Quoting: GuestLong before Steam & gog, I read a description of this game and thought, "Nicola Tesla!"

Did he date pigeons?

What's the usual phrase? "Oh Japan!"? - Yahtzee

Quoting: KristianThe distinction between Indie bundles and other bundles as regards DRM-free and cross platform policies is an artificial distinction invented after the fact as a rationalization. The first couple of bundles not labeled Humble Indie Bundle <insert number here> were also both DRM free and cross platform, take the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle as an example. The fact is for about the first 2 years or so of the existence of the Humble Bundles there was no non-Indie bundle exception, it was invented after the fact.

It used to be the case that developers had to port their games to Mac and Linux and provide DRM free builds to get to be in a bundle by Humble Bundle Inc. That is no longer the case, so that is one less incentive to port games to Linux. I am not actively boycotting Humble Bundle over this but I am using the option to not give Humble tips (or give lesser tips) on some bundles and avoiding others completely.

This. Seriously. This.

Speaking as an Albertan, you should just be glad chrisq that your government and people actually do receive any income from your oil, unlike here were we get our environment and other industries trashed while receiving almost no royalties and dwindling services due to our decadent entrenched government who also allow work to be done by inadequately trained temporary foreign workers who can simply be deported if they demand even basic labour rights, as to allow that would suddenly make it acceptable for them to hire Canadian workers instead. Incidentally, they are also allowing train cars full of LPG to blow up only a few kilometres away from my farm while at the same time failing to ship grain due to the end of our formally monopolistic agricultural protection system.

I know, I know, this is not a political website, but I could not let that stand without comment.

Quoting: joshmnz$6 for that anmesia game alone is worth it IMO

I am rather doubtful that there are many people on here who do not already own it though.

Quoting: edoI would prefer to have the original trine available in steam linux too, due to trine 2 runs very slow even on windows, so on linux it will be unplayable (I have to use the r600 driver).
btw, the humble-bundle trine version does not work either.

Trine 2 is perfectly playable for me on Linux with a Radeon HD 4670 and the R600 Gallium3D drivers:

I do hope that non-Steam users will still have the old Alternative Games port available for download alongside the Enchanted Edition though - if it does use the Trine 2 skills there are enough game balance changes between the two that my opinion might swing heavily between them.

I can't say that I am that fond of the new layout - it seems to subscribe to the whole Windows 8 style of having few or no hard edges that quite frankly I despise. A real shame considering that the old GOG layout was probably the best one I have seen for a web store.

Still, it does at least work for me with Chromium (Version 36.0.1985.143 (287914)), and the Linux icon is now a little penguin, which is indeed an improvement.

Why does everyone choose to show Turtle Arena... :P

At any rate, this is good news, especially for people who still regularly play Quake III like myself.

Is this Steam only? Because I recall seeing my brother playing with the original on Windows and that one did not require Steam. :S:

Quoting: oldrocker99Thanks, Linus. Again!

Well, and everyone else - it really is a community effort after all.
