It has been a bumpy ride, and that's putting it nicely, but 7 Days To Die is finally on Linux for us to enjoy some zombie smashing.
From the developers ignoring our requests of information, to community moderators temporarily banning me from the forums with a message of "stink on this" and many other annoyances. It is just good to see them finally deliver on the promise of a Linux version.
Originally the Kickstarter listed the Linux version (along with Mac) to be available around two months after the Windows version; that was a very long two months!
The game does seem to work reasonably well though, and even works on an Intel HD4000 if you turn the settings down quite a bit.
About the game
Building on survivalist and horror themes, players in 7 Days to Die can scavenge the abandoned cities of the build-able and destructible voxel world for supplies or explore the wilderness to gather raw materials to build their own tools, weapons, traps, fortifications and shelters. In coming updates these features will be expanded upon with even more depth and a wider variety of choices to survive the increasing dangers of the world. Play alone or with friends, run your own server or join others.
7 Days to Die development was launched following a successful Kickstarter campaign in August 2013, demonstrating the initial prototype. Joining us in early access now will help support the cause and ensure continued expansion of the development team, their efforts and the planning and addition of even more features and depth eagerly awaited by fans.
Check out 7 Days To Die on Steam, or 7 Days To Die on Humble Store where it is on sale.

Quoting: GuestThey have a very long and unreadable EULA… -> no thanks.
I wouldn't consider a long EULA a good reason to avoid a game, Paradox, probably the most Linux friendly publisher, have an even longer EULA and Steam EULA is as long as the two put together...
Kind of a bittersweet feeling here as well considering how they treated Liam but I guess I'm glad the Linux port finally arrived (also because I was a backer!)

Tell me, have you ever fully read GPL3 license?
This "Early Access" program has really screwed up a lot of things in gamers heads.
Quoting: dimkoTell me, have you ever fully read GPL3 license?
lol, you got me here, I did used the notice attached at the end of the license in source files but I don't actually remember ever reading the full license!
I personally hope that people who doesn't understand the risks of using development version of products / Early Access would stay away from Early Access games. It is tiring to read whining and complaining if and when development version doesn't work properly.
Quoting: edqeGreat to have yet another game for Linux.BS. 7dtd was supposed to be released for linux ~year ago and there were nothing said about early access. They joined it long after kickstarter and basicaly took dump on heads of their suppporters.
