Quoting: ShmerlWould be nice if they also focus on KDE as the primary supported DE, and will help speeding up its development.

Personally I would rather xfce became their primary and only de but thats because I like the fact its very memory efficent and i have plenty of ram i just dont like bloat code that comes with a vanilla kde base.

I've heard this argument before, but it makes little sense to me. As the saying goes, empty RAM is wasted RAM. I've been using KDE for years, and it has never been anything other than fast and responsive for me, even when I'm running a RAM intensive piece of software like GIMP, so I've never understood the frequent complaints I hear about KDE "bloat" and "inefficiency".

Quoting: TcheyI can't believe after all these years, no other game manage to catch the same feeling from Black & White.

You mean that feeling of disappointment when you realized that Peter Molyneux blatantly lied about a number of promised features, and that the game was little more than a short-lived novelty?

Quoting: ShmerlLot's of small hidden interactions. Trying to interact with a power socket gives an electric shock :)

Pretty sure that was in Duke Nukem 3D, too.

But, yeah, this game is definitely a labor of love.

Quoting: DuncMy only niggle would be that the price is maybe a little steep for something based on 20-year-old tech...

What does that matter? The team at Voidpoint still put hundreds (thousands?) of hours of work into it, and they're charging less than half of the current going rate for a new AAA release. I think it's more than fair.

Seems like every time these guys make an announcement about Linux, they live up to their name.

Quoting: Mountain ManHere's where I stand on this whole issue:

I'm done with begging for ports. If you release for Linux, then I will consider buying your game. If you don't, then I won't.

It's as simple as that.

I continue to be amazed at how some people think. We are and continue to be a niche platform, sometimes developers need a little push. There's a massive difference between showing support... And begging. Claiming its begging its ridiculous.

They can look at the install base. They can look at general sales statistics. They can look at similar games and see how well they sold on Linux. Asking on a forum is probably the worst way to conduct market research since they'll undoubtedly be flooded with responses from people who have no interest in the game but want to show their support for Linux, or people who are interested in the game simply won't see the post. Either way, the results will be neither accurate nor meaningful. And more often than not, it seems to me that when a developer says they're trying to "gauge interest" in a Linux port, what they're really saying is that they're looking for an excuse not to support Linux.

Sorry if I'm cynical, but if there are developers out there who still haven't figured out that Linux is a viable platform for their product then I'm really not interested in going out of my way to try and convince them.

I think "stupid expensive" is the best description.

I tried GameMode recently with Batman: Arkham City using Proton, and it runs like a native Linux game. Amazing work.
