Hmm... and I felt cheap for grabbing it when it was only 75% off. :P

It seems to mostly be that the development tools are harder to understand and use than for some other engines.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 5125, member: 122"It's probably worth noting that their test system specs are pretty extreme. I don't know anybody running 32GB of RAM ^_^

For a modern large game developer that is pretty much par the course though.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 5125, member: 122"Also, this is 32 bit Linux vs 64 but Windows.

Now that sounds to be counterintuitive.

You do realize one of the signs of an addict is trying to get other people to become addicts, right Liam? :P

Indeed. Some firmer commitments please. Heaven knows Linux users have been burned enough.

And will always target different niches - still, this might give them more incentive to look into getting Mods working on the Desura Linux client. It would be very useful for games such as Postal 2 and Amnesia (not that Frictional ever responded to my request for a Desura key... grumble) Still trying to get AWP working the way I want it to on the new Postal builds (although I have got ED working fine).

Sorry for going off topic though motorstep. Did not mean to distract people from Tomes. ;)

I am assuming it will be like the Mac launch with Valve's full catalogue? Left 4 Dead 2 is just the test case?

Well, to get us back on topic:

What I find interesting about the interview is that he basically confirms a lot of what Larabel said, that the disaster that Valve thinks Windows 8 is going to be is the main reason they are investing in Linux. Interesting to know.
