Quoting: liamdaweIt seems that even when I state "pure speculation" people still compare my articles to Phoronix :(, maybe I need to make a massive banner stating "this could be completely untrue".

where did I compare your article with a phoronix article ? all I said was that the desktop might be taken with a grain of salt as it also ask for a network/http which are not desktop related (for good old games).  For the rest I hope your right but I feel its just wishful thinking.  

If that upsets you and you feel I compare you with phoronix well then not sure what to say

so it says desktop, but then they want "Network experience, especially HTTP", so personally I would take the "desktop" with a grane of salt and maybe they running internal linux servers for their builds/forums/website etc. etc.
to much wishful thinking I fear, BUT I hope your right none the less :)

"Look at you hacker, a pathetic pack of meat and bones..."  If there is 1 classic I would need to pick from that decade, it will be this one, is a MUST BUY :)

Quoting:  BumadarI don't see this obsession to have games installed via rpm/deb, many of the humble bundle games use the .bin installer and that one works just fine, GoG could easily make a standard installer for their games using those as a basis. Its just another excuse as many said here.

They DO have their own custom standard installer already for their Mac and Windows games. And the guy who believes that distributing commercial games on Linux is so difficult because of dependency and administration issues is prattling on about a problem which has been solved since Loki. Besides, GoG games do not tie into one central Dosbox install when they sell their games anyway, but ship with a custom configured executable with each game purchase. Can you imagine the trouble that would cause if it did? Just because Linux has a packaging system does not mean you need to do that level of dependent insanity.

I know they do, that is why I said they could easily use those .bin as a basis for their installer on linux

if GOG wanted to provide Linux versions of games, they'd had to choose how to do it: provide every format imaginable (DEB package + RPM package + .tar.gz archive + other eventual formats)? provide only a .tar.gz archive

I don't see this obsession to have games installed via rpm/deb, many of the humble bundle games use the .bin installer and that one works just fine, GoG could easily make a standard installer for their games using those as a basis.  Its just another excuse as many said here.  They just don't want to spend the time and effort, and that fine as its their company, simple as that.

There are so many versions of this game, i remember playing the version on eiter atari st or was it 286pc back then, if its that version then they can keep it, nothing more then a set of quick time events

I am not on the beta/alpha, so not sure but sometimes when I look at these gameplay movies I get a feeling that the planet/map feels rather small, but it might simply be a wrong feeling

Oh and Bumadar I would be worried about the RC4 this game is not done.

that why I worried. I tested the 1st build and it had the issues you mentioned, I sort of forgot about the game and wondered if they really fixed it all.... guess not :/
