Awesome!

I have purposely held back from playing this as well, although I purchased it a year or more ago. Played it for a couple hours and liked it a lot. This is exciting news! I have a feeling this game will be fantastic!

Announcing a new fun venture for me: Our sister site LifeOnLinux

Awesome! Registered and bookmarked.

I am hoping in the future GoL and LoL meld together on one big site. I mean, shared logins, shared forums, links at the top leading to each page, etc. I understand going this route and somethings need to be seperate. But one large site covering everyhting Linux would be great in my opinion.

Anyways in the end I think this is awesome and look forward to seeing how it develops. Well done!

Quoting: pb
Quoting: Nor MantisI look at games much like I look at music. When I was a kid I purchased records only. Then I got a car and wanted to listen while driving, so I bought the same music on tape. Then CD's came and I bought the same music again. Then MP3 came in and I paid to download. Now records are back in and once again, I am buying the same music I love.
It's not the same as having to buy the tape again each time you switch a car. ;-)
The car is not a platform, same as the PC is not a platform. The tape deck is the platform, same as the OS is a platform.

Quoting: TheRiddickThen you and others who look at it like that are shortsighted I'm sorry to say.

Its about platforms, CD VHS MP3 are all different media platforms that can run on different devices. WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS PC, PC is NOT multiple platforms, it is ONE! GET IT? I hope so.
Sorry I don't get it. In my opinion PC is not a platform, the OS is the platform and no different than a Saga Genesis and a Super Nintendo, a VHS or Beta-Max, BlueRay or HDdvd, CD's or records, Netflix or Amazon. That is why it is called cross-platform gaming.

I agree with Liam on this.

I am so torn with this. I absolutely love CK2, but have fallen behind with the DLC, when I add it all up it is way to much, I wait for a sale and I just cannot bring myself to spend. One day, one day, I will have the complete package of CK2, but not toady. With Stellaris I am going to try and keep up. This looks, as usual, amazing.
