So glad they are still going strong. I've been tracking the whole time and it's looking beautiful. This is a day one buy for me. That being said, anyone remember what engine Toren is being made in? I only know we're getting it too.

C4 Engine Drops Linux Support, Developer Says Linux Is Inferior

Quoting: BreezeNormally we should look at these Linux hating rants to better see the weaknesses of Linux game development. However, there is absolutely no substance in his post. Some configurations can be painful to install Linux (Windows too), but the rest of his complaints are pure garbage

"Linux has proven to be Frankenstein OS assembled from a disparate array of barely functioning parts with horrible reliability and little potential for future improvement."

None of those things are even remotely correct. It's so wrong I laughed when I read it. Linux game development has a lot of short comings, but he doesn't mention any of them.
Well, it's partially correct if you were to completely build your own Linux Distro from scratch. Otherwise....
