Quoting: liamdaweI address that right at the top of the article ;)

Whoops! I kinda went straight to the benchmarks and the multiplayer section. Expected to find it there. Sorry about that! ^^;

Question: Is the multiplayer cross-platform? Would I be able to play with friends who play this on Windows?

It's currently on -40% sale on Steam. Is it worth picking up like this? Also, if I were to pick it up - does Steam count it as a Windows sale? I'd hate to give the dev's the impression that their Windows version is selling when I just wanna sit on it until Linux is out. Or should I wait for Steam Summer Sale? Or should I pick it up somewhere else altogether?

Quoting: TcheyYep, not many good RTS for Linux (yet ?), but still some good choices : [...]

I was referring to the RTS's that kind of feel like / play like the good old Age of Empires series. With lots of medieval armies and whatnot. But on your list are a few games I wasn't aware are out for Linux / aware of at all. Will check them out!

Awesome! This looks like a very significant boost to quite a bunch of games. I hope it gets deployed to the mainstream driver soon and we get to see it in the repos. Better performance is always good, specially for gaming.

Sadly there's little we can do to further the development of Linux games except for supporting those who keep their promises and release on Linux. I'm sure there's developers out there who want to tap into the Linux gaming market without exploiting it.

Buying because "Linux is promised" seems like pre-ordering to me - you just buy the promise, and usually people have a hard time keeping their promises.

I'd love to see a nice RTS released on Linux though. There's only 0AD out there, which has been in development for years and somehow doesn't seem to be making much progress.

I gave it ten minutes to see how it faired, and I guess it's a lot like the Souls games. Died three times, and that made it quite a lot more exciting than I thought it'd be. The controls do feel extremely slippery though and therefore you feel like your opponents get an edge just because your keyboard didn't work the way you meant to (to be fair, on the main steam page it says that a controller is recommended).

I'm excited for this one and will definitely keep my eyes open for updates.

Looks like the developer has generally given up on the game. I've been randomly clicking some threads on the Steam Community forums to find that nobody seems to get any kind of answer.

I'm certainly passing on this one.

Go Linux! I'm super happy that we're finally getting a decent flow of AAA games to our machines. I'm excited for this game!
