Valve's GDC slides on porting Source to Linux!

Quoting: XodetaetlThis chart is a deceitful joke... Don't count on me for the praise round.
Huh?
They cheat with numbers to make it look like Linux is big and growing. The logarithmic scale (with very small percentage indicators so most people won't see the cheating)  + not showing last month percentage of linux users.
You realise they did this before last months survey was out right?

Quoting: Mike FrettHey, just want to say I've been watching you and I think you do some good things. I actually bought a bundle for my brother to help move him into Linux and have thought about buying a bundle and trying to give it away to help new people on Linux, so thank you and keep up the good work!.
Thanks for the kind words!

The Humble Weekly Sale featuring Tripwire

Quoting: HamishThe reason is that the Humble sales always promoted a moral message which was against DRM and promoted cross-platform release. This is like a chemical company supporting environmental charities while at the same time dumping their products into the nearest river (although obviously considerably less egregious than that).
You just had to beat me at the analogies didn't you :P

Quoting: n30p1r4t3This isn't the humble bundle though, so are they really changed their ways? I appreciate sales  like  this.
It's the same company, so to me yes.

It would be like a "we love the earth" company, making a side company to ruin the earth...i know bad analogy but you get my meaning.

Quoting: HamishI hardly think putting in a bunch of Steamworks games is that much of an improvement. What ever happened to DRM free? To me this seems worse than being platform specific... :(
Sadly this is just the evolution of their business and it will just continue.

A good chance to get RO2 cheap for when it comes to Linux ;)

Shovel Knight - A groundbreaking love letter to 8 bits!
1 Apr 2013 at 11:40 am UTC

I will never play a "retro is over card" because I think all types of graphical styles will stay relevant forever. What I am fed-up with is 90% of indie's go for puzzle games and platformers...they are to me getting tiresome.

Shovel Knight - A groundbreaking love letter to 8 bits!

Quoting: HamishNo offence, but there are so many love letters to 8 and 16 bits from the Indie community that all other games are getting jealous. ;)
Indeed am I the only one getting a bit sick of "omg retro!" graphics and gameplay?
