Aspyr Media have done it again! Civilization: Beyond Earth is now officially available for Linux, and we have keys to throw through the screen.
It's fantastic that it was ported as quickly as this, and the communication in public from Aspyr Media has been fantastic. Other bigger developers could learn a thing or two from Aspyr.
About the game
Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is a new science-fiction-themed entry into the award-winning Civilization series. Set in the future, global events have destabilized the world leading to a collapse of modern society, a new world order and an uncertain future for humanity. As the human race struggles to recover, the re-developed nations focus their resources on deep space travel to chart a new beginning for mankind.
As part of an expedition sent to find a home beyond Earth, you will write the next chapter for humanity as you lead your people into a new frontier and create a new civilization in space. Explore and colonize an alien planet, research new technologies, amass mighty armies, build incredible Wonders and shape the face of your new world. As you embark on your journey you must make critical decisions. From your choice of sponsor and the make-up of your colony, to the ultimate path you choose for your civilization, every decision opens up new possibilities.

And suddenly it was past 1am.
These fucking games, I swear to god.

I love Aspyr media and Gaming On Linux because they took my gaming rig that runs Linux to swag level 9000. Seriously though both have been monumental forces for promoting Linux and gaming in the same sentence.

GamingOnLinux provides me with up-to-date news about gaming on the only OS worth running. It's wonderful that they cover FOSS gaming in addition to proprietary games. Best of all, they've had lots of good news to report lately.
As for Aspyr, their Linux port of Civ V has not crashed once on me in over 500 hours of play. Borderlands 2 has been rock-solid for me as well. I love being able to count on Aspyr for top-quality ports.

Aspyr's so cool with their engagement and communication with our Linux community, love 'em! I even bought borderlands 2 on their website, when I rarely buy games in the ~$20+ level!
You also know I love GoL because of the great coverage and community ;P

I checked down the back of the sofa & found some spare change to grab a copy of Civ V, can't stretch to Civ BE at the moment but at least I could throw some cash Aspyr's way. You guys deserve it. :D
