Unfortunately, right now the game is broken on Linux. You get a CTD every time you load it up. Might work in Wine until they get that fixed, but I didn't try that because I have a Windows partition.

Does not look like a combat racer/battle racer to me. I will stick with SuperTuxKart and the occasional Mario Kart.

It is a fantastic game. Everyone should try it.

I already did the Twitter thing and a big Steam forum but I am posting here too.
+1 for Linux Borderlands. Will buy all DLC and a copy or two for my friends since I already (regrettably) bought a Windows version back when I actually used Windows.

$10 is expensive in some parts of the world, but in my neck of the woods it's about what people pay for a single movie ticket -- this kind of game has WAY more hours of fun than a movie!

Contagion listed Linux as a stretch goal on their kickstarter. Now they have already released for Windows, and have only ever had a Windows executable since being on Steam. They claim to be working on it now but have no ETA, but have previously cited that "We'll do what we can but each platform requires separate license fees" and a possible ETA is "definitely this year". Those aren't very convincing.

They have only recently stated that what's next is Linux and Mac support, but it is further down the list. As my previous statement, for all those Linux gamers who backed it, it is very likely you'll have to wait up to 1 year or more from the Windows release.

I don't hold them in contempt, it's just right now we have nothing else but the developers few sparse words to go on. Unlike other games, which at least have a Linux executable even before full release (Wasteland 2 and Starbound for example).

For Divinity, just read the Kickstarter pledge "If Mac and Linux versions -and other languages- become available they will be free to owners of PC copies". Notice the usage of IF. They haven't planned for it. It's a "if we've got nothing better to do, then we'll do it" style of "supporting" Linux.

If I am wrong on any of this, please correct me. This is from me following these games and trying to keep up with what's happening. If I'm wrong, I'll be glad as it would mean they're serious about Linux.

Don't you guys ever forget about Humble Bundle role in all this. If Valve can pave the way to Linux gaming with stone its because HB walked into the unknown without even a dirt road.

Does the song's lyrics comment on the action a la Bastion?

400 games is a bit of a milestone, at least. I remember back in the beta, when the majority of games available for Linux had already been featured (and bought) in various Humble Bundles. When Crusader Kings II came out, I was overjoyed; the first ***** game for Linux since Neverwinter Nights and Dominions 3.

I've been having a decent amount of fun with this. Even after the initial humor wears off there's plenty of challenging platforming/puzzles to be had.

Quoting: ElectricPrismIf this game isn't overly violent and just a fun FPS I'll get it if it launchnes on Linux.

Well you should probably use smaller weapons then and don't aim at heads with the sniper ^^
Jokes aside, Borderlands 2 is definitely a lot of fun :)

I also no longer buy games that aren't on Linux.

I think the 'no music' is a linux bug. You can swap weapons btw :P

I have it in desura for some unknown reason. I played it and its not my kind of game.

Is there more to it than running up to neon squares and shooting neon spiders with neon lasers?

View this comment - View article - View full comments

I appreciate the fact that Desura allows for online downloads, but honestly that is not the deal breaker for me as long as the game I get is independent from the service once I have it downloaded.

Needing a client to download a title in of itself does put a limit on the distribution of a game, but much the same still applies to an online store front as well; if the website goes away, you lose access to your games. As long as the game is independent from the service when it is downloaded I can back it up and use it theoretically indefinitely.

Not that I am actually all that organized when it comes to making backups, but I definitely appreciate the option, and would do so if I was provoked or forewarned of an upcoming store closure.

Quoting: SabunIsn't having Linux as a stretch goal part of the consensus that it's a no-no? Not even a mention of who they'd like to port the game. They probably haven't even thought about it that far. I'd figure with titles like 7 Days to Die, Contagion, Divinity, everyone would be more careful now. If they are sidelining Linux in the beginning, it is very likely they'll continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

If you don't mind paying for something you might get in 2 years time after Windows users have it, then go ahead. Just remember, don't be sad if you never get anything for your money.

What's the exact story behind those?

7 days to die, well they spoke to me a lot during their Kickstarter, now they are practically silent. Here's the Linux thread on it http://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?5739-Soooo-yeah-Linux-maybe, I was forced to chime in considering I actually used my own money to back them and feel betrayed by their utter lack of communication.

I've sent them another message today on Kickstarter and will reply to that thread again today.

What about the other two games that Sabun mentioned?

They should go plain C.

c++ complexity is dangerous from many view angles.

At the very least they are attentive, and have given an estimate of 3 months after the Windows release. I'd be a lot more trusting if we actually knew who would port the title. If it was Ryan Gordon or Ethan Lee or any other prominent Linux porter(s) we knew, it would be worthwhile. Right now, there is still quite a lack of transparency, although they have given us more information in that reply. Thanks for posting it Liam.

I think we also have Canonical/Ubuntu to thank, without doubt. From there, the whole free software stack also deserves credit.
