"The problem on top of all this, is that it will put off the very people working on such projects from continuing and if your business relies on their work—good luck doing it yourself."
except that they can hire someone with the money they did with the rip offs..

also, its a bit ironic that most of the users of the emulators are pirates, and people are "pirating" their code...

level editors are fine and all but, shouldnt we be supporting, i dont know... OPEN SOURCE GAMES?
nah, just lets lock OUR content to an proprietary runtime.

come on guys, an OSS game should give us much more freedom than just an level editor in theory, but if no one fund one that aint gonna happen...

Quoting: elmapul" Resident Evil 5"
was an exclusivity deal with shield, it dont run in any other android

Yeah, but if Atari launched a Android device with Tegra X1, im pretty sure that both capcom and Nvidia(who ported the game) would like an increase in sales with zero cost.

Doom 3 was one of the games working in the Pixel C for example, so it's not impossible that other games were ported to a new device with Tegra X1 and Android

that make a hell lot of sense if it sell well.
otherwise they will ignore it due to the support cost (yes there is aways a cost)

+1 for the linux version.

wait, what ? isnt that what this topic is about?
i guess they were tired of this kind of spaming

and, looks like valve is quite "optmistic"....
2000 persons want the game on windows, but only 2 on linux want the game on their example...

worth mention that this game made enough sucess to become an anime...

you know, it cost tons of yen to make an anime, so the little fact that it made enough sucess to become one may rise the hype for this game.

Quoting: WJMazepasIt's not Android, nor Android or Chrome OS works with AMD CPU. And if they were using Android they would say it rather than saying its linux because to Android is more known to the general public than linux

android DO run on x86, i dont know why it would be compatible with AMD.

Quoting: dannielloThird: Netfix/HBO/Amazon require DRM and HDCP support (for resolution bigger than 720p). There is no HDCP support in Linux at all. HDCP is supported by Android...

linux has DRM support on Firefox and Chrome, not that this is a good thing...

Quoting: ColomboWould be fun if Ataribox was sneaky Steambox, where Valve is trying a bit different concept of Steambox, with specific brand image and specific target group. Get more traction on linux gaming platform, have have number of support staff that can solve linux-specific issues before they roll out with more general-use box.

that is my only hope.
Atari alone is not strong enough, but with valve help....
