Thank you very much for your report! I'll be buying as soon as this runs acceptable with the open source drivers.

Looking forward to this.

Cities: Skylines was a great game and After Dark a gorgeous expansion.

XCOM ran perfectly fine with the open source drivers on my AMD HD6950, so there is that.
It was one of the first games I didn't even try out on Windows, because the performance on Linux was so good :)

Still no time these days, so I'll probably wait, although I do love XCOM.

Quoting: MaelraneIf you are not into sandboxes and pvp, then you are simply not the target audience. Easy as that. In the early days of mmorpgs, there were very few examples of instanced dungeons and stuff like that.

what does sandboxes MMORPG means? I have newer played Ultima online so I do not know. Is it like My online?

I go over this here, at the beginning (a bit): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBo80fpUKXY [External Link]

(Sorry for the unashamed self-promoting)

I'll gladly cover some gaming in the beta. I do hope the combat was fleshed out as that part was the least fun to me. It felt rather static, but that may just be me of course. I mean, I've grown older since my UO, AoC, WAR, WoW, LoTR and MO days :D

Great, have been waiting for this. The only thing that really hurts with the humble bundle is Contagion... *sighs* 4 more keys, and only viable on that other, proprietary OS :(

Sad (but even more sadly, expected) news :(

Quoting: subIt's not unrealistic that by now the dog of a sub-sub-sub-contractor is in charge for the port.
So don't hold your breath.

As a dogsperson I have to step in here now. Actually (my) dogs are very reliable. If I say sit, they sit... or they look cute. Either way, I am happy!

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: MaelraneSo any java game that runs on linux is not going to work then... *sighs* doesn't only hit java though.

(inb4 argument for/against java)

No jme-games on steam anymore :(

No. The game just needs to bundle any external dependencies. Many games bundle a local Java runtime on Windows and Mac (apparently). This should work on Linux as well. This is also perfectly legal as long as any relevant EULAs and licenses are properly displayed. Not ideal but that's third party runtimes for you. It's a hassle no matter the platform.

And does said game get a Linux-icon then? :)

Quoting: ImantsWell I won't miss them :D. But if we talk seriously then as I read this thread then
a) you will need to get licence permission from Orcle to use they're java and bundle it with game (it sounds pain in the ass and quite expensive)
b) you can use OpenJDK and bundle it with game (I hope not to big licencing issues)
c) valve gets java licence from Oracle and puts it in they're allowed libs (android runs on java so it should be theoretically possible for valve to do it right)

Once again, openJDK is the base for all (desktop) java versions nowadays. I see no reason why one would need proprietary software if there is free, open-sourced software to do the task.

It's actually quite funny, but not 50 bucks funny :D
