Great interview, BTRE. Almost as great as the game is shaping up to be. I simply can't believe this could fail to get funded.

Looks fabulous, and I liked SW Dig as well. This shoots straight to my wishlist top five.

Finally bought Shadowrun Dragonfall for less than three euros. One less game on the wishlist. Also got Spelunky for free, which would be nice if it ran on Linux.

EDIT: Three, not four.

Quoting: IgnisGOG's definition of “soon” is pretty weird.

No weirder than Valve's. :)

Quoting: omer666On another hand, they almost dominate mobile phones market, on the past 5 years they were tied with Samsung.

Only in the US. In the EU and the rest of the world Android is the clear leader with more than 80% of the market.

Quoting: HalKadoInteresting thought, I do wonder if these businesses could have survived had they done it differently. I guess you could look at apple as a great example of a computer manufacture thats happy to make profit rather then dominate market share, but its a really different approach to business, I wonder if MS would have survived going that route.

Apple would love to dominate the market (well, any market). It's definitely not for lack of trying. They've got the smallish but extremely lucrative hipster and yuppie markets in their pocket though, so they do just fine.

Quoting: titiThe better question on this early state is if the developers have cross plattform development in mind !

They're developing for PS4, xbone and Windows so yes, they do. And this isn't the first cross-platform game they've done, they know what's involved. I think it's always better to ask if Linux is specifically one of the target platforms, just like Liam did.

Quoting: EhvisThese days an interesting question would be whether the game is developed primarily in Vulkan. Or even DX12. Both should make the porting effort a whole lot easier.

There's probably a strong chance they're using a version of the same in-house engine that their later SR games ran on. They could be adding a Vulkan backend though, who knows.

According to Volition the game is also part of the Saints Row universe apparently, even though it's not a sequel. I for one would love to play it on Linux.
