It has come to my attention recently that some people have been taking a really hard stance against developers who want to gauge interest for a Linux port.

Can you link some examples? I'm not actively reading the Steam forums, so maybe I'm out of the loop?

The discussion in the comments here also seems to go all over the place, touching various issues.

Quoting: redshiftAside from not using the whole power of 64-bit system, what's the problem with 32-bit games?

I don't see why I should support 32-bit releases. For at least ten years now, there is more or less not a single x86 CPU sold that doesn't support 64-bit. There is absolutely no reason to be running a 32-bit system, let alone 32-bit Linux.

The one big problem that @Shmerl mentioned is shitty middleware. But you know what? Don't use shitty middleware today. The Tyranny situation is a big fat joke.

I don't understand how there are still so many 32-bit only games coming out, when it's been years that the distribution looked like this. There were a *bunch* of (newish) games during the GOG fall sale I wanted to buy, but in the end didn't, due to being 32-bit only...

People have a fair point about stale profiles. But difficult to tell the actual impact.

PS: Please add Void Linux distribution :D

Thanks for the review liam. Still interested in the game, but definitely waiting what the next few patches bring.

He's usually running nvidia, so I doubt it.

To the HL3 people: Let's keep it in the realm of all possible universes ;)

I'm definitely pumped for the game, but still waiting for reviews, of course especially on Linux. Hope you get a key!

Also looking forward to Mesa performance numbers.

At least for now it's also listed with Linux support on GOG.

I like how he approaches the problem, with realistic measure of success and roadmap. His reasoning is laid out and makes sense as well.

Additional kudos if he can keep up with his plans for the next three years!

Was totally hyped by the `Direct Download` link, but every game I was interested in is Steam key only :(
