Developers are looking for testers to play 'Unearned Bounty', a pirate MOBA in Alpha state; FREE keys offered

I got the key too. Game works on Linux, but it's nothing interesting yet. It's an early alpha build, so there is much content and actual gameplay to be added.

Meanwhile I am still waiting for the Linux version of Atom Zombie Smasher to be put on Steam :( It was one of the most entertaining games from early Humble Indie Bundles :)

When should i386 support for Ubuntu end? Help Canonical decide

Quoting: Mountain Man
Quoting: hardpenguinIf they drop 32 bit repos, it will be a disaster. The gaming industry still ships 32 bit-only applications. Wine is 32 bit only for 32 bit Windows software (because it's not an emulator).

If you want to run games on Linux, you cannot drop 32 bit software.

And no, it is not possible to ship the 64 bit version in every possible case.

Not to mention, that Windows and macOS are going to support 32 bit applications for years to come!
I think you're misunderstanding what is actually being discussed. Go to the survey page itself, and you'll find this disclaimer: "Running i386 (multiarch) software on amd64 will continue to work and is not part of the current survey."

So they're not contemplating dropping support for 32-bit software, only support for 32-bit operating systems.

Alright! I couldn't find this information in a hurry. Thanks a lot!
