Quoting: FutureSuture

Quoting: SabunIsn't having Linux as a stretch goal part of the consensus that it's a no-no? Not even a mention of who they'd like to port the game. They probably haven't even thought about it that far. I'd figure with titles like 7 Days to Die, Contagion, Divinity, everyone would be more careful now. If they are sidelining Linux in the beginning, it is very likely they'll continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

If you don't mind paying for something you might get in 2 years time after Windows users have it, then go ahead. Just remember, don't be sad if you never get anything for your money.

What's the exact story behind those?

7 days to die, well they spoke to me a lot during their Kickstarter, now they are practically silent. Here's the Linux thread on it http://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?5739-Soooo-yeah-Linux-maybe, I was forced to chime in considering I actually used my own money to back them and feel betrayed by their utter lack of communication.

I've sent them another message today on Kickstarter and will reply to that thread again today.

What about the other two games that Sabun mentioned?

I absolutely love 2D Castlevania games (I wish so badly that 2D Castlevania games would come to Linux) so this game suits me perfectly. I just hope it's a good one! It certainly looks gorgeous to me and doesn't seem to mind using colours which is always a good thing.

Nevertheless, what I would like even more is if games like these started to use sharp, detailed 2D art instead of pixelated 2D art. A 2D Castlevania game with a massive budget allowing for the former would make me buy it for myself and friends like a crazy person!

Silly Square Enix. Guess I won't be buying any of its games in the foreseeable future!

How many of you actually contacted Gearbox in some manner to let the folks there know you're interested instead of just commenting here? If you haven't contacted Gearbox yet, then do so!

Quoting: SirKnightThis e been looks very good! I have been looking for a game like fallout/avernum that runs nativly on linux for years! (oh btw FutureSuture great picture, the os i use).

Thank you very much! I deem it the best distro to use for gaming considering how easy Manjaro makes it for one to install/update/switch graphics drivers and kernels. Good stuff, although for Balrum you really do not need anything that fancy.

Quoting: liamdawePetitions are utterly useless unless you gave a team of people behind them with a lot of time to spare to manage it. It requires constantly reaching out to people, constantly trying to get a dialog with the developer doing etc etc.

People seem to think petitions will accomplish anything, they have obviously never done a successful one before.

You are better of tweet to Randy and posting here, I've sent him the link to this.

This has nothing to do with Linux, but Dark Souls did come to Windows after being exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 due to a petition. Stuff can be accomplished with petitions, it's just rare that the parties they are intended for react to them.

There does not seem to be much variety in terms of weapons and enemies. :S:

Quoting: OrkultusNow i just wish Borderlands 1 and 2 would come to Linux!

I absolutely concur! Played Borderlands when I was still on Windows. I would love to continue playing it on Linux and eventually start Borderlands 2 as well!
