True enough, I've changed that to just be a No. Was one I added in haste but didn't really think enough. You're right, using or not using is sufficient.

Quoting: Linas

Quoting: liamdaweI've now added it in as "Do you use Wine to play Windows games?".

What's the difference between no and never?

No you don't use it and never used it. Maybe I should make that more clear...

Quoting: poke86If you can manage, it might be interesting to know how many people use Wine.

Ah yes, that's probably a pretty relevant question to include.

I've now added it in as "Do you use Wine to play Windows games?".

Quoting: SeegrasEh, what? I just bought it and played it, on Linux.

This news is 5 days old ;). They put up a Linux version a few days after we put this up.

Quoting: PhiladelphusJust FYI that's the Avian ship set I believe—I just loaded up my pre-order copy of Synthetic Dawn to check out the new empire creation features, and there don't seem to be specific "Robot" ships. Kinda makes sense as these synthetic empires are explicitly said to be created by another space-faring race, so it's only natural they'd continue using ship designs (and city designs) that already exist rather than start from scratch.

Yeah it is, I've added a note below the pic to be clearer, should have done originally :)

Quoting: scaineHmmm, when he said "what about a native Linux port", I didn't get the impression that he was talking about "The End is Nigh". I imagined (perhaps optimistically) that he meant, "I've finished working on this, but I've also got an unannounced Linux port in the works".

Well the whole post was talking about that game specifically, and the fact that it's not native. Then he mentions to stay tuned about a native port. Seems obvious to me.

Quoting: tuubiWait, aren't Metroidvanias supposed to be platformers? I mean, this looks nice but isn't that stretching the concept just a bit?

*shrugs* it's how they describe it

Quoting: tuubiYou mean on store pages I assume? Exaggeration in any case.

Yes, on store pages, and no, not an exaggeration.

Then those need to be reported to Valve, since they clamped down on fake/art shots.

Quoting: Arthur"Since" SuperTuxKart? We're not dead yet. And unlike proprietary games, you actually continue to get improvements and can make your own improvements. It will continue to work, and you can see what it's doing. I get it though - I also play proprietary games. But considering how much time and money people have given to games never living up to their promises of Linux support among other things it's a little sad that STK is considered cold leftovers. But thanks for the mention, especially further down in the article.

I think you missed the point. While SuperTuxKart might be a nice open source title, it's not going to be a game that can really draw people in. Articles like this are meant as a point of reference for when people ask "are there any really good/recent Linux racing games?" and things like that.

SuperTuxKart has it's own special mentions whenever major updates are released. We gave it a boost with the Greenlight submission, and we covered the last few releases.
