I've run Linux exclusively for over ten years (as of August 18th, but really, who's keeping track?). The only PC games I buy are the ones from a developer that supports Linux. I'm OK with waiting for the final release, I was just disappointed that I misread the page before buying into the alpha, tha...

On the purchase page, there is no Linux alpha build promised on there. There is a Linux final build promised, however.

Thanks... I totally forgot that I switched back to the open-source nv driver on this PC. Shoulda thought of that....... I haven't done Linux gaming in a few years, heh.

I'm running debian Stable at home, and debian Unstable at work. I probably will switch to debian Unstable at home soon, but Defcon doesn't seem to work on it... Now how am I gonna slack off? lol j/k
