Broken Sword 1 Directors Cut & 2:Remastered Now On Steam For Linux

Quoting: AnonymousThese Broken Sword games are yet another example of games available through other distribution methods
I just deleted a long rant I wrote here about how the Broken Sword games are not anywhere else.

At the time that article was written, the Broken Sword games were not in the Humble Store. In fact, you couldn't get the games for Linux anywhere else except Steam (and the second game in the Humble Bundle). I know, I checked. (Which is the reason Liam wrote "The Humble Bundle is the only place right now to get Broken Sword 2 for Linux outside of steam".)

This has actually changed now. The games are now in the Humble Store. :)
Exactly, what I write about is 99% true at the time - barring oversights.

GOL is not a steam-only place, but we focus on it heavily because developers do.

Quoting: GuestDesura still crashes every time when loading a game page [External Link], after several months, so why mention them? They don’t even care.
Indeed, they new Linux client is being worked on though, once the new Windows version is out the Linux one will be worked on.

Quoting: Anonymous$40 isnt too bad considering it's a AAA game, most of them go for $60 or more.
Indeed, it's comparable to most big budget games, but compared to most games on Linux it's quite a bit more.
Are u seriously? Did u think that game bussiness are heading for linux for carity...better linuxers spend same game average money on linux version of games..if not ...
You are missing the point of what I said. I am not saying it is too much. I backed Planetary Annihilation for double that cost just FYI.

I simply stated a fact, it is more expensive than most games Linux gamers are used to paying for. That is not a bad thing, the game looks amazing so far.
