Valve and others have done an excellent job in building out initial infrastructure for high profile games and we, as gamers, need to meet them somewhere in the middle. It's a two way effort needed to crack the dreaded chicken-and-egg problem. If you could do one thing to help the future, a worthy cause would be protecting them from closed software systems (not applications) destined to lead to dystopia, greed and corporations forcing users to play their game with their rules their way. GOL has served as a gaming hub to centralize and perpetuate excitement, and we've started the avalanche.Ģ5% of Steam Games on Linux or 2,500 games is an amazing accomplishment. Quoting: ElectricPrismYou may be tempered by the cold realities of _life experience_ but don't let that take your joy away - look at the huge success Linux has had as a platform in the last couple years partially due to people baiting developers into promising "Linux Support".Įvery one us us has made a impact by all our actions to help create a lightning rod and it's working. I've shot them a message to see if/when the Linux goal is hit, if it will be a same-day release or not.Ĭheck out the Kickstarter here. It's early days, but kicktraq has it currently going towards $4+ million. I wouldn't even consider pledging until it hits that level personally. We need it to hit $1.1 million for Linux to be supported, so let's see what happens shall we. Unity games generally don't perform all that well for us, which is my only concern right now. It's being built in Unity, so hopefully it will perform okay on Linux.
Having a much beefed up version will be awesome and Nightdive do seem to know their stuff.
I am pretty damn excited for this, as I loved the setting of System Shock, but it's just too far on the classic side for me to enjoy it. System Shock is a complete remake of the genre defining classic from 1994 built by a team of industry veterans. System Shock is being remade and it's probably going to be funded quite well. While it's sad to see it as a stretch-goal, I have big faith in Nightdive Studios due to their previous good support of Linux. Update: Nightdive aren't sure when the Linux version will arrive.
