Good news for Jagged Alliance fans, as it looks like another game in the series will come to Linux. The reviews are a bit mixed on this one though.

In the last week a bunch of Linux-related information popped up on SteamDB, like this:
Quotelaunch/2/config/oslist: linux
launch/2/executable: JAO.x86
launch/2/type: none


They are pretty honest about the game:
QuoteThe game was originally controlled by an online publisher and not licensed to be released as pay to play title. We did not have full control over it, so we weren't allowed to make it the way we wanted to. Now we finally got the rights to it and get rid of all the free to play crap and mindless grind. It is a better game for it.

That is taken directly from their store page, I really like that kind of openness from a developer.

Tried the f2p style version a bit once. I did enjoy it although the f2p elements were as annoying as always. Hopefully stripping them leaves enough of a game that it becomes enjoyable, I think I'll test this.
