I always wanted to check what's the hype for ... I don't see anything special about the game (yet), but it's got so great ratings that I'll have to buy and check it out.

Wow, even my old 555 gtx has OpenGL 4.2 ...

I think I'd love this, but I don't think on my computer I'll be able to play it due to high graphics requirements (4 year old Alienware X51...).

That one I'd love. Was looking for a long time for a real time strategy game to be played on Linux.

This looks great, and very promising story-whise. I'd love to see it on Linux. Though, "looking into it" is way less than confirming development, it's cool to see that dev studios start to seriously consider linux ports though.
They all work for money, if it is too risky they probably won't go for it. But it's a good sign for all of us.

I personally don't think it could ever replace my mouse, especially not because I use the razer naga ;-). It's still the only gamepad which I consider could be worth buying.

Better late than never on Linux. Important is that they do it right, a short delay on the beta won't hurt too much. I am in the 110 tier, so I even will get an extra copy of it.

The machine isn't the issue about the thing valve is planning - I'm really more curious about the controller and what the pricing will be - and if it will be available without the machines. I really do plan to put one of them in my living room after release (and I'll probably build the machine myself because I doubt that anyone of that vendors gets the grasp of what I want :D).

I understand that decision very well. I had to drop out of my open source development projects a few years back due to personal reasons, which left behind a whole distribution with unusable stuff. But I had to do that decision for my own sake.

Sometimes it's important to look first at your life, family and serious business for you before going back. Even though, in my case I never went back (but there is a replacement / better solution in development now after 4 years, and I know because I lately started to look and analyze this solution, maybe I go back providing patches and fixes for it).

I like the site, and I think the staff and people are great and are putting a lot of hard work into this, the articles usually well researched, and as a supporter I have no intention to drop the support for the page any time soon just over this issue (except if the site dies, ofc :D).

Quoting: KristianLike the trailer said this isn't being developed by Paradox, only published by them. The development studio is the one behind the Cities in Motion games.

Even that being true, it's mostly the publisher pulling the strings on weather a platform is to be supported or not, because they're the financial background of the development studios - the publishers fund the development. So either Paradox is sure that linux gaming has a future and see a strategical reason, their ports are cheap enough so it results in a profit (so their engine and tools would have to be pretty good - don't know what City In Motion / this game use), or it's for marketing and press reasons - which I personally wouldn't underestimate.
