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.

Oh yeah! I love Aspyr for their quality ports. Also, they are very active and vocal about their work on reddit, which I appreciate. GOL is my only reliable source for linux gaming news that offers regular updates every day. I've tried several other news sites but narrowed it down to this one. I literally deleted all other linux gaming bookmarks :D.

How can we not appreciate the great work that both Aspyr and GoL are doing? Of course i have a little preference for GoL, but don't tell them that ;)

Anyway, win or not, keep doing the great work you've already done!

As a linux-only user I love GOL as a daily source of up-to-date high quality information about games I can play on linux.

Aspyr is a great, because they are doing fast and very good ports of great games. Additional to that they are very good at communicating with the community about their ports and progress.

I do love Aspyr, even though their port of Civ V made my wife hog our living room gaming rig for a solid two weeks. And she never plays games.

I also love GOL. This is simply the only news source any Linux gamer needs. Tons of high quality, well written articles with actual information instead of rumours and guesswork.

I love Aspyr because of the overall quality of their ports, because they port games I like, and because they show us their porting process, with its ups and downs sometimes.
And I love GOL because of its fantastic community and because it's the best way to kee up to date with the latest Linux game releases.

Not sure, because I've not bought it yet. Hopefully, though :D

I love Aspyr because you see them trying to do things right instead of following the path of least resistance for a chance to a money grab.

I love Gamingonlinux mostly for the first-hand news from the developers, I value that much more than rumours or speculations :)
