Linux overtakes Mac on Humble Indie Bundle 6!

Indeed, which is why theses issues should have been worked out before the Bundle started. Now, we are getting a native port, and I am grateful that they are taking the time to do it properly. But this was still handled badly by the Bundle organizers IMO.

Can't help but notice that Vessel is still missing on Mac and Linux despite them promising that they would have the ports out in a few days after launch...

As I said, this whole thing was a bit rushed. Now, I know I have personally thought that the Humble Bundle guys have been trying to push too much out too quickly ever since the Frozen Synapse one, but this one is quite emblematic of the problem, only coming a couple of months after Humble Indie Bundle 5.

Which may explain why it only got $2 Million - not a figure to be scoffed at but still much lower than the previous big Indie bundle got.

Still looking forward to giving Rochard and Torchlight a proper go at some point though.

Well, unfortunately things are being a bit rushed in general with the Humble Bundles lately. I specifically waited until now to install Physconauts from HIB5 after hearing so many bug complaints, and instead opted to play Amnesia which I knew would work flawlessly. Physconauts is working fine for me now with the updated build, but it now looks like Torchlight is in the same boat. And the cycle will continue.

But as long as it is fixed eventually...

Yeah, the PA per app volume has been very useful for me when playing games.

Well, a little too close to the last in my opinion, but it does look to be another good Bundle. Interesting to see Torchlight finally show up on our noble little platform.

Still, I can not help but notice that the Bundles do seem to cater too much to the platformer crowd though. Nothing wrong with these games, but there should be more than those being offered by the Indie gaming community. Has there been a single Indie Bundle without one? Have we not moved beyond the Braid hype?

Just a thought... again, not dissing the game (I have many found memories of platforming games). But getting stuck in a rut can be bad for everyone.

Steam Beta may arrive next month!

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 5435, member: 122"The whole "Coming to Ubuntu only!!!" thing is just stuff that's been made up by a bunch of Ubuntu specific news sites ^_^

Nah, just the USC. :P

Majesty Gold available on Gameolith and Desura

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 5429, member: 93"it's really not that much different but one seems to get people into a oooh-no DRM !!! and the other is ooooh great it's coming :)

Well, not from me there wasn't. But I agree with the sentiment; in either case you have to pick your poison. It is up to you whether you figure it is worth it.

Majesty is undeniably a good game in of itself though.
