I don't have a Mac. But I'll be jumping at the opportunity when Linux testing comes up. Oh yes, yes indeed.

 

[Keender_surprise]

So do existing purchasers get a partial refund for beta testing the product? No free rides, amirite?

 

[cubgrace]

No you are a cry baby,

I've already said it in other thread that demo works very nice under wine, so you don't have to wait.

HOLY CRAP!

YOUUUUU SON OF A BITCH!

sorry just felt like posting that because I had some coffee.
It had nothing to do with the actual thread

As should be obvious from other threads, I'm not "waiting" to play it.
Regardless of wine compatibility, there's still a native Linux version coming out, and I'll still be jumping at the opportunity when Linux testing comes up. Oh yes, yes indeed.

(Actually, I'd prefer to be playing it on my shitty laptop these days, mobility and convenience and all that, and wine emu adds just a leetle bit too much load for games it used to be able to play fine as a Windows lappy)

 

[meeneque]

How shitty your laptop is?
