AMD needs to step up the core performance in their CPU's, having many cores is good but they're not helping if they perform slow, one thing I also don't agree with is that you have to OC them to get performance on par with Intel. I would have gone for AMD if I didn't strong cores for MMOs.

On the other hand their GPU's are only held back by good drivers on Linux, as for Windows they aren't so bad and perform rather competitively against Nvidia.

I love Soldak's games, simple graphics but darn good solid gameplay, I'll surely pick this up at some point.

The GOG version was delayed because the GOG team found a game breaking bug, they said the fix is scheduled for today but of course this depends on inXile and judging by DrMcCoy's links it seems Steam users discovered this the hard way.

Quoting: OrkultusJust watch.. after this, no more Linux releases of their games.

Doubt that will happen after the time they spent porting the engine to support future projects.

I hope this time is for real, I played D: OS a lot last summer and that was shortly before I switched to Linux. Can't wait to put my hands on it again.

Can't wait to buy this :-) Frozenbyte has always been an awesome developer towards Linux users.

Thanks for the news Liam, I didn't give up hope on this but I kinda lost the hype for this game and since I've just bought SOMA and Shovel Knight it will take me a couple of weeks to get my payment to buy this but this is definitely on my list.

Quoting: maodzedunOh, I'm so sick of this "I've never taken the survey" bull. Even if you all took it it would increase the Linux percent from 0.9 to 1.5% if we're generous. Congratulations - I'm sure EA, Ubisoft and Rockstar will come running to port their AAA games. "I thought it was only 0.9%, but by God, it's 1.5!!! Quickly - call VP so we can have GTA 5 ready for Ubuntu 15.10". Somebody pointed out earlier that it is completely absurd for you to presume you're better at number crunching and market research than the entire dedicated departments of a multi-billion dollar corporation.

0.9%, 1.5%, To companies such as EA, Ubi and Rockstar these numbers won't matter much, I mean look at Mac it has a bigger number than that and yet you don't see any Battlefield, Assassin's Creed or GTA V on Mac do you? It is no secret that EA seeks only profit in their games without adding much to their formula and also one of the main reasons Origin was built for.

As for the Steam survey itself, it only reflects the Steam user base and only the ones who took the survey, there are people who buy only from GOG and Humble Bundle for the DRM-Free. It's not just EA, but any company who judges a user base on just 1 store is doing it a bit wrong and getting the wrong numbers.
