The thing is, some Demos are so good, that I'm actually satisfied enough not to bother with buying the Game. I agree with the guy to be honest, sometimes the Demo is good enough for a few minutes of fun everyday.

People are generally busy and want something short and to the point anyway. I play Civ2 in Wine quite a bit, I've been playing the SAME Game, for the past 10 years, off and on. There was a story awhile back about a guy playing the same game he created in Civ2 for many years also.

I really, really miss Battlefield 1942 =( Probably the only Game I miss from *those* days that I can't find an alternative for.

Quoting: Mike FrettHe keeps saying Humble Bundle, yet they've been quite Linux unfriendly as of late. Also, who knows how well Steam Box will do if at all. These things could be deciding factors as to a continuation Linux Games, and if they fail; I would hate to see what happens to us.

Humble bundle allowed most of linux games to be ported. They introduice windows/mac only bundles of already existing games but they still push new games to be ported on linux, "main" bundles are always cross-platform. If you are unhappy with the fact some bundles are not ported on linux, just do like I do… don't buy it and wait for the linux ports =]

Yep, and I'm thankful for the ports. What do you mean by 'Main' bundle? there are two going on right now with Linux no where to be found; unless you mean the 'Indie' bundle. I do exactly as you say, I don't buy them. It also makes me happy to read about a few of the Indie Devs who say they got most of their money from Linux users, like the Defender's Quest makers and Puppy Games.

Most of the time we buy more than Mac users. I think that statistic deserves attention.

Yeah, I'm always thinking Future-tense. And if Steam doesn't start pushing for more Linux games and better drivers, then I fail to even see the point of a Console. Especially the $300+ Console they keep talking about. Really, what are we to do, play Pixel-art games on a powerful Steam Box?. This is serious stuff here, they need to get it in gear and quit horsing around.

@Ba7a7chy: Been there done that. I value my freedom more than getting a game quickly on NSA/Windows. I can wait =)

Edit: When I quote somebody, their text shows but mine doesn't. I had to unquote him in order to show my text.

I'd love to start seeing Windows as a stretch goal, that's what I'd like to see. Turn the tables around, see how those users feel. It's a nice looking Game btw.

I actually have a copy of Morrowind, was curious if using this, if the actual Game was completely playable or would you guys say they had more work to do first?.

Quoting: Mike FrettWhat would I do if the Game window just opens and then closes?.

Run it in terminal and see what happens?

Say's a lot about /dev/input/js1 and then Aborted (core dumped). Nothing else, what ya think?.
