It's chicken versus penguins in Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken. This side-scrolling action-platformer features clever characters and even cleverer gameplay. Play as a gun-toting chicken with the mission of taking down the tyrannical penguin faction. Besides some quick shooting action and stealthy duck and covers, you can also control a penguin with brain bugs and jet through the sky with rockets.

Now, is this really a game us Linux users want to support? :P

Quoting: s_dI quite like the variety of oddities available on Desura, and it's clear that Valve hasn't figured out how to monetize completely free content (free-to-play, a la TF2, yes... free as in beer? Not so much).  In fact, other than ad revenues on the website proper, I'm not really sure how Desura is monetizing free content.

I don't think Desura gets any money from its free games; I think the main point behind them is to simply expand their catalogue and make the service look more attractive as a whole.

I am sorry, but Strife is always going to be the one built on the Doom engine for me. :P

The game will also have Steam achievements which will also work outside out Steam via an option system in-game as well, so non-Steam users can still enjoy them if they wish.

RWS keeps on staying awesome. ^_^

Although they are not the only ones to do this - I believe Trine 2 allows for something similar.

About time we got DRM free Goblin Menace. I just hope Frozenbyte keeps supporting Desura and gives out a key for it. :|

I would have also bought the bundle for FTL, but I already grabbed it on sale last summer, and I of course already have Brutal Legend from the Double Fine Bundle. So it is mostly Goblin Menace that is keeping my interest up.

But since I got Trine 2 for free though a contest here on GoL, what I am paying for this bundle is not really a big thing to spend for how many hours that game has already given me. ;)

Not to be rude, but will you people shut up? I am getting a little sick of being inundated with email notifications. Plus you do not seem to be going anywhere in your arguments, as each comes from a different perspective with each not really being right or really being wrong.

Plus, after all the resentment shown against gog over this by some people, you think they would have stopped talking about them by now.

Of course the FSF campaigns in favor of free software. That is not the point of this; they restored their license after the developers made it fit the legal terms, despite the fact that it is being used for a proprietary game. Despite the fact that they do "hate" proprietary software, they willingly work with proprietary developers as long as they fit their licensing terms. And yes, the FSF has the full right to revoke their license when people who use it break the license terms. In fact, they are obligated to, because if they don't followup on even the smallest infractions the license becomes useless, because without enforcement the law becomes useless.

As someone who has released free software applications, I am glad that the license I use does get enforced when violations are shown. You say they are not being pragmatic, but if they do not follow up on these problems they are being impractical, and hurt the license and damage everyone who tries to use it for legal purposes. And from what I see here, it seems the people complaining seem to have a "black and white political bug" up their own asses, simply because they disagree with the advocacy part of the organization. That is not the problem here. This is a legal matter.

Quoting: SuperuserI'm surprised in general to have seen the FSF getting its panties in a bunch over this when I've seen much more serious breaches of this type from proprietary and open source software alike.

Yes, but because it was an FSF project they were actually able to become aware of it. Most breaches happen because they go unreported.

And ideology has nothing to do with this case, it is purely a legal matter.
