oak: I think it's important to note that the GPL is and was designed with _the user_ in mind, not the developer. Which is why some people seems to like to call it names and make it out to be a big and scary beast, it's really not though.

Technically I don't think neither Frozenbyte nor Introversion has released any games as FLOSS. The license for these is still non-commercial, and in the case of Introversion you can't even redistribute.

+1

There's usually a big spike of of pledges at the start and beginning of Kickstarter runs, so it isn't all that surprising.

It would actually be kind of cool if the pedestrians started to fight against the racers, planting traps etc. like in [URL='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072856/']Death Race 2000[/URL].

So, something I've been thinking about for a while, might as well ask what you all think:

If there was a Windows game that for some reason couldn't be ported for a bundle, and didn't work in Wine. Would you prefer it if the Humble guys paid someone to improve Wine (not just package up the game) so the game could run, or would you prefer it if they ditched the title and selected another game for a native port? (Keep in mind that improving Wine would be a contribution to open source and might improve Wine compatibility for other games as well.)

Personally I'm sitting on the fence, regarding the Wine issue. Not sure if I'm going to sign the petition or not.

It did come up during the last AMA the bundle guys did, so they are very much aware of the controversy. I just worry that Linux users comes off as being demanding or pushy.

Quite interesting that Psychonauts in the bundle is an honest-to-god port, where as the previously released version for Mac was using using Cider (basically Wine for Mac):

Cool! Coolcoolcool.

I pre-ordered this one ages ago, and was quite disappointed when it turned out that the Linux port was MIA.

QuoteTo everyone asking about a Mac version of the game, we've been saying that if we hit the $425,000 level, we'd add it. Linux support is definitely on the table too! (After all, who'd be a better Decker?)

Sure sounds good!
