League Of Legends Not Coming To Other Platforms
24 Mar 2015 at 4:40 pm UTC

1 big reason why LoL won't come to Linux is, that its Launcher makes heavy use of Adobe AIR, which dropped Linux Support quite a while ago. So, in order for it to be portable to linux, they would have to create a whole new client. it's sad, really. With the OSX-Port, the game already runs on OpenGL (and you can change some config file in the windows-version to use OpenGL).

Oh well, LoL runs quite okay-ish in WINE & I am a Dota 2 fan anyway. We got enough MOBA's in linux...
Dota 2, Heroes of Newerth, Strife, ...
Just not the most popular one :S

Paradox Believe Great Games Fight Piracy

I may have pirated games in the past *cough* or not *cough*.
I played these titles ( namely "Portal 1" & " Orcs Must Die!" ) for a few minutes and then bought them, simply because they were so damn good :D
I was 15 then and still on Windows (heh). I haven't pirated ever since. I noticed that developers should be supported, not taken out.
I have a few friends that still pirate games that do not have demo's in order to judge if they want to buy the game or not...

A really nice view on the matter, Paradox has there. I'm totally broke at the moment, but that game sure looks fun. I'll buy it as soon as my wallet is re-filled :)
