Well... lost and lost... [They were found again](http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126456&page=31&p=2035146&viewfull=1#post2035146), but I'm guessing the legality of found source code versus old source code is beyond mere mortals.

Carmageddon: Reincarnation's Jason Garber Answers Our Questions On Their Linux Support

Well, they always said that Linux support would come after the Windows version, but it does seem a little strange to ask for funding for a multi-platform engine and then port it after you're done.

I know... I know what he's trying to say, but it comes out so wrong. "we have to concentrate on the PC version before we port to any other platform" literally means Windows, Linux and other PC OS versions before console, Android, etc. but he's using both "PC" and "platform" to mean "Windows". It's so wrong and not even unusual! :(

Oh, "you" just joined my base :) I'll try to keep in mind to snap pictures of the bitter end ;)

Deadfall Adventures FPS Looks Like It Is Coming To Linux

Quoting: Quote from titi@Magevania, this is not true! Those Unreal Engine 3 games are native! No wine library used! Same for unity based games with real linux ports.
( I don't own Europa Universalis IV but I think this a real port too! )
OK I did a misktake about U3 and EU games but Unity games are not native, they use Mono and Mono/NET framework is similar to Java, there is not native code! There is a virtual machine and the program is "highly" cross-platform. 
By that logic, most of Gnome3 (JavaScript) and programs like Deluge, Exaile, Quod Libet, SoundConverter, Geany, Meld, Bleach Bit and the RedHat/Fedora GUI system tools (Python) aren't native since they run on VMs. It's a silly thing to say really.

Offer a SublimeText plugin instead and I'd be interested; I really don't need a new IDE for just one language.

Must be because they are both Russian games.
They aren't Russian games they are Ukrainian games. I don't know why You wrote otherwise, but I don't like it.

And some more info:

The devs maybe but not the guy who wrote the stories. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Glukhovsky [External Link]
And if I remember correctly the game takes place in Russia.
Also, Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (the authors of "Roadside Picnic" which "Stalker" (the film) is based on - both of which "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." (the game) are based on) were Russian.

So, they are Ukrainian games in the Russian tradition. Everyone is happy now, right? :)
