Looks like fedvasu and helios are in the lead as it were. At least, that is how I call it.

Because I know where you live.... Muhahaha!

Seriously though, I do not know of any good reason why, except I do not have it. :P

And just to best everyone else here I have Linux installed on 6 desktops here, one laptop (and will be two soon), one router box, and I have installed it on my Aunt's computer. We are also planning on getting a Linux partition set up for our Uncle well.

We are breeding followers... *cackles again with much merriment*

Interesting that it is on TTimo's github rather than something id controls itself. Great news BTW. :)

Humble Introversion Bundle

Well, that just makes things worse doesn't it? Still, I have noticed that developers with Mac ports seem less willing to put them up on Steam so far compared to the ones with Linux ports putting them up on Desura.

Quoting: "sparr, post: 2676"It's not very reasonable to ask for Desura keys for games that aren't on Desura...


Then why was it not irresponsible for them to demand games get ported to Mac and Linux in the past? Because to be a part of the Bundle, you have to fulfil certain guidelines. Desura keys were part of the value that the Bundles offered. So I still do not see the problem. If you want to be a part of the Bundle, you have to make yourself presentable first.

Seconded. If they are already making demands on the developers to release for all three platforms, I do not think it would be too much to ask for them to demand they get on Desura as well.

At any rate, I bet that Desura will release a Mac port long before Steam ever thinks of releasing for Linux, so supporting Desura makes more sense in the long run.

This one is a proper Bundle at least, but it is out of my reach anyway as I do not have my own credit card, and my brothers credit is tied up in the new Rav4 he is getting (same problem I had when HiB 2 was released, car payments, though thankfully I did get them in the end though HiB 3, though I did miss out on the HiB 1 promotional effort that was part of it). So I will probably have to pass, even though I am interested in playing the much hyped Introversion titles and Aquaria. Not having Desura keys also diminishes its value. :(

They are on Steam already, so they should really get on Desura. I would be a perfect fit for them I think.
