Broken Sword 1 Directors Cut & 2:Remastered Now On Steam For Linux
By DrMcCoy, 12 April 2014 at 11:44 pm UTC

The ones I got from the Humble Bundle and the ones on Steam are native (in fact, IIRC, they are identical). I really doubt the the Humble Store versions are different there.

Broken Sword 1 Directors Cut & 2:Remastered Now On Steam For Linux
By , 12 April 2014 at 11:39 pm UTC

Has anybody bought these through the Humble Store? The icons say Linux supported, but the sys req mentions only windows (BS1) and Windows/Mac (BS2). Only BS5 is consistent with the icons and sys req. Is it safe to assume BS1&2 are Linux native and not some wine wrapper?

These scenarists are really optimistic. We will all die from our own pollution and inability to evolve from our deep stupidity long before we get a chance to destroy other planets.

The only question I have now is: How many sales do Take 2 require for them to consider continuing their Linux support as-is (or better yet, expanding on it)?

It's Dark, A New Creepy Horror/Adventure Game On Desura
By OZSeaford, 12 April 2014 at 7:04 pm UTC

Well I have around 540 games of which 220 are Linux.

How many have I really played thoroughly? Not that many...

Most of mine come from bundles...

Even if no more Linux games not produced anymore, and the current trend to show the opposite, I could probably game on Linux for several years with ones I have already...
