I absolutely concur! Played Borderlands when I was still on Windows. I would love to continue playing it on Linux and eventually start Borderlands 2 as well!

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

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...

"And, as always, we here at GOL encourage you not to buy upcoming Linux games until they are released!"
You mean not to buy Windows versions of upcoming Linux games, right?

Until we see some actual proof, then this is wishful thinking. Look how long it's taking them to port Enemy Unknown to linux.

Star Citizen Space Combat & Trading Sim Will Come To Linux, Chris Roberts States At PAX
By zirlo, 12 April 2014 at 5:12 pm UTC

berillions, I'm not a native English speaker either and unfortunately my french is not good enough - but here are some things about operating systems as I understood them:

-Matt Higby (Sony Online Entertainment) doesn't know anything about Linux, the open source scene and SteamOS. Palmer Luckey (Oculus) uses and recommends trying out SteamOS.
-Nvidia and Chris Roberts agree that multi-threading will become even more important. Especially for Microsoft. Chris Roberts also says that Mantle and DirectX12 will help with some problems in game development for Windows.
-Chris Roberts complains about Macs constantly having problems in the CIG offices.
-Star Citizen will support Linux, and all the SC servers are on Linux. It will be 64bit only.
-Sony doesn't have "any plans right now" to bring Planet Side 2 to Linux and Mr. Higby is sceptical if more AAA games will come to linux soon.
-Chris Roberts says that the main problem with development for Linux is the rendering pipeline, which is the engine's job: "When all of the major engines support Linux, then, out of the box, it's much easier." He thinks we will see more games move to linux and that "It would be nice to have competition" among the operating systems.
-Nvidia will "continue to make the best linux driver in the world."

Moebius: Empire Rising Adventure Game Delayed For Linux Because Of Unity3D

Promise a Linux version in order to get rich off of Linux users. Totally makes sense...

I thought Civ 5 was the one coming to Linux. If that's not, then I have my doubts on this. Until Firaxis says it themselves, I will restrain myself from getting happy and hyped up on it :)

Wonder if they're speculating on there being a Linux version due to the Civ V rumours.

As a civilization and linux fan this is a great news. Will it be a sequel of alpha sentaury? A sequel of civ V, a mix of the two? Or a completely different game? Something from pandora? I wonder how implement this "quests". It seems the orbital layer only is from support. Hope in a future can be space wars, and space stations.

It's a great time to be on linux.

ps:I remember the old rumors about the civV on linux it was close to reality.
