One more thing we can do I forgot to mention is that if we see a Windows only game we enjoy we can send an email to the developer and publisher asking if there are any plans to release a Linux version. Even if there isn't it shows an interest by consumers.

Quoting: Speedster

Quoting: PublicNuisancevarious sensible stuff

You should pick a new name, this is false advertising ;)

Though mine is too, come to think of it hehe

Oh I can be a nuisance if someone gets me going but for the most part these days I'm much more laid back. I first took the name when I used to go to the System Wars forums at Gamespot in college back when it was the wild west there and I would troll with the best of them.

I agree with the bulk of the suggestions. I'm still fairly new to Linux and one thing that has been helpful is that whenever I have had issues people on many forums have been helpful. Some things I would add would be that we need to be patient. Linux isn't going to gain traction overnight or at a break neck pace but will take time. Newcomers to Linux, like myself, also need to tough it out. My dual booting Linux has not gone totally smooth for me but I have taken the time to solve what issues have come up. If newcomers give up on Linux after a few issues and go back to Windows that doesn't help anything.

I guess it's different for me because I know that long term I eventually want to go from dual booting with Linux to having Linux as my main OS. That makes me more committed than some who are just dipping their toes in.

Quoting: GuestMultiplayer only :(

Damn. There goes my interest. We need more FPS on Linux but I would prefer more single player FPS.

If I didn't already want this game then this would have sold me on it.

Quoting: dubigrasuI wonder what exactly "leaving the Linux porting business" means. I see he is leaving for The Astronauts, and they're looking into Linux too.

Indeed, hopefully they've poached him for Ethan Carter. Which would mean he didn't really leave the Linux porting business. I want that game...

I would love that. I'd much rather see a Linux version of Ethan Carter than Darksiders anyway. I always found Darksiders to be a very boring game. Maybe it's just the PC version, i'm not sure.

I for one would appreciate a Linux version. Would most certainly speed up my purchase of LOG 2 :)

I respect Valve's decision to not do business with them just as I respect Mike's decision to come back. If his company welcome him back and want him there then it's the right move.

If and when I buy there game it wouldn't have been on Steam anyway so all this incident has done to me has given me a few laughs. I'm surprised some people are mad that they will no longer get updates to the game on Steam. This could happen to any game on Steam. It's common knowledge. Get in bed with DRM and you may get bitten. Had they bought from a DRM free source you could get the updates from their site.

I'm a patient man, would rather a good port than a rushed port. I'd also rather have a playable demo for Divinity: Original Sin than a Linux port although both would be nice.

I can respect the man's honesty.
