The next universe sandbox may support Linux

My brother plays with this on Windows, so it would be good to get him playing it on Linux. :)

Quoting: berarmaThe different perspective might be that I don't buy on a non-existent promise.
We do not speak of non-existent promises here Berarma. Desura makes direct appeals to certain groups based on certain ideals, and loosing those is what we were concerned about. But as I said, I do not think this is worth arguing about considering there does not seem to be a problem in the first place.

Trust me Berarma, there are plenty of reasons to get nervous when one company buys out another. I do not think being a little worried was unjustified. And we obviously have different perspectives on how we use our money.

Quoting: s_dI don't think I'll be participating in any sort of Desura boycott.
I do not think anyone brought up the idea of boycotting Desura, but rather that they wanted a bit more information to be released before investing in it again. In my mind that information has now become available, so I am quite happy with how things stand at present. :)

I have now updated the article yet again as Desura themselves have now put out a statement, which gives us a shout-out by the way. ^_^

Another thing to remember is that some of the code for Second Life has been released, so I do not think they will move to close up Desurium, especially with the large role the community has assumed with it. So I think we should be good, looking at everything.

The port of Second Life was originally developed by Ryan C. Gordon, although I do not know who is currently maintaining it.

Well, it is still a bit early for anyone to get panicky yet. It is not as if Linden Labs has been hostile to Linux in the past, so I think we should just wait and see what happens with regards to everything. That being said, when I have the opportunity I might just download the few games I have on there that are not from Humble Bundle just in case, and I might just wait for a bit before buying anything new. Just in case.
Introducing The Humble Bundle with Android 6!

I might spring for the current Humble Weekly Sale as then I can get the Hard Times DLC for Rochard outside of Steam or buying the whole game again through their Humble Store widget for full price. Is this the first Weekly sale that is completely true to the main bundles, or were there any before it that I missed?

They also have this nice addition to their description:
Rochard was also the premiere title to debut the Unity game engine on Linux! Unity powers a number of amazing titles and its presence on Linux can only broaden the horizons for cross-platform gaming everywhere.
See, I am not impossible to please. :P
