Basically, World of Tanks in space.

Pretty good so far though!

Looks like another Space Colony-like. I loved that game, so I'll probably pick this up some time, when it's on Linux.

confirming it works.. few graphical glitches on highest settings though. like some random black square appears for 0.5s or something, nothing game breaking however.

game looks and controls super good.

World of Tanks with Spaceships!

Quoting: Beamboom
Quoting: AnonymousI can't imagine anyone would want to buy this on Wii U? Seriously?
This poll has to be severely skewed based on what fan sites out there who happen to have linked to this poll so far. That WiiU domination is a joke.

Still, it's really cool to see SteamOS being almost as strong as the PS4. Let's enjoy that while it last. :)
I don't think the Wii U domination is a joke at all tbh, 6 million units sold and no proper racing game on the system. Meanwhile Xbox and PS have Forza and GT, why would they even care for this game?
System Shock 2 FPS Now Available On Linux

From I get, the GOG and Steam versions both use an unofficial patch for the original binary that was made by an anonymous French programmer. This patch was, in all likeliness, made using the recovered source code, but since it was a patch to a binary that someone still owns the copyright for, and it was released anonymously in the public domain, it's okay for license holders to use that, but not the source code for the reasons liamdawe mentioned.

Queue the "what do you call 1000 lawyers..." jokes.
Nobuo Uematsu Of Final Fantasy Fame To Work On Defenders Quest II Theme

AWESOME!

I am not a huge tower defense fan, but for some reason, I really like the original DQ and I've been really excited for the sequel. Even moreso now. :D

I just voted for Steam OS. As for the Wii U, Project CARS is the last AAA game in the pipe for the Wii U after Watch Dogs (if WD ever gets a Wii U release date, which is questionable), so it's not a shock Wii U fans are turning out in droves.

Us Linux fans are also swamping the results. At the time of this posting
Xbone - 3.54%
ps4 - 12%
Steam OS 18.38%
Windows 18.55%
Wii U 47.53&

So according to this poll the Steam OS version will outsell the Xbone, PS4 & match Windows 1 to 1. I like seeing the results, but I don't believe them to be accurate.

Everything is beating Xbox one, just as it should be :-)

Quoting: minjIt seems GOG were given full access to the source code to release it on their platform in 2013 (a year later) so I bet this whole 'lost' business is plain BS.
Source? As far as I'm aware, they just used the community patches, though I can't say I'm on top of Windows releases.

EDIT: I said 'it seems' implying that it's only my interpretation but after having read the whole interview on RPS I can't possibly see it other way.

Great news! :D

I really enjoy this game. It was my first game as backer and made me proud to fight for a Linux version.

(PS. Now, I can remove the Windows partition I've installed on my machine just to beta test Wasteland 2...)

1st day Linux? or days later or years later?

@c704710 weeks! or months. I'll make sure it won't get past 2 months :) I am using Unity engine, so moving to Linux/OSX should be easier, but with my past experience, there are tiny problems that might come up. So there's that. If no problem came up, then it could just be days ( I am hoping this is the case ) :)

Indeed, a company can't just use someones "found" source-code, they would need to audit every-line character by character to make sure there was no tampering...and that's too time consuming for anyone to do.
