Who cares if they "sell out" they could do worse things to sell out. I some how doubt with their backgrounds in the games industry that this will be a steaming pile of sh*t that other tie-in games have been. And i'm pretty sure that with all the charity work they do they're allowed some perks of being famous. Well internet famous.

Will definitely be having a look at this when it comes out.

Can we buy MS Points from the US and use them on UK accounts? Isn't it illegal for them to stop us doing that? A 50% price hike is ****ing insulting.

How's the PC version being published? Just download from their site, or steam?

wow.... a game that supports linux. I think i might just have to check it out then for my slackware system

They're creating a work of art in a medium of which they've been professional critics for years. This is like saying that FutureMark is selling out by making a game. They're also doing the noble thing and putting out a game that will actually run on everyone's computers, and pricing it much cheaper than most other new material on the market. I say kudos to them.

A semi-mainstream game written for linux? I'll have to check this out!

HourBeforeDawn · 28th Mar 2008, 21:18

sure why not I will give it a shot. ^_^

I'm not expecting anything exceptional but I'll probably give it a shot unless it gets really poor reviews. As if this is selling out, they're just trying something new, it sounds fairly unique.

looks like it'd be worthwhile to give it a shot, certainly. I agree that it's nice to see a linux version announced!
