Quoting: sevNever has an industry fought so hard to NOT take people's money as they do in Linux computing.

Nice to see sales numbers from a real developer. I have to admit I'm amazed at just how many Windows users there still are in the world. People who say Microsoft is in trouble are fooling themselves.

I'll definitely buy Garry's Mod. Probably won't play it, but I'll buy.

Quoting: sevenis the dev happy with the sales on linux, did he give any comments on that?

Quoting: fabertaweNot this again please! There are other threads specifically for arguing about DRM and Steam.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroA game built ported through a wine wrapper should be considered native (even though it's not strictly native) simply because that counts as a Linux sale when you buy it. I should make that clearer in the next one though, it's a good point.

Quoting: BeamboomI find it so fascinating that it really only takes one man to do these ports. It can't be much work then, to get the job done?

It just amazes me, seeing how it takes hundreds of programmers several years to make those big productions.

Quoting: ShmerlThat's exactly what I'm saying. He didn't say they target 4.4 core profile. He said "OpenGL 4 core profile" which is ambiguous and can mean any 4.x.

gtruc says:
"Since OpenGL 3.0, the ARB has designed OpenGL specifications so that all the revisions of OpenGL for a major version would work on the same hardware. Each major OpenGL number defines what we can call a hardware level. Hence, OpenGL 3 hardware can all implement OpenGL 3.0, OpenGL 3.1, OpenGL 3.2 and OpenGL 3.3. Of course, it’s the same logic for OpenGL 4 hardware"

Look the Introduction in Your text to link here... [External Link]

Since that's how things works, I assume that saying Ogl 4 means something like "ogl 4 hardware". And then it's a matter of drivers, and obviously I think Mesa driver are out of the track ATM, and Ati... well, we all know how Ati cares about their linux customers.
I think they're really saying "it will work on ogl 4 NV cards only right now", but being "diplomatic".
It's not something that worries me, we want very good looking linux games and with high fps, so we need the latest support for opengl. Currently only NV supports opengl 4 completely on linux and with a robust behaviour. So yes, the game probably is, right now, NV only.
Perhaps other drivers teams will read the signs and provide up to date drivers. After all, it's not that they didn't know the specs beforehand :)
