Humble Bundle number 13!
2 Jun 2012 at 7:01 pm UTC

the bundle was (supposed) to be about?
i think it doesnt go against that.
if it works crossplatform (no matter if wine is used or not) then its "crossplatform".
wine is a good thing. it allows us to play the games that are never ported on our platform. it also runs some older games much better than u can run them in latest windows releases.
i do not own windows but i do buy windows games that work well in wine. Just the gamer inside me wants to do that.

ofc native ports are better. but i use all i can to enrich my gaming.

i personally have nothing agains winelib ports if they do work. and in my case, LIMBO works just perfectly with zero issues.

i had no problems running it in wine when i used to play.
now with the bundle version (crossover ported one)..that works well also.
yeah..native version would be better but no problem with the winelib one for me at least.

only problem is that the damn game doesnt have windowed mode. so its better to play windows version in wine to emulate wine window to be able to play in windowed mode:)

seems like Carmageddon: Reincarnation might come to Linux as well.
but the bar is pretty high for the port. namely 600k

prolly wont reach to that point. but u never know..would be fun to play it on linux.

mostly windowed mode. cuz some fullscreen games sometimes want to go over the 2 screens.
if alt+tab or alt+g to ungrab mouse works in fullscreen then fullscreen mode is fine.
