Odd, why would they do this?

Played the tutorial for a bit. Got somewhat into the alien bit before it crashed.

I've been habitually checking their steamdb since December, yet this somehow slipped past me :p Regardless, can't wait to play.

My steam seems to have reverted back to just "Linux"

I may get this just because of Jim Sterling.

I tried the demo a while back and I wasn't very impressed. It was hard, but I didn't have near as much fun as I had with Surgeon Simulator.

I'm going to personalize my computer by adding an espeak that says the name of my distribution accordingly: "Welcome to Linux Mint(Slash)Ubuntu(Slash)Debian*take breath*(slash)Gnu(slash)Linux!" :D

Joking aside, I personally don't like GNU/Linux. It's a bit bulky. Accurate, maybe, but I think it's irrelevant. Credit should be give when asked where Linux came from, of course, but being so stringent on the naming convention is a losing battle at this point. That said, if something uses "GNU/Linux" more power to them.

Quoting: ScotsmanI was afraid of this. Eventually 'Linux' is phased out, and then companies stop talking about supporting it. What if SteamOS ends up moving in an Ubuntu or even Android like direction, that is, very separate from any regular distro?

From what Gabe has said, it doesn't seem likely at the moment, but I wonder if someone could reach out to him for clarification.

Honestly, I was way more worried about Ubuntu doing something like this. If I recall, Valve have said that Linux is the future of gaming, not SteamOS.

My main problem is definitely the idea I have to hack around to get the same experience people are on other platforms. It's not the first time I've heard this attitude from a dev and I won't support it.

As for the wine wrapper I don't know. If anything I'd like to see it implemented in older Windows games I'd like to play, because getting Wine to behave is often a frustrating experience I'd prefer someone else to handle.
