What bugs me personally about all of these games is you have to specifically know the IP address or sift through lots of servers for the correct name to join a friend.

They all (Alien Arena, Red Eclipse, Warsow etc) need even a really simple friends list (like steam only far simpler) where you can just invite/join a friend, all it needs to do is track the IP of the server they are on it's that simple. They already have all the joining code they can piggyback off of for when you manually join a server. They could make it far easier with small things like that.

But no they all seems to focus on "must make players run and jump higher/faster, must make this shinier, add more bloom!"

Alien Arena is one of the finest quake style shooters though that's for sure. I just got a bit tired of them a few years ago.

Personally I won't cover the release, his still constant bitching about Linux and being a twat makes me not want to give him any more exposure, I won't stop anyone else though. I ranted on reddit about it here for anyone interested: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1fw4p8/garrys_mod_linux_sales/ [External Link]

Seems everyone agrees with me, he's an idiot. The store doesn't even state it has Linux support neither does his website, masses of people already own it from bundles and sales etc. Yet he still takes to twitter to basically "show off" low Linux sales to spread crap again.

I do not like him.

I can try in the future but a lot of my focus is sorting out the new design at the moment :)

We still have a lot of indies releasing outside of HIB and Steam, we also have Planetary Annihilation which will have a Linux version in a few weeks (Alpha keys just started rolling out) so we will finally have a big RTS game as well (it will be on Steam and outside Steam).

Desura is also quite a big player for anyone who isn't a fan of Steam which adds new titles almost every week, so I wouldn't worry too much.

What I worry about is developers who only release on Steam, that's annoying.
