Jeru Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 At opensource.com, Travis Kepley outlines a brief history of commercial gaming on Linux (and how it's all about to change). He is very optimistic about games for Android (a Linux distro), about Steam for Linux and about projects like the Humble Indie Bundle. Do you agree?(Hat tip: Mahmoud Abdul Jawad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur_D Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Well, I agree that these things are great, but I'm less over-enthusiastic about it. Let's first see the results after a year or so from now on; then we can perhaps permit ourselves to have trouble sleeping at nights.Personally I'm more interested in 0A.D. than the Valve games, because the "historical RTS" genre is totally unoccupied in the Linux and open source world (maybe with the exception of Widelands, but it ain't too historical (or hysterically fun to play either)).So keep up the good work with 0 A.D., and I'll promise WFG will at least get some dough for the doing by me. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisle Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I am excited but if I have learned anything while using linux is dont get your hopes too high, otherwise you are likely to be disappointed when it comes to mainstream gaming for linux! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
