LIMBO Dark Platformer Fully Native Linux Version Released, No More Wine

whine no more

• Playdead is much smaller than CD Projekt RED


• Playdead has a lot less cash than CD Projekt RED


• Limbo is much older than The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings


• Limbo already exists on Linux via a wrapjob

And yet here we have Limbo for Linux. Natively. Thank you, Playdead and icculus. That is how you build good will. I can tell which game I'll buy and gift and which one I won't.

Limbo code base is much smaller than Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
Limbo is much more easer to test.

I think it is very hard to compare these two games.

Civilization 5 and Witcher 2 in other hand...

My first two bullet points tackle that rather nicely. Civilization 5 is another example, though, as is Trine. CD Projekt RED, being all about good will, certainly screwed up here compared to other developer studios.

LIMBO still hasn't updated itself in my steam library. On the other hand, it has been updated on the humble store.

I have the same problem. I'm trying to install (2KB downloaded and a icculus popup message), but it can't be played


Very nice of Ryan to set that message, he's awesome! :)

Great news, I love this game! And I can finally put it in my wishlist now :)
Edit: the sad news is I have no chance on winning that Civ V giveaway anymore.... if I ever had before :P

*tips his hat to them* ^_^

I wonder what changed to make this happen though, as if I recall correctly, they previously claimed that it was some middleware that prevented this from happening previously. Did they replace it or did the middleware become native in the mean time?

Icculus ported Wwise the middleware in question.

They probably wasted their time with this, we all love wrapped games now remember. As long as it works and all. Icculus will vanish into distant memory doing native ports like loki did. He needs stop this rubbish and start wrapping everything fast and cheap, so we can fill steam with glorious penguin icons.

Jokes aside, it's a good game! Glad they did this.


lol Is that for real? I haven't seem an "attack" from that guy yet!
Someone have really way too much time on his hands....

It's working on Steam now. Great job!

Alright, now that I have actually played some of this, I must now conclude that LIMBO may in fact be the most disturbing game I own. :O

Limbo would be a lot cheaper to port, also consider the fact that both games actually have similar sale prices. Witcher 2 is always £3 when they go on (-80%) sale, so they are not too far off, Limbo would be £1.40 on -80% sale.

Still that port is so bad that there is just no excuse, but can we stop talking about it? They already announced a new version, we should come back to this once it's ready.

Did they? I look at the github and Steam forums everyday and the only thing they were able to say about this was "no ETA." I even asked if a "true fullscreen version" was possible as a VP employee mentioned that it could improve performances but I never got an answer...

Uh... read before you quote. It says exactly what I said: no ETA.

Just updated on steam.

Thanks...downloading!
