Quoting: EagleDeltaNo matter what they promised, no matter what we expect, their #1 goal is to make money... nothing else.

Sorry, but that in no way justifies screwing over those who invested money in Kickstarter or otherwise purchased the game based on the promise of a day-one Linux release. In fact, they had a moral obligation to release a Linux version the day the Kickstarter goal was met, so don't pretend they'll be doing us a favor if they actually release it.

Quoting: wojtek88Like always when there is a topic regarding Divinity: Original Sin - I hope all of us will follow me and won't support Larian Studios because they don't deserve our support. The only scenario to buy this game is super cheap sale with -90% price when the game is released on linux (or maybe I should use "if" instead of "when").
Otherwise your euros can be spend better. If you don't have Pillars of Eternity - buy it. If you don't have Torchlight 2 - buy it. If you don't have Sword Coast Legends - buy it. If you don't have Witcher 2 - buy it. But for the God's sake don't support developer who that takes from people money and after year and a half of Windows release laughs on those who believed in Linux port and does not provide them a product.

You forgot Wasteland 2!

For that matter, you can even buy Linux-compatible versions of Bioware classics like Baulders Gate 1 and 2, and Icewind Dale.

There's no need to waste a single penny supporting Larian.

Quoting: AkamanahFuck this devs. I will download from torrents.

Wrong attitude. If you have any interest in the game, even after all of the bullshit, then you need to buy it. Stealing it doesn't make you any better than the developers. There are actually a number of excellent RPGs available for Linux these days, so why not simply buy one of those instead?

Quoting: mr-eggI still think valve should of rolled their own Linux desktop distro and integrated it tightly with their own DE, compositor + apps and their steam client with two boot up menus, one for desktop and one for big picture.

They did. It's called SteamOS.

What a shocking turn of events!

Seriously, screw these guys. They have zero integrity and don't deserve our money or our support.

Quoting: Mountain ManWell, this all sounds rather disappointing. They name check Dragon Age: Origins in the advertising, so I was hoping for another in-depth sword and sorcery RPG with meaningful choices and consequences, but it seems to be a one dimensional action game. Apparently the game doesn't even support proper dialog trees.

The campaign does have branching dialogue and choices to make, though I'm not far enough in to be able to tell if the choices have meaningful consequences or if it's just window dressing ala The Walking Dead. It's the Dungeon Master tools for creating your own adventures that currently do not support branching dialogue.

Oh, O.K. I was under the impression that the game didn't support branching dialog at all.

I think I'll keep my eye on this one and see if the editing tools improve at all, but at the moment, I'm making my way through Wasteland 2: Director's Cut, and there's Pillars of Eternity which keeps kicking the crap out of me at every turn, so I really don't have time for another RPG at the moment.

Valve's explanation actually seems rather reasonable. If they're selling a Linux game through Steam then they want to ensure that it will work on any version of Linux that's running Steam, which means linking against the Steam libraries. I don't have a problem with that.

@Swiftpaw

Good question.

Be sure to opt in to the Steam client beta. I went to add this entry to my Kubuntu install and noticed that it was already there.
