Alright guys, enough about the old title. In future, if you have comments to share about spelling, grammar and so on, we have a dedicated site function to provide such feedback. Where it says "For spelling, grammar and other corrections click here" in bold above the comments, so we don't pollute comments with stuff like that. We really don't need it continually pointed out ;)

Thanks all.

Quoting: GuestYeah, SDL2 sure keeps looking good. If my date with Godot doesn't turn out well, that's where I'm going next I figure ^.^
Well, Godot is a game engine and editor, SDL 2 is a library. Very different things.
No, you don't say... I never knew ! Not. :rolls_eyes:

What was the point of even saying this ?
Well, as said they're very different things. Your initial comment read like it was going from one game engine to another, nothing more. Take it easy :)

Title has been adjusted, as it seems Sakura Agent isn't actually on Linux, at least according to Steam.

Humble sometimes do get the icons wrong. In this case they haven't listed a Linux icon, on a title that does have a Linux version too.

As for people not happy with the original title, it was perfectly clear in English, as it was directly referring to the Bundle.

Minecraft: Story Mode for Linux never got released, even though it was “ready”

Don't get me wrong. I think it's mainly out of necessity not because the truly believe in it. However, their contributions are quite huge and most stuff is now even available in Linux (e.g. .NET core and VS code). So saying that they have a bad attitude towards open source isn't true at all anymore.
Yeah they do have a lot now, I quite liked VS Code as well, a good alternative to Atom.

Given M$ attitude to open source I would not be surprised at all.
Seriously? I recently read that Microsoft has more on github than any other company..

That talks about contributor count, not how much they have on github.

Quoting: chepatiRome, as they say, wasn't built in a day :-) There won't be a single killer game for linux that will overnight "win" the desktop. It will be a slow and seemingly desperate trudge towards that goal, with naysayers giddily proclaiming "See, I told ya, even game X wasn't sufficient to make linux popular enough for the masses." And then one day we'll realize that linux is popular enough and we have plenty of games to play.

Never give up hope.
You. I like you. That is all.

Quoting: SolitaryToo bad this kickstarted indie title became another "AAA" game after deal with Gearbox, now with pre-order bonuses, season passes and hiked up price.
It's not instantly a bad thing. For one, this could easily turn out to be one of the best new games released for Linux when it arrives, instead of being a smaller indie title. We do need bigger popular titles to help push us forward after all.

Wooo, love the style of it and considering the issues UE has, it's pleasing to see them get Linux in early. It means they might have more wiggle room for UE upgrades if they're needed too if enough testing is done early on.

Did you mean expansive? Although both are probably appropriate.
I mean exactly what I wrote ;)
