The latest id engine is probably capable of supporting Linux, but they chose not to port Rage as Carmack claimed Linux doesn't sell.

Trouble is they never actually sold Linux versions just offered them as a download, so he was talking out of his ass.

Quoting: berarmaI've written in the Desura forum in hopes they take Desura customers more seriously. I shouldn't have bought it until completed.

The Desura version is really old due to Desura not supporting multiple branches of releases.

They are hoping to put the latest test up as stable on both Steam & Desura.

Right now none I can think of, but we have the ones mentioned at the bottom of the article coming.

Quoting: ChazzaAbout distros being hidden, I don't think they are being hidden. I think it's just that steam can't detect them. I've found that if you have linux standard base (lsb) installed then steam will detect your distro correctly. I'm on Arch and without lsb installed my os is detected as Linux 3.10 (64 bit) but with lsb installed my os is detected as "Arch Linux" (64 bit). Try installing lsb and checking System Information in steam. In Arch the package is called lsb-release. Presumably it's called something similar in other distros.

No, they are being hidden: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/steams-hardware-survey-now-shows-many-distros.1845

They had the ability to show them before, they now don't.

Quoting: Abhishek chatterjeePetition for Rockstar Games to Bring Games to Linux

I'm currently running a petition on Change.org for Rockstar Games to bring their games over to the Linux platform. Any Linux users who like GTA should take a look at this.

Quoting: AnonymousI find these numbers really interesting! Games need to be sold for a bright future of Linux gaming. If you've got more of these numbers, good or bad, an overview article would be nice as well.

I actually did that twice already:

I've added a HS link, kinda pointless since it's Steam only ;) but happy to act on feedback.

It's always the same story sadly, "I need x game to work" as more developers slowly do come over we will rise.

I really do hope Steam Machines don't crash and burn as that would be quite the disaster for us all.

Fullu agree with Sabun, a community is what pushes anything like this and Desura have made small steps to better their community.

For example they recently (at my request, again) merged their Desura group/page forum and their actual forum as it splintered the community for no reason.
