Well, we know for a fact he is prepping Postal 2 for RWS, but he did seem to be implying that he was working on several different titles, so here is hoping. :D

By the way, I'm doing a little experimenting with the price of the game. It's been reduced, so you can now get it at $14.99 USD.

This is taking too long for my taste. :p The sooner Steam hits Linux in full force, the sooner GOG can get to it as well!

Indeed I don't know why they didn't, I wander how long it will take them to sift through all the applicants, probably at least a week? So maybe closed beta end of next week?

It caused some confusion judging from what I have seen. They could have updated both as well as announced that the updates will move to the groups. Silly Valve!

Who knows maybe now they proper groups are up on the website it will just be all done there?

So why did Valve not update the Valve Linux Blog with this survey? It's been over a month since the last update.

I love how it said Windows, Linux, and Mac at the end. Linux is in the middle for once. :D The concept itself seems interesting as well. Will keep an eye on this.

Hm, I missed that then. But it being part of the sub is a new thing, definitely just had the install script a week ago. Hopefully TL2 is coming to Linux though.

*shrug*
It belongs to a sub that's called "[URL='http://cdr.thebronasium.com/app/subs/223070']Torchlight 2 Editor Retail[/URL]", so I imagine there's some mistake there somewhere.

Quoting: "Anon, post: 6071"Sorry to disappoint, but Valve223070 is almost certainly the demo of Defender's Quest - just look at the install script there.

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 6068, member: 6"Sad that they do not have most of these games on the Linux Desura. Of course they did not give out Desura keys for the HIB release of Amnesia even though that one is available on the service, so in general Frictional does not seem very inclined to Desura unfortunately.

It seems that many devs have been shying away from Desura for assorted reasons.

QuoteCorey Cole says:

I posted it in the FAQ: We definitely want to support Linux, and it's a question of funding. The issue is that our minimum goal is barely enough to support finishing the project in six months. If we don't make any stretch goals, we won't have time to ensure a Linux version is rock-solid. Every penny will go into completing and testing the game. Hopefully we will do better and be able to add Linux support.

What are your target platforms? Will you support Linux?

Initially we will support Windows and Macintosh. We are using the Unity engine, which works on a variety of platforms. However, there are significant costs involved in customizing and testing the game on each additional platform. As our first stretch goal, in addition to content improvements, we plan to support Linux, iPad, and selected additional iOS and Android devices.

So even though it requires no extra effort since they use Unity and I pointed that out to them in the conversation, it's still going to be a stretch goal, very dissapointing and a project i won't be contributing to.

@cheeseness: Thanks, that was exactly my intent.
@motorsep: Indeed, no idea how steam works (I never had windows or a mac) and not trolling. And a clear ++ for 'not steam-only' ;^>

Well yeah compared to others it may seem expensive but something that bugged me is that everyone expects games to be a lower when you used to buy stuff like it for much more still.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6051, member: 1"It's not a bad price at all I think, looking forward to seeing more games.

Compared to some of the other prices on Desura it is not that competitive. About five dollars more than what would be comparable.

I am not trying to bitch too much, and I am happy to see it is there, especially since there is no DRM as far as I am aware. Just making an observation.

EDIT: Case in point, Majesty is about 10$ and it is about comparable to Robin Hood I would say.

So, they have got one of their games up already.

The good news: they put up a Linux title first.

The bad news: the price is still a little steep. But better than the $40 dollars that was listed for it at Tux Games when it was still in stock.
