Damn it. Read that list too fast. Saw, and was briefly excited by the idea of, "LuftTrousers".

As much as I hate repeating what's already been said, my reasons are the same as many people here.

The basic question: Why do I game/want-to-game on linux? Linux is my primary desktop OS. I have no desire to dual-boot, run a second computer, etc exclusively for gaming. It's a waste of money/power/etc. So, given the choice, I prefer to game on linux. More recently, with the rush of games natively running on linux (and BIG thank yous to Feral, among others for their efforts here), there has been less and less need to have that other-install.

As others have mentioned, my preference for linux is driven by a number of factors, but not the least of which are the freedom and the security. I don't mind paying for software at all, but I appreciate having the freedom to adjust things the way I'd like. I, too, have issues with Unity and choose to run Cinnamon instead, and will never use Windows 8 because I *can't* make that kind of modification.

It's got a lot of great, must-buy things.

What it *doesn't* have is any hint of a release date. In fact, they've been back-pedaling on the topic of the Mac/Linux release and going hard-radio-silence on the matter for the last several weeks. Very, very frustrating.

Lots of Football Manager 2014, a bit of Wasteland 2, a surprising amount of Victory At Sea this week and always Civ 5.

Also been spending a fair bit of time monitoring forums, twitter, etc for any bits of info on the linux versions of Civ: Beyond Earth, and to a much lesser extent Clockwork Empires and the Borderlands 2 prequel. And still looking for any decent, *native* linux MMOG - but not holding my breath.
