You earn booster packs every time you level up, you can also earn extras by playing against the AI in at least 9 single player battles too.

Buying into it now gives you access to 20 booster packs.

Yes.

Quoting: marvin2711This game is being bombed back to the stone age in the Steam reviews. Not cool, we need more good games on Linux.
I linked and explained why they are, and I don't agree with the bad reviews. People being silly as usual using reviews to vent things they were never promised.

Quoting: mattsturgeon4.5 also has a lot of fixes for the xpad driver, including a fix for a really annoying crash [External Link] in a lot of games that was related to controller vibration (or sometimes LEDs)
I did wonder when that was going to finally be put in.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance doesn't look like it will come to Linux any time soon

Quoting: BreezeGame isn't released yet and they say they still want to support Linux. Maybe they will Larion us and get us a nice polished client 2 years after release, I wouldn't mind that. You guys freak out too easily. There is no easy path for a Linux client right now, but they will probably figure out one eventually
What? Was that a serious comment? People right here on GOL pledged money for the Linux version, people have a damn right to be annoyed.

Quoting: Maokei
Quoting: KimyrielleI bet it's yet another middleware issue.

I find it so hilarious that many studios not only announce but sort of sell (I know that legally backing a product on KS isn't regarded a sale, but still) Linux support, but then build their product for Windows only, without even thinking about how to get it to run on the other platforms they planned to deploy on. And halfway through the development process it suddenly occurs them that they maneuvered themselves into a Windows only corner.

Can I call that "unprofessional"? Because that's what it is.
Unprofessional is what it is, if they are going to offer cross-platform support they better maneuver the project in that direction and not base their game around crap middleware/game engines, and then go oh thanks for the money but you know what "NO GAME FOR YOU!".
Completely agree.

ANY project that wants to do Linux support should at the very least test it before putting it as a platform.

Sunday fun: Theme Hospital on Linux using the open source CorsixTH engine

Quoting: commodore256
Quoting: zikzakThis game is great, if only Theme Park had the same engine.
Next is OpenSyndicate?
Freesynd already exists.
Sadly, Freesynd doesn't really see any activity.
