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.

Sounds promising. Still need to play my copy of the original though. :D

Yeah, that is the Wikipedia thumbnail. :P

I actually have two screens, a 17'' Acer AL1716 LCD and a 17'' Samsung SyncMaster 763MB CRT configured in Zaphod Mode. :D

Anyway, here is the page I was actually trying to link to:

I am not quite sure how they can get the dual-licensing working with the GPL. Might be best to use a license that does not have anti-linking protections in this case.

EDIT: Okay, having read this it makes more sense now:

The lone developer of the Desura client writes about his intentions to create an open-source projectout of it under the GPLv3. Th server-side portion of the distribution platform would remain closed-up.

Hey, in my opinion it would be a disservice to refer to Helena as only a platformer. ;)
