It caused some confusion judging from what I have seen. They could have updated both as well as announced that the updates will move to the groups. Silly Valve!

So why did Valve not update the Valve Linux Blog with this survey? It's been over a month since the last update.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 5847, member: 1"Under their Key Features section it states "Single player or up to four players cooperative gameplay.".

Four player cooperative gameplay? Now that's interesting. I already know that it will be no Borderlands, but it's intriguing nevertheless.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 5774, member: 1"The game itself is easily one of if not the most impressive looking shooter we will have on our platform.

I was thinking the same thing, but I am not sure that's a good thing as there are far better looking games out there. Nevertheless, it's a start. The game better have other excellent aspects too, otherwise I wouldn't feel comfortable with Linux users supporting a pretty but otherwise crappy game. Yes, we should support game developers, but we shouldn't reward them for poor games.

On a more positive note, the Linux request on GOG has now made 7 000 votes. :D

The comments indicate disappointment and disapproval. One even goes as far as to say...

Quoting: bmr5770I'm so tired of excuses like GOG's: " really difficult to bring the [URL='http://GOG.com']GOG.com[/URL] level of support and ease-of-use to the wide variety of distros that are commonly used by Linux users". It's pure BS. If you *ask the communities* they WILL help you. Companies need to stop the "we have to do it all" mentality when dealing with Linux. You want it to work on Arch Linux, ask the Arch Community. Ubuntu? Ask them.. Slackware, Fedora, Newflavor Linux - JUST ASK. Heck, under a Linux forum, make sub-forums for each one, assign a community moderator. Make a [URL='http://GOG.com']GOG.com[/URL]. We're the Linux community. If sound doesn't work for Game X on our distro, yeah, we'll complain...then we'll find a fix...or work with you to find one. At the very least, you could simply provide the DOS based games with recommended settings for DosBox (which the various distros already have working). You could partner with Code Weaver to create standalone Wine wrappers for the MS Windows based games. There are any number of easy ways to start supporting Linux, right now. So please stop with the "it's hard" line - it's been way over used. Just add it and ask us for help.

My wallet may suffer soon. Poor thing. I have read that there are actually Linux users who like Linux due to the severe lack of games, allowing them to work away. Their productivity and their wallets will suffer soon as well!

The game managed to reach three of its stretch goals after being funded. Nevertheless, what's this?

Quoting: Chris TaylorNow that the campaign is wrapped up there are a few things I want to mention. First and foremost is that since we got so close to the $50,000 being met, and because so many people have said they're going to pledge through paypal, I'm going to go ahead and include Fates Change and Tablet Support in Arakion!

Guess that's five stretch goals met. ;)

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 5658, member: 122"There are [URL='http://steamlinux.flibitijibibo.com/index.php?title=Native_Games']many games[/URL] with Linux clients that are also on Steam, but don't have Linux listed in their CDR.

Here's the CDR for Trine if you want to keep an eye on it: http://cdr.thebronasium.com/app/35700

I was just curious as to why Trine 2 was on there but Trine hadn't yet made it. Thanks. :p

Does Trine not have a Linux client? :confused:
