Does this play a little like the old Wing Commander games?
The Frostbite engine apparently has partial Linux support but that doesn’t mean we’ll get ports anytime soon

Ironically enough, they are the one publisher who could just foot the bill of going to Linux and laugh it off. For them, all the investments needed would be the equivalent of breaking the tip jar. The reason they never did was because they don't care.
The feeling is mutual, though.
Really, what was the last EA game that didn't completely suck, or was at least remotely original? I can't even remember, and I have been playing games for a while. EA is what happens if the Borg found a business. They assimilate everything they touch, but everybody having actual talent immediately quits the studios they keep buying, so what's left is a bunch of corporate drones producing boring, unoriginal, soulless yearly updates of the same five games they have been making since the fall of the Roman Empire, because that's all they are able to do.
I haven't bought from them long before I switched to Linux and I can't see me buying from them in the future, even if their stuff ends up running on Linux. *shrug*

We have a bunch of "Wild Terra Online" keys to give away (all gone!)

Not sure how we were supposed to grow by THAT much in one month, indeed. Chromebooks are indeed getting quite popular here, but I doubt that millions of people bought them all of a sudden last month. One should expect a more gradual increase. Let's see if the number is getting confirmed by more measurements in the coming months, otherwise I'd guess it to be an outlier.

Quoting: Ben DI'll look into this. There is a dearth of sports sims on PC besides NBA2k, and that's disappointing as a sports nut.Not that NBA2k would be available on PC.

So they managed to port the game more or less overnight after asking if people wanted? Including securing permissions?
That or they decided to port that game LOOOOOOONG before asking in public.
What's more likely?

Nice. Every time I think they have probably added everything there was to add, they come up with another idea!
Looks like GOG Galaxy won't come to Linux any time soon, as it's "not a priority"

Quoting: michaDepending on GoG Galaxy means, it's using a form of DRM essentially, right?Not as long as it isn't tied to a specific account using that platform. As long as the game doesn't care who's using the platform and the platform can be distributed freely, it's not DRM - as there no restrictions being enforced. It's essentially just a launcher in this case. Nobody would call Feral's launcher a DRM scheme either. :D

Well, in that case, I won't do any business with them anymore, unless they reconsider. Personally I am not into vintage games anyway (I played good old games when they were young) and I guess a lot of people don't know that, but most of the games they are selling don't have any DRM on Steam, either. *shrug*
