Get Sweeping, Dustforce Now On Steam For Linux

Quoting: FutureSutureHopefully this kind of stuff will happen on GOG as well. Capsized doesn't even have the Mac OS client on GOG currently.
It is almost completely up to developers whether they decide to sell Linux or Mac build on Steam, GOG or any other store. Often legal issues stay in way of doing so, often it is simple laziness. But if there is anyone to blame, it is developers.

Whatever Happened To Torchlight On Linux? UPDATED

That made me laugh in light of recent situation with Stanley Parable developer :D

There are still quite many Linux ports that are available only via Humble library (if you purchased them in Humble Bundle), Humble Store, Ubuntu Software Center, Gameolith or other source, but not on Steam. Torchlight is only one of them, there are also Braid, Lone Survivor, Dustforce, Wizorb, NightSky, BEEP, McPixel, No Time To Explain, Cortex Command (rework with new Linux port was announced for last two of mentioned). However, after some time and probably community influencing devs, we finally see LIMBO and Super Meat Boy, Broken Sword 1 and 2. I guess our voice can do good, if we don't threaten anybody, so let them hear us :D

Quoting: gbudnyhardpenguinMacs always come with NVIDIA card on board, so it is a bit more standarized platform than Linux (install on any hardware, yay!)
I think that you did not to have a chance to use own Mac computer because you did not tell the truth about graphic cards. From my point of view, they sell computers with Intel, ATI, and Nvidia graphic cards. I did not notice any standardization in this case, and I say this as a Mac and Linux user.
Omahgad, you are right, I just noticed that. I once was on Apple's website and all models they suggested to me were with NVIDIA on board ;3

THEN THERE IS NO EXCUSE, LINUX VIDEO GRAPHICS DRIVERS IMPROVE NOW

Virtual Programming Are Working To Improve The Witcher 2 On Linux

Give them some time... Most important thing is, they will work on that port and they wanna learn from their mistakes. If it worked for Macs it should work for us - the difference is, Macs always come with NVIDIA card on board, so it is a bit more standarized platform than Linux (install on any hardware, yay!)

And if you think that CDP is not involved, you are probably wrong, because I doubt that Virtual Programming would fix their Witcher port for free, out of kindness. The guy above is right about support in big companies. It is often much easier to contact actual developers than publisher.

I'm interested, if they bring first Witcher to Linux, too (yes, it is available for Mac already). I wanna play the whole trilogy!
