Quoting: "Kame, post: 3922, member: 102"If you buy it in the humble widget on their site you get a steam copy along with it, you support the Linux version AND are able to play with friends if a Linux steam client gets released!
wooot.

Trine 2 officially released for Linux

im holding myself back for 1 month. just to wait and see what happens with the steam linux client rumors.
its mostly because most of my friends are using windblows and DRM free copy of Trine 2 doesnt match with the steam versions multiplayer. So im unable to play with friends then.
and i also dont want to buy the windows version, because they support our beloved platform natively :)

Humble Indie Bundle Android 2

i havent had any problems with the humble bundle games. only problem i had was with avadon. but it was corrupt download and md5 didnt match. redownload fixed it.
i guess open source drivers still the common issue for some games with more gaphical detail or features and also some sound problems that have been plagued linux quite some time.
i myself havent run into those tho. but i have been using prop drivers with my ati card when i had it and now with nvidia as well.

"Now we have multiplayer via LAN and via Internet only on Steam/XBLA/PSN. Because we don't have own matchmaking server. If Desura will run matchmaking SDK, we are ready implement it."

thats sad ... i would like multiplayer.. coop or against eachother.

ok now got rid of that pixbuf issue also
i had this loaders.cache on different place since i have 64bit system. made a symlink of it to i386-linux-gnu and the error is gone.
so its not affecting the segfault just to be sure...alltho it was expected.

its strange tho that the issue is linux mint only
cuz Mint is using the base of ubuntu packages just with few tweaks here and there

FireFall "might" be coming to Linux

i dont care if it has wine wrapper or is native from the ground up, if i get the allmost same perf/graphics quality as under windows.
i ofc would prefer native anytime..but if the wrapper is made nicely then i dont complain much. and if i do like the game i buy it anyway.
i buy games that are for windows only also, which just work under wine well enaugh.
i dont mind using wine.
