Starbound Has Had A Lot Of Updates Recently

Quoting: OZSeafordThanks for promoting this, this is great news, but I am worried by the fact that I love Linux, and I love Terraria and have been waiting for starbound since it was announced, however, I had not heard that Starbound would be released on the Linux platform. Hopefully, I am but an isolated case, but if this is the case, then we need to spread the word.
Q. Which platforms will the game support?

A. Windows, Mac and Linux!
Taken from their official FAQ [External Link], link is at the top of the store's page :)

Will gog.com Ever Support Linux On Its Store?

There are already games on Steam that don't require steam to even be running, Steam already supports it.

Quoting: AnonymousI run Arx Liberatis using the Arx Fatalis files I purchased from GOG. I have advised people who have encountered 7kaa to buy the game on GOG, just to get the detailed manual. When I see The Panumbra Trilogy and Amnesia: The Dark Descent on GOG, I grit my teeth.
7kaa is open source though http://7kfans.com/ [External Link] pretty sure it's even in Ubuntu's repo nowadays.

Deep SIlver's AAA games could come to linux

Personally I don't buy any of Humble's bundles unless they are featuring cross platform games and I will always stick to that. I also don't buy any games on any sort of small promise of Linux support, I only buy games that the developers have said a flat out yes to a Linux version (like Natural Selection 2 for example).

I dual boot but that doesn't necessarily mean I actually use Windows it's around for emergencies for me. As my computer has a UEFI boot thing which for some reason grub fails to install properly onto every single time so I have to manually use boot recovery and if that fails...well then I need Windows to fall back on until things stabilise for me sadly.

Quoting: Grammar PoliceOh, maybe you meant "game Demos" ??
You've unnecessarily capitalized a common noun, namely "Demos".
Hah owned.

We will never be anything like Phoronix, I just tend to have a poor choice of wording over making shit up...

I have edited it to make it clearer. I hope that is sufficient.

I do tend to forget people have different thought patterns to me, Cheese is usually the first to slap me for that in IRC.

Planetary Annihilation price drop, planet editor and more

Quoting: RippedOffLol what a ripoff. Sucks to be the person who bought it for $90, then price slashed the next day. This is the reason why I wait for it to go $5
Things like this happen anywhere, prices change learn to deal with it. You will be waiting a long, long time if ever it gets as low as $5.

Quoting: Name"which is of course thanks to being in the bundle"

That's not obvious at all. How did you come to that conclusion? Source?
According to cheese who spoke to Jeff (Humble's owner) they are impressed with our numbers from the bundle.
Ok, then you should say that in the post, and put a link. It looks like you're just making it up otherwise.
It was from IRC.

Also why else would they be looking at it since they have no Linux stats other than from this bundle? There AMA is also because of the bundle, it's not hard putting them together to the conclusion of....it's because of the bundle.
