Quoting: GuestBecause you're encouraging Windows development, so I recommend playing it without donating anything to them if you want to play it, but to each their own.

I know exactly what buying the game supports, hell, I even wrote an article about a similar topic. But I also believe one should pay for the product they use if a price is placed on it. However, I am only willing to pay proportionally to the support they grant, so 50% of the price or less. After all, I only buy the product for the data as the engine and whatever technical support they would provide is useless to me.

I personally don't see the issue here, as I'm sure in the long run OpenMW will support the platform much better than a closed source port by Bethesda.

Quoting: GuestPlease don't send money to developers who only support Windows.

Ever.

If you want to play OpenMW then do so, but do not contribute money to anyone who doesn't support your platform. Doing so is the opposite of the kind of encouragement that we need to be giving developers.

I agree with you to a point. I wouldn't buy the game at full price to play in OpenMW, ever, but at a 50% or higher discount I am fine with it. After all, they (Bethesda) made a critical part of the experience which is the data and OpenMW seems quite capable at providing the rest. If a working, native replacement engine exists I don't see a reason not to buy the game data.

Quoting: GBeeJust in case you were serious, which I doubt you were ...

Why would Volition go to a third party to port Red Faction Guerilla when they already have in-house experience of porting their games to linux with the Saint's Row series?

Saints Rows are not in-house ports. They were done by VP (Virtual Programming).

I added a bit about the ideal performance difference between the two cards. However, I still don't believe the 27-50% performance losses can be explained with the hardware difference alone.

Quoting: leillo1975If I buy definitive edition bundle at this time, the game counts like a Linux purchase?

Officially there is no Linux version so I don't think it matters either way. I would recommend not purchasing it and instead putting your money towards officially supported products.

Just for when reality starts hitting your face and disappointment starts kicking in hard, keep in mind that Project Brutality is still a thing and it's a quite wonderful thing indeed if you can just get an engine to run it properly.

Quoting: Tinche

Quoting: Samsai808 SB12S could be a reference to MC Hammer lyrics and the image is obviously Mars. Since the new Doom is a Bethesda title it will never get ported. Thus the obvious connection is Hammer and Mars which could mean Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Ugh, Googling around, Red Faction: Guerilla is a 2009 game. Please be Doom, please be Doom, please be Doom

Wishful thinking, Doom 4 will not be ported because it's a Bethesda title.

Yeah, Minetest isn't much of a game as-is and pretty much needs a modpack on top of it to be fun. I myself have played with Carbone NG which adds pretty much all the features I would need in a Minecraft-like. You can find it here [External Link].
