Well, that's can't be real.
No way the Arabs have any chance in real life war against US/UK ;)

Quoting: "gbudny, post: 5025"This is truth.
However since 2001 to 2009 they spent time and money on porting games to Linux PPC, Alpha, Sparc and x86-64 instead porting more new games to Linux x86-32.

Actually x86-64 is good because it's current, many more people use it today than 32-bit.
I use 64-bit and anyone with 4+ GB of RAM (unless they use PAE Kernel ;)).
Any PC today is 64-bit.

I don't think that at 2012 they need to spend time and money on PPC, Sparc and Alpha.

Maybe they should choose easier games to port ?
If they see that the code is a mess and it's problematic, then port a different game.
I'm sure you can get all the technical details before you buy the porting rights.
Also as I've said before, use different porting/licensing approach.
Licensing an old game and trying to live of the sales is suicide.
Instead, try to release the Linux port closer to the release date of the game - and live of the % of Linux sales.
Hib anyone ?
Kickstarter ?
There are lots of opportunities out there, you need to evolve.

It's better that we get 3 Linux games a year from LGP, than zero.

I love LGP and all they done for Linux gaming, but times have changed and they must evolve.
One thing I could not understand....why Ryan Gordon ported much more games than LGP (and newer games) ?
I think LGP should not be porting old games, but as suggested before try to port game that are in production and get funds from Linux sales (40% to them 60% to the developers- or something similar).
Posting good 10 year old games is a bad idea.

They don't have to license the porting and sales rights, that as it seems never covers the costs.
Also they need to choose games that are easier to port, games that use more Linux friendly engines.

I thought about pledging, but the hardware specs are very very low, it's not even close to todays consoles (ps3, xbox360,wii) and it cannot run those hi-end games.
I would really wanted to play Tekken5 , Street Fighter4, MK9 without buying an expensive console, but I guess this android console won't be able to run them even if they got ported to Android somehow.

The only games I would be able to play are the games I can currently play on my Samsung Galaxy S2 device, and some Linux games...
So it seems like it doesn't worth it for me at this point.

With PayPal and Amazon I would donate, but I'll check out skrill sometimes later when I get home...

Also, put a donation matter so people will know were we stand.

I hear because of Adobe Air version mismatch (Adobe Air stopped supporting Linux), the game would not run on some systems. (heard complains but didn't try for myself).

As I've written in LGN, while the 1st game will support Linux, the second game might not - it's publishers call.
So I dunno if it's wise to pledge $50 in hopes that the second game will also have a Linux client.

I've pledged for only one game, if the second one will have a Linux version - we can always decide to buy it later.

Plus - I suck at quest/adventure games ;)
