In the end I decided to purchase just so I could show Linux support.

It's, fun. But buggy for sure.

I think Valve is pinning a lot of it's future on SteamOS, and ultimately wants to diverge away from Windows.
So it is in their best interests to fix any/all issues that crop up.

Excellent points, I do hope Valve employees read this.

Come on people, of course it's low budget, it's indie. Give them a break!
Might pick it up later.

If that's his attitude, in glad I didn't give him any cash.

Still a damn shame though, I really hope he comes around, and solves the issue.

You know, the lack of punch in the release is all down to developers and publishers not doing what they should.
Blame them, not Valve.

Quoting: GuestThe only game I was looking forward to playing a bit of was Storm United. That it hangs my entire system and thus has been the only game I've ever gone for a refund with, makes it the biggest letdown for me.

Seriously? It's in alpha, or pre-alpha. It's in absolutely no-way finished. The least you could have done is try to figure out what was causing it. What drivers/gfx card were you using?

Man, I'm just dying to play Carmageddon. I was seriously hoping to see it this year.

Pffft...

Excuses. One after the other. They created an expectation, then failed to live up to it. They then made a series of poor choices, and took on too much work which then compounded it.

It sounds as if they have actual separate code forks for each platform, with a Windows code base being the main focus, and the other forks needing to be manually updated to that Windows branch. If this is the case.... Fuck me. They need to read a few books.

The proper, and should also be the *only* way to do it, is one freaking code base, with the platform code nicely compartmentalised so that the removal or addition of one absolutely does not affect the rest of the code.

Again and again, I see a heap of developers who seem to have just made seriously poor engine design choices, and don't know quite how to manage a multi-platform project. Do you know what other game has this exact same problem? Reflex, the Quake 3 style FPS. Promised Linux/OSX, focused on Windows + DirectX only. So fuck'em.

It's got echoes of Carmageddon all over.
I backed that game just for the Linux port, how long have we waited for that now?
