And there I was hoping for an exclusive ;)
He also sent me the news and the full version to review (about an hour ago), but you beat me to it.
Guess I'll *might* publish in-depth review if you won't do it first :D

@Hamish
Sure, I understand your view as I used to think the same.
I would never have bought a non Linux native game - but now my line is drawn elsewhere.
For me if it's cheap and old enough (gog.com) and runs on Wine - then I'll consider paying for it.
Because once the games get this old - the developers usually do not care so much about them.

Some people will only play free source games.

It's all a matter where you draw the line.

But my line still says "No Wine games on LGN" ;)

@Hamish : Although many gamers love Majesty, I didn't like the game at all, so I'm not too thrilled about the sequel.
Also imo games to be ported need to not work with Wine as if they already runnable then wasting 4-5 years just to have a native Linux client for a game that runs fine with Wine is a waste.

I would prefer porting games that do not run on Linux, like Gothic 3, 4 , Risen etc...

And about his Facebook, as he updates his status for the "common folks" who do not even know what is Linux, he can't be technical - so he says "worked all night, time to get some sleep..." sort of things.

But sure he can update his LGP blog more.

@liamdawe : well except his Wii fit updates and calories gained afterwards he also says sometimes about how hard he works.

I really hope it's unannounced title and not too old one.
Sacred 2 + Expansions, I will buy for the right price.

Sadly there is no chance they will ever port "The Witcher", but the sequel does have *some* chances to be ported someday.

@Brandon Smith :
Couldn't resist and bought Disciples 2 Gold from gog.com .
Sorry but there is a limit on how much I can wait for a game, and if I get it without the expansions at higher price (x4) - it's not worth it for me.

Off course LGP are alive, I see Michael updating his Facebook status every day ;)

The sad thing is that I gave up on old games and I sin by buying many games from GOG.com that work on Linux.
It's not something that I'm proud of, and not something I want to publish on LGN - but that's the truth.

liamdawe :
I've spoken to one of the FrozenByte developers via the chat option in the Bundle and asked him about the bugs as they really made the game almost unplayable.
He said that the ports have been improved (by the same people who made the original ports, now named Alternative games) and that the Windows game will also get a Linux port soon.

And Trine2 will be ported to Linux.

I'll post about it on LGN (we are not dead....yet).
;)

Although I already have some of the games I'll definitely contribute more.

And I've been told by the developers that the "Windows" game in the bundle is being ported to Linux and Mac.

O, and they fixed a lot of bugs in the SG games (which made the game unstable and crashed it very often).

Quoting: "tweakedenigma, post: 1340"I am a little disapointed to see the numbers so low, However it looks like I might be buying two copies as I have heard a Mac Version will also be released and the GF will enjoy this game too.

I hope you right, but from what I keep hearing (and asking Unigine and getting the same answer) No MacOS port of Unigine is planned ... why ? I really don't know.
So if the engine won't support MacOS then sadly the game won't be native ...

On the other hand I *might* have some EXCELLENT non unigine related news soon... (when I will confirm this and find the time to post).

Although I own most of the games I've donated $10 for the Bundle.
