Linux sales represent...less than 0.5% overall. So it’s difficult to say if it has been worth the trouble.

Of course, it isn't officially released yet and I am sure I'm not the only Linux user who is waiting for the game to be completed.

I'm basically waiting or CHKN to exit early access in order to buy it. It looks like it's going to be Spore for psychopaths.

I'm feeling less than lazy today so let's see, they're both:

- flanked by jutting stone cliffs
- low grass with sparse tree distribution
- large rocks embedded in much of the environment
- mysterious alien megastructures

That, coupled with a high tech shootout taking place, conjures up the same atmosphere that Halo had. Although the gameplay looks a lot like Sir, You Are Being Hunted. I look forward to a Linux release.

Quoting: GuestI switched to Linux few months back because of Malware 10 and the shady Microsoft tactics. I've gotten 3 more people to install Linux since and I'm planning to keep doing that. There are quite a few people who ask me for computer advice.
I doubt that I'm the only one doing this.

Yup, I've been responsible for deploying Mint into a few different homes. Doubtful that hobbyists have much sway but with the exception of graphics drivers, distros as polished as Mint are ready for prime time with the average user.

Something about the environment reminds me of Halo.

Great to see this join Allied Assault and Tripwire's entries into the WWII genre! I'm guessing you don't need Insurgency installed in order to play?

GOG really should just expose an API and leave client development to the rest of the world.

They are in the early stages of deteriorating Linux support as with anything else MS-acquired (see: Skype...). This is planned and while they may not outright break Minecraft on Linux, they will slowly ensure it stays several steps behind and an becomes eventual pain to use. This is why I had taken up interest in Minetest [External Link] back when the sellout occurred and I encourage everyone else to give it a try.

The theming is perfect for playing along to the likes of Audiomachine or Two Steps From Hell or whatever cinematic orchestra scoring.
