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.

also find it pretty good looking but am amazed at the critique you read on some of the other websites (and the facebook page) about it, I guess "we" not that spoiled yet ;)

looks good.
my personal preference is no youtube/image on the main page, but more text news, but then maybe I am boring ;)

the guys from the Xenonauts kickstarter had a questionnaire about which packaging and such people preferred, pointed them to the same article and told them to contact you. Just curious if they ever did?

Quoting: "MyGameCompany, post: 4967, member: 68"I left a comment on their blog to point them to my [URL='http://www.mygamecompany.com/articles/index.htm']Linux Game Development[/URL] articles, which talk about how to handle dependencies and packaging, but my comment never showed up. :(

hrhr, make it: valve on linux :)
i am still not sure it will be steam. and if it will, will the impact really be as huge as people seem to think? developers who want to do linux can do this now via several channels, will we really suddenly see a huge influx? i do agree that if it happens we will see that valve will also port their eingine over, that will have more impact, but again how much real impact? with unity now supporting linux thanks to wasteland 2 we not yet seen many announcements about more unity games comming to linux. unigine has had linux support from the start but most of the games comming out on that dont support linux.
time will tell.
