Desura Announce A New Embeddable Widget, Accounts No Longer Needed To Buy Games
By Liam Dawe, 6 May 2014 at 2:13 pm UTC
Quoting: DaVinceThe only thing I'm worried about is that there's no links in the widget to the actual game page on Desura. So you have to do a manual search if you really want to know anything more about the game.

Yeah, that also bugged me a little bit, but it's meant for the developer site directly, so all the info you need is supposed to be on the page it's in.

I saw this boiling over on the Jimquisition:

Afterwards on the forums the dev was offering (jokingly) the "Jim Sterling edition" for $100 a pop for Jim's fans. Quite the troll, this Muxwell.
SuperTuxKart Open Source Racer Is Going Graphical With A New Engine

Quoting: MikeThey should really sell this on steam to help fund the project and game engine (which would then help other devs by giving them a good open source game engine to work with). There's nothing to say that open source means no profit, and those who still want it for free could still get it.
I agree with this. That is how the elementary OS team does it as well. It offers elementary OS as a download for a default 10$ but allows people to download elementary OS for free right below that offer. I really would like to see SuperTuxKart gain more attention and funding.

Valve really does need some community managers. People that can keep an eye on everything, and also to play games (only an hour or two needed) to weed out the trash.

Steam is an awesome place to buy games, and to talk about those games, but when you're buying a game from a publisher that isn't one of the big ones, you run the risk that you paid a lot of money for 5 minute trash.

Good on Valve for stepping up on this one. Though I'm a bit amazed the "game" made it as far as it did.

Nice, I'll buy this it seems like it might be good, although secondary reason is that I may or may not be going to develop on that engine but every game I play on it will help me know better if it's suited for my purposes or not :)

Yeah the game looked way too fast I don't know if it was sped up...The guy also has a tough time staying in the small path/track.

Steam Workshop integration is done, meaning they can move on to their other outstanding points:
Quoting: RWSFirst we'll tidy up the Steam release for DRM free (which is a little bit of work, we want to make it so the Steam workshop mods also work with the DRM free build if manually installed, using the same menu system). Then we'll pass both builds off to Ryan to do his magic.

Codemasters Looking At Supporting Linux, GRID Autosport Possible

The FIA Formula E Simulator is also probably on the way to Linux. But this sounds like it will be something different from the usual racing sim with features like racing live with the real events and such.

Torque 2D Game Engine Offers Full Linux Support In New Update
By berarma, 5 May 2014 at 5:15 pm UTC
I think a line should be drawn to differentiate Id Software's history from that of Zenimax. Id Software ported games to GNU/Linux, Zenimax didn't but it's now making decisions on Id Software's games.
Torque 2D Game Engine Offers Full Linux Support In New Update

I agree that Quake series is not the best example to predict sales of the games for Linux in 2014. However, I strongly believe that they are still afraid to make a risky decision about selling games for Linux. They tried to do it in the past several times, and they do not want to waste money. I can understand that id software is a bit controversial topic because many people had been describing them as a Linux-friendly company for many years. Always one person id software had a weird motivation to port games to Linux, even if in most cases they did not earn any money. Mac users spent more money on games ported by id software (or other company), and I think they have a good reason to blame id software when they dropped support for Quake Live. Linux users always believed that id software is a Linux friendly company, and they should buy games for Windows to run them on Linux - Seriously?. We have a final result of this behavior of the users, and I think that will be hard to change their opinion about Linux users.
Perhaps, Steams OS will change this situation, but I have to admit that many people was a little a bit Naive about the process of porting games to Linux by id software.
However, I should mention that Activision probably has a similar opinion about porting games to Linux, because they cooperated with Loki that was not a successful company. Id software is not single example in this case, but really popular among Linux users.

Quoting: gbudny
Quoting: liamdaweThe latest id engine is probably capable of supporting Linux, but they chose not to port Rage as Carmack claimed Linux doesn't sell.

Trouble is they never actually sold Linux versions just offered them as a download, so he was talking out of his ass.
I hope that is a joke because I know that you are a founder of this website.

I remember that three games created by id software were published as box versions:

Quake: The Offering
Quake II: Colossus
Quake III Arena

It's called an oversight, me being the founder of GOL doesn't mean anything.

Besides the Quake 3 games where released for Linux and sold in 1999, you really trust a company who uses sales from 1999 to justify stuff?

Quake Live is also an old title revamped into the browser, so again not a good way to judge Linux interest.
