I wanted to sponsor it (I know its still open) but never really felt sure about it, the 250k kickstarter goal but 1000k for the actual full game... maybe I am easily confused :)

what I basicly do on a kickstarter page is a do a search for "linux", which gives:
Castle Story will be released for Windows & Mac (with possible Linux support once Unity4 is released).

just a random thought, I like those :)
if the whole steam to linux becomes a huge success and many people move from windows to linux as their game collection was the only thing stopping them, will the linux community be able to cope ? I mean there will be more users, I assume a bit less geeky then the current linux user. More uses means more bug reports as more people use more aspects of linux (kernel) but also the desktop (kde/gnome/etc) and the drivers (blob or open). Is the average linux distribution but also drivers/kernel community big enough to handle that ? these users come from a different environment, one where drivers get updated the whole time, even if it is to fix the performance with 1 game. I don't see that happening in the kernel drivers or 3rd party drivers ?
Just a random thought I know :)
ps: and what will the impact be off all of this on Wine/Crossover/Codeweavers ?

Quoting: "whizse, post: 5011, member: 126"It's certainly less bad than some alternatives, but it's still DRM.

agree, but that is something totally different then writing pieces about them still being invalid and create the mood he does where people fanaticly want LGP to go bust.
its more then trollish, its like doing his best to make a company look bad or irelevant

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 5007, member: 6"They do have to up their game now. It is not just them playing in the sandbox anymore.

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 5007, member: 6"But I do agree that Larabel does tend to be a bit trollish - but he is like that about everything. :rolleyes:

got the same mail and was pleasantly surprised by it :)
That post on Phoronix... I am not sure what his issue is with LGP but he has been coming down on them for while now, every few months he does this. The post made no sense, because Valve comes to linux that does not mean other publishers are irrelevant, Valve been on windows for ages, does not mean other publisher are irrelevant on windows.
The bashing Phoronix does of LGP and the mood he creates with it (if you read the posts, some people even feel LGP "must" go bust and that it would be a good thing) is simply bad and uncalled for and makes me wonder if there is a personal issue between Larabel and LGP.
LGP done a lot for linux gaming when nobody gave a damn, they spend a lot of time, money and resources porting games, maybe they not the newest games but that has more to do with other publisher not seeing a market and thus not letting LGP close to their windows source code to port.
On the good news side though, you can now follow LGP on Desura !!!

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 5005, member: 1"Other websites have pulled them up (Phoronix..) about if they are valid or not anymore because of Steam coming, I say yes of course they are they do Port games to Linux after all, games have to first be ported to be sold remember.
