Introversion

Hi all,

Loving the demo, I want to buy the game, I'd only like to have confirmation on one point: will the windows registration key work on the future linux port?

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but I couldn't find any definitive answer, and this thread, though concerning the mac, introduced some doubts. As far as I understand, the linux port is done in-house, so the problem would not arise?

(I'm speaking of the non-steam version; I guess the steam version is windows-only.)

It probably will work, if Defcon is anything to go by.

And yes, Steam version is Windows only.

Thanks for the fast answer.

I've just bought the game (together with Darwinia). ^_^

Hello!
I have bought the game through Steam, but the key Steam gave me works well with the windows demo downloaded directly from IV's website, so can I assume it will work too with the Linux version when it's released?

I wouldn't assume anything at all. It might work, and it seems likely (given that Steam keys work with the non-Steam Windows version), but I wouldn't count on it.

That being said, why did you even bother posting this? The question had already been answered several months ago. As the Linux version is not yet out, why do you expect that anyone would have any new information?

I asked it because the previous posts left in doubt concerning the compatibility of the Steam version.
Anyway, I agree with you, nothing will be confirmed until the Linux version is released.
Thanks for the answer!
