Quoting: VedzomEven if the promise is fulfilled, the Linux porters won't get the money if people buy the game before the port.

The Linux porters are the developers themselves, so either way they get the money. The more important things are:
a) Not being counted as a Linux sale
b) Waste of money for a Linux gamer

Quoting: boomanThis new IndieRoyal bundle has all Desura games which includes 3 Linux games.
Why would they advertise Desura and Linux if the client is no longer downloadable?

As pb said, you don't have to use the client for Desura, they have web downloads just like GOG.

Quoting: FutureSutureI don't follow. The Steam Hardware & Software Survey, for October of 2014, mentions a Linux user market share of 1.12%. Where did 1.18% come from?

It seems Valve adjusted the survey after both we and Phoronix reported on it, as Phoronix also had a 1.18% mark on their article.

Quoting: adolsonIt's good that they took it in-house, but... Because Ryan's busy? Really? Maybe it's just me, but I think there's more to it than that.

Ryan seems to be quite anti-GamerGate, judging by his tweets.
RWS on the other hand, is very pro-GamerGate.

It's business and all, but I'd be hard-pressed to not at least consider this as being a huge factor. It is suspicious timing, if you ask me. Ryan has been busy since Loki disbanded...

I had the sane thought about the gamersgate stuff which forced me to unfollow RWS.

I asked Ryan about it, but he said he didn't know RWS supported them and he said he hopes they change their minds.

Quoting: SkullyI don't think the swearing is appropriate, especially in the article itself. Unless your trying to fit in with the trash at linuxgamecast.com

Well I do think it is, and we aren't a super posh publication, so I will swear from time to time.

Besides it's just a little word. It won't harm anyone, nor do I really care at this moment.

Quoting: SkullyVery fun. Finished it already. Didn't find a single bug/problem. Now I am looking forward to this even more. Similar style to play as Portal.

How was the performance for you?

It's odd, but something is making me feel like it's sluggish.

Edit > I turned on the FPS counter and WOW LOW FPS.

It had my CPU set to ULTRA and everything else set to HIGH in the performance section. Heh their auto detect fails.

I have also as per your small suggestion made it so selected stores are kept highlighted when you filter, hope it helps!

To be fair the firefox auto rss button would have always pointed to the main article RSS as the sales RSS has never been in our meta, it's only on the link on the page.

Clicking a single sale from the RSS should now take you to the page with just that sale :), so you can either visit that sale, or reset the filters to see all of them.

Well if it's free for now...sure why not.

It's no wonder people sink so much time into it as most of the time at the start is learn what the f u c k you're doing.

Really? F u c k? OK...

I love your articles and am glad you're back, but I honestly don't think that language is necessary.

I am downloading the game now, I really like World of Tanks, but this looks just as good and works on Linux!

EDIT: OK, so I can't say f u c k in a comment but it's OK in an article. Nice.

It's allowed in comments, but a warning comes up stating that it's not always needed.

The reason it is in place for comments is to stop people attacking each other. Having one little word in an article is not an issue. Don't make a meal out of it.

If you bothered to read our rules (link above the comment box), you would know this.

Ps. No need to comment the same thing twice ;)

Edit > I am in the process of removing the notice though I don't think it's needed since we turned off guest comments.
