Updated with their 3rd reply, will not be asking them any more questions as it seems fruitless.

Quoting: LinasThat's a pain! Make sure to report it on their forum!Quoting: QuoteFixed script errors when the system locale used commas instead of periods as the decimal separator - A fix a lot of Linux users will no doubt loveThat does not seem to be fixed. I can only start playing if I start steam with C locale. Otherwise the screen just remains black. It is build 255, I checked.

I have updated with the next answer, I have to agree now they are basically doing a cop-out and using any reason they can not to support us considering what they just said.

Your other points are valid but it doesn't change the fact that it is extra work for developers (work in researching all these different ways and work actually doing them), work some don't want to do and they don't have to, it is after all their choice. We are the ones that chose an operating system with very low use rates compared with the others.
Don't get me wrong I obviously love Linux and gaming, these are just my personal opinions, I am allowed to have them.
As perfectly pointed out by our new member commodore256 you are a very far above average user, if you feel so strongly, why not send them your wise words yourself? :)

Quoting: DrMcCoyLots of stuff.Freedom of choice is great, but when the choice can be overwhelming and when that choice brings with it many many different ways for doing the same thing it can become a problem.

I have asked them what their issue would be with stating they only support the major distro's using Unity and Steam as an example but it took me a week to get this answer so stay tuned.

How can I not accept what they (gog) say? It's their choice, not mine.
I hear time and time again from developers who tweet to me, email me, talk to me on IRC etc about being confused on what to do for all the distros, what package type to use (deb, rpm, tar). If it's a concern from developers, we should be concerned too.
Distrowatch alone shows 100 different distro's, don't like to use them for stats but it shows my point some more.
It is a valid point. Hell a developer even tweeted to me just now http://twitter.com/AeornFlippout/status/375698476199186432 [External Link] (Makers of Race The Sun).

Quoting: DrMcCoyAlso, also:I am not being stupid for having a personal opinion of that I don't like the immense fragmentation we have, it is a valid point, why do you think Unity and Steam (possibly our two biggest players now) only official support Ubuntu?
Quoting: QuoteIt has often bugged me just how many distributions there areStop being stupid, liamdawe.
Quoting: Quotebut on Linux it is fair enough that it could be trouble for them when someone tries to install x game on "Look Ma I Built A Distro v4" that has some crazy new configuration somewhereNo, it's not. It's bullshit and they know it. Stop accepting said bullshit.

Quoting: KamilUnfortunately it's not possible to pay with PayPal (probably because they are non-profit), and I'm not willing to give my credit card number to Indiegogo. The Donate button on your page also leads to some unknown untrustworthy website. This probably discourages more people, not just me. They should at least set up a Flattr button, if nothing else.Just to check, by your do you mean theirs (0 A.D.) or ours?

I think you need to complete the B side to allow you to complete the A side. I guess more appears on A after you % up on B.

Quoting: GuestI've named 1 planet and 1 sun so far... still not sure what to do to finish side A though (found all structures, and have a bunch of circles pulsating but not sure what to do...)I've named like 3-4 places, didn't know you could name Suns?!

Quoting: HamishWhy the need for a new CPU? Since they are using the same engine, can the hardware specifications really have changed that much?Was meant for recording not for Amnesia. Recording makes my CPU crap out a little, AMD's APU's aren't known for their CPU power :(, going to go for an 8-core AMD next shouldn't have an issue there!
