Quoting: SilviuIt carries around the "runtimes" which is basically a big ball of various libraries

Didn't a lot of Windows games do the exact same thing? I haven't touched it since 2002, but back then I recall almost every game I had shipped with some version of DirectX, maybe the MSVC runtimes, VB runtimes, etc.

I really like what I played of Ittle Dew, and I will be buying this shortly. It looks excellent! I am just waiting for the Humble Store version, which is supposed to be coming soon (or maybe some other direct purchase option is coming soon, but Humble seems likely).

Quoting: rustybroomhandleBy the "xcom_ew.sh" I'm assuming that this means the Enemy Within expansion will be available too. I've been holding off on picking that up till they finish this port.

Not just the "ew" in the script name, but the descriptions clearly say "Enemy Within".

The LeadWerks guys seem to accept that everyone are individuals and that there is no one product that is best for everyone. At least, that's the impression I got in their Steam forum threads when people questioned other engines (and yes, I threw the Godot Engine into the mix). I think the more options, the merrier, and I doubt Godot going open-source will really steal away customers from LeadWerks or Unity or whatever else. If you've already invested money and time into one development kit, I'd assume you're not in a real hurry to switch.

I'm planning to stick with Godot for now. I'll look at LeadWerks if - for some reason - Godot doesn't meet my needs. I suspect it'll be a long time before I hit any walls... It's hard to find time to work on games along with other hobbies (including playing games), especially with a demanding toddler running around.

I could go for a good sniper game on Linux...

Quoting: EdgarI am not against the availability of Wine-wrapped games, as long as their status is made clear. However, I won't pay for a Wine-wrapped game.

I guess I agree with that. It's going to really suck when a game I actually want to play ships with this Wine bullshit, though.

I pledged like a week ago. $10 for 100 hours of first-party gameplay... I'd say that's far from relying on user-created content.

I played it some, and, as a major Thief fan, I think it's fantastic.

Paradox talks about Linux sales here:

In 2012, Linux was 0.08% of their business.
In 2013, Linux was 1.55% of their business.

I LOVED this game. I hope they make more with the same art style and such (gameplay could be similar or totally different). This was the second game I finished on Steam for Linux (10 000 000 was my first, and To The Moon being the only other since this one). Now to find time for the other 200+ games...
