At long last. This has to be my most anticipated game for 2013 so far, along with Euro Truck Simulator. :)

Weeeell... OTOH if you're going to watch JdG, you better have a truckload (instant bad pun) of salt with you... And there's always the demo. :)

I'll be glad to do my part in proving said morons wrong ASAP... :D

Blizzard apparently bringing a game to Linux this year

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 7531, member: 1"Works a lot like Steam basically.
Erm... Nope. Steam has this thing called "offline mode". Go try that with Diablo III. :/

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 7534, member: 6"Why is it that the more developers a studio has, the more scared they are of multiple Linux distros? :rolleyes:
Because the odds increase no one will listen to the one in the corner saying "just go with tgz and be done with it, dammit"?

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 7527, member: 1"we can probably expect a lot more Ubuntu exclusives ending up in AUR within the first 20 minutes in the future.
FTFY.

More seriously, I couldn't care less. Blizzard, eh? Not a cash cow, sorry. Plus they can stick their DRM where the sun doesn't shine.

Steam's hardware survey is out with Ubuntu stats

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 7511, member: 1"0.8% are now Linux users and properly tracked

For the sake of completion, I beg to differ. Chances are the "Other" has quite a few other distros in it. So again, we have no proper numbers, but I guess somewhere around 1%-1.1% is a safe bet.

Mmh... Okay. Gotta grab for coffee, this is quite redundant with Bumadar's post. Sorry 'bout that. ^^"

Cheese Talks: More Cross-platform Humble Bundle Details Than You Ever Wanted To Know!

Still that would require some kind of deal with HB. And probably access to the sources for quite a bunch of games, which means some kind of deal with the devs too. And publishers where applicable. Can't say I don't like the sound of it though. xD

I'd rather not. I make no assumption as to what isn't in my hands. Just like I don't get my hopes up too fast after backing a project on Kickstarter or Indiegogo. Their having the means to fix it has nothing to do with their will, ability or time to fix it. Unfortunately.

Can't really say about Waveform, I got it on Steam, and it looks to be English only.
That's usually the first thing I check: the French localization. And it is a very uncommon occurence that I leave it on (without going through it myself if I have the time and the game looks good enough for my daughters). Hopefully they update the game and it is a nice surprise indeed, but I certainly won't bet my life on that... You'd be surprised how people are content with crappy, verbatim translations (and how devs sometimes don't seem to give a hoot when you notify them of a sloppy job).
But I could tell you a truckload of stories. See Harvest: Massive Encounter for example. Over 10 mistakes, typos and horrors (not errors, horrors) just on the title screen.
