bundle, there's nothing they can do.

The thing is, there are plenty of games available for Linux-based operating systems in other stores (such as Steam), but those same games are only available for Microsoft Windows-based operating systems on GOG.com...

I've contacted GOG.com at times and I get the same answer every time - "The publishers only allow us to sell this for Microsoft Windows-based computers".

But are GOG.com really trying?

You could argue that Vavle Software have a lot of buying power - but not talking about a handful of games, one or two publishers... We're talking about a lot of games and many different publishers, not to mention the fact that GOG.com is the smallest of stores out there.

I find it pretty unlikely that if GOG.com are really trying, they'd be so far behind with Linux releases... Particularly given that many of these are older titles that aren't going to fund a quarter of the staff christmas party, let alone make a publisher wealthy beyond their widest dreams.

In an attempt to "grab headlines", GOG.com made such a big song-and-dance about supporting Linux-based operating systems a while back... And yeah, they hit the 100 games they claimed they would offer.

But the trickle of games since has been just that - a trickle.

I had high hope of GOG.com, considering I've been a happy customer since the start... But I take their claims of enthusiasm for Linux-based operating systems with a grain of salt.

Quoting: jarfilA standard, open and free VR support that should work with any VR headset, no matter if it's the Oculus, the Steam one, or any other.

As I understand it, that is the primary goal of the OSVR [External Link] project... Though whom utilizes such a concept is yet to be seen (well, we already know that Razer [External Link] will, but whom else I mean).

It's (now) a Facebook product, I lost interest in this particular product the moment Mark Zuckerberg got involved...

Quoting: RattleheadAlso we have OSVR [External Link].

But there's always this, and I intend to purchase this as soon as I am (financially) able to.

By the way, the OSVR project page (with the development kit, technical data and whatnot) can be found here [External Link], for the more technical of you whom might be interested in development and/or contributing to the project.

I'm not a big fighter fan... Well except for the "Dead or Alive" franchise, I love that (yes, including the "beach" spin-offs - so much high-quality eye-candy!).

But I have Skullgirls on the PlayStation 3 and it's pretty neat - I can put my hand on my heart and say that of the games we know are coming to Linux-based operating systems, this is one of my most-anticipated... I'm not sure that it'd take the top spot, but it'd sit pretty close.

Of course, if you start to add games I want to come to Linux-based operating systems onto that list... Well unfortunately, it gets pushed pretty far down the list.

Anyway, I have this on my (Steam) "wish" list and as soon as it's available for Linux-based operating systems, I intend to buy it! It's not often I buy a game (on any platform) on Launch Day, but this is one of those few games I will probably make an exception for.

But those statistics are only based off those that receive the survey request and choose to complete the survey, right?

Not a very accurate way of documenting the actual hardware statistics, considering you're going to have a number of users refuse to participate and no way of ensuring a balanced collection of data... Valve Software should factor-in the number of Steam clients running on a given platform, either in the background or in-game.

There's no reason why Valve Software couldn't have such a data-collection method as an "opt-in" feature and it would surely have to be more accurate than the way they currently do things...

Although aware of it, I hadn't really looked into this much... Largely because I was only sort-of a Mega Man fan (though I've never played the "Mega Man X" games, which are supposedly much better than the originals).

I have to admit though, I just watched the video above and this sure looks impressive!

As long as this comes to Linux-based operating systems, I think I might pickup a copy...
