Quoting: coryrj19951Anyone else notice that this is the GOG version wrapped in WINE (second time I seen this done :P ). Completely DRM free and can be ran with the .SH script without steam open.

Why can't they release it on GOG then?

Why would they need Steam runtime for Wine though? If the game is playable in Wine, just get the GOG version and run it.

If it's not needed for most games, then it's better to leave it as an optional fix.

Good to hear they fixed the long standing Witcher bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34052 [External Link]

Yeah, I remember people running Easy Debian on Nokia N900 and using a stylus to navigate Open Office there ;)

@Lightkey: I wouldn't call it fine if it needs precision with small controls. I'd say it's some stretch if usability is concerned. I'm OK with them doing what they want, but you can't claim it has good ergonomics for UI that has tiny elements in it.

@Lightkey: Yes, I wasn't talking about Pyra specifically. I was answering to @kingu who said that "Desktop Linux|GNU isn't geared towards 480px vertical resolution, on a screen too small for comfort". I.e. of course you shouldn't try to fit desktop UI on a small screen. It's counter productive.

Deep Silver never managed to release Linux versions of their Metro games on GOG. So I kind of don't care by now.

@kingu: I don't see a point in trying to use a desktop UI on a mobile device. Just make a mobile UI. Linux doesn't limit you. That's what Sailfish and Plasma Mobile are doing. And they are using Wayland compositors for that.

And as for small / portable computers, while it's not a handheld, it's one portable beast mini PC:

You can find cheaper computers with keyboards which you can fit in your pocket that can also run proper glibc Linux :) For example Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pro (you can run Nemo / Sailfish / Plasma Mobile on it)
