Update - It's out, the latest Humble Bundle is out, Indie bundle number 5! It's the 13th bundle to hit the internet.
Looks to be one of the fastest selling ones too! Well over $500k already!
Some disappointment for you - Limbo isn't even native, it includes it's own version of Wine...works perfectly for me though!
----------
So the rumour mill is buzzing and the next Humble Bundle may very soon be upon us!
It looks as if we will be getting at least 1 game completely new to Linux this time too.
More info as and when it comes in keep checking back for the latest! It will hopefully launch tonight.

The petition is a good idea. But just to be sure they receive my complaint, I will also write to: [email protected]

Indeed, you are right Brandon that WINE is not an emulator.
It does not really change anything though. As a Linux developer yourself, you deserve credit for the work you put into your native ports. By including a non-native game in something like the Bundle, it really is a kick in your teeth as well.
It is saying that you can get away with not putting in the effort.

checksum is correct
/Desktop/Downloaded> unzip psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip

fatal error: read failure while seeking for End-of-centdir-64 signature.
This zipfile is corrupt.

Maybe try using a different program, and if that does not work it is probably time to contact support.

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 4398, member: 6"The thing is Liam, aren't we beyond that stage these days? Especially from something like the Humble Indie Bundle?
I don't know how much good this will do, but I started a petition to protest the inclusion of a non-native game in a Humble Indie Bundle:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/hib-native/
Please add your signatures. It is worded in a very constructive way and it seemed like the most civil way to get our point across.
We can not sell out our values at this stage. Not when we have momentum.
Like I said I feel it is better than nothing, but not the ideal solution.
As far as I know no petition for Linux gaming has ever done anything?

Okay? Fortunately it's not 1998. And wine is not an emulator any more than mono or java is an emulator.

I honestly do not know what kind of effect this will have, but it is not like most Linux gaming petitions. It is directed at Humble Bundle, who do have a history of listening, even to a single individual.
I just figured it was better to get organized rather than have islands of unrest in a large humble sea.
