Me thinks they get a little too facetious at times...
EDIT: I am also depressed by the amount of native games and applications listed as being supported either by Codeweavers or the community. I mean seriously, who would want to wine Firefox!?

Compared to some of the other prices on Desura it is not that competitive. About five dollars more than what would be comparable.
I am not trying to bitch too much, and I am happy to see it is there, especially since there is no DRM as far as I am aware. Just making an observation.
EDIT: Case in point, Majesty is about 10$ and it is about comparable to Robin Hood I would say.

So, they have got one of their games up already.

The good news: they put up a Linux title first.
The bad news: the price is still a little steep. But better than the $40 dollars that was listed for it at Tux Games when it was still in stock.

Just wondering for when I bother to get to my HIB copy. No rush on that though as I am still playing through Psyhconauts (which does still really need another bug fix release) and will probably be giving Rochard a go first as I want to see how well Unity is working out.

Well, they may come to... maybe. How well is the Torchlight port running these days anyway?

To be fair, we do not know what the prices will be for a digital download.
What I would really love is to see Hyperion Entertainment put some of their old games up, but I doubt that will ever happen.

In a word: awesome! :D
I just hope they treat both Linux and Mac in fairly equal terms, since they have been primarily a Mac based porting house in the past.

Steam's Beta games confirmed and Linux better than Windows for gaming?

Which almost everybody hates. ;)

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 6020, member: 122"The only major difference at the moment that I know of is Office's new(ish) "ribbon" replacement for the toolbar.

I would definitely argue that Linux has the advantage when it comes to older hardware support because of the in-kernel driver model. It also scales down better than Windows on older hardware too, but that is a completely separate issue. Linux has a disadvantage when it comes to the latest hardware for the same reason, but once something does get good support, it will tend to last practically forever assuming it get's into the kernel.
My transition to Linux came around the same time I really moved from a regular computer user to an administrator, so my learning curve was about as steep as it would have been if I had stuck with Windows. The motivation to stick with the old system was never really there for me though; the only reason I stuck with Windows for as a long as I did was because I had to for School, which later did not become an issue. Once I learned how to use a package manager I was pretty much set.
Now, my gaming was curiously well suited to moving to Linux as I had grew up mostly playing old DOS games and idtech titles which probably helped quite a bit, but it was not that hard for me and that was six or seven years ago when I moved full time.
