Earth 2140 the futuristic RTS game is coming to Linux

Quoting: HamishPeople should keep in mind that Runesoft are doing this to port more of their old catalogue to Linux, rather than just grabbing new tittles. Personally, I applaud them for it.
Not just that, they update their older titles to fix bugs like their other Linux ports on Desura.

Quoting: ublangotaSo this game was released before Starcraft 1. Guess that does not mean it cannot be good but that combined with their affiliation with TopWare who have done some pretty questionable anti-piracy work [External Link] makes me not very interested.
That was for 2160 not for 2140 and Runesoft are a completely different company as well who don't use DRM or any anti-piracy tactics like that.

Personally I feel Runesoft are worth supporting.

Steam's April hardware survey shows poor Linux statistics!

As usual i disagree cheese, since we are talking single digit percantages here a .13% decline and a decline two months in a row is a negative.

Nothing sensationalist about it.

How can anything be "holding steady" when in decline two months in a row?!

It's quite a genius idea and can certainly help you see how many people pirate I guess, looks like a studio worth investing a few bucks in..if they fix the Linux bugs that is.

Also to note on this post [External Link] it seems the game may not actually work on Linux:
yes, I'm sorry. the full version is available on Linux but since our release yesterday we got several reports that things are not quite working (our test was fine), thus it would be silly to release a linux demo right now...
So it would be silly of them to release a Linux demo but sell a full game for it...right?

Wrong.  Desura does not.  I just explained that. :-(
Indeed it's up to the developers of the games if they have stand alone downloads, client downloads or both on Desura.

INSURGENCY team-based realistic FPS coming to Linux

Holger I'm not sure what you are getting at. You are saying PC is a common term...so am I.

The developers (and a lot of others) are saying PC = Windows which it does not.
