Thanks. I've been a fan of vimperator for a long time now and had no idea a bunch of the primary devs forked a new project.

One of my coworkers was explaining how Hawaii needn't worry about a 7 foot tsunami wave because they sometimes get 30 foot wind waves. You know, because tsunami waves are exactly like wind waves. I'm sure Australia has nothing to worry about!

Unless you only play 10 year old 2D games, you're not going to have a whole lot of fun playing games with Wine.
I agree that for new games it's safe to assume you're SOL as far as Wine is concerned. But what you describe is utterly false. Years ago (2006ish I believe) I played WoW solely in Wine. And that is hardly 10 years old, nor is it 2D. I also played through all of Half-Life 2 via Wine three or so years ago. Played lots of Warcraft III, and various other games.
Again, I realize none of those are brand spanking new. But they are far from 10 year-old 2D games. You say you don't like people spreading misinformation about it working better than it does. On the same token I don't like seeing people stomping it down making it out to be completely useless.

Only it's Japan. They actually sell real green tea over there. As in it isn't artificially sweetened like every god damn maker in the US does. Even Coca Cola sells the real deal over there.
And if you want real stuff here look for the Ito En brand. I live in South Dakota and was shocked when they started selling it at Target.

Stardock is another company that treats their customers like customers. Their games are DRM free. The only time you have to connect to their servers is if you want to patch your game. Windows only though.

Hemisphere Games Reveals Osmos Linux Sales Numbers 131
An anonymous reader writes "Hemisphere Games analyzes the sales numbers for their Linux port of Osmos and ask themselves, 'Is it worth porting games to Linux?' The short, simple answer is 'yes.' Breakdown and details in the post."
A few other interesting details: the port took them about two man-months of work, the day they released for Linux was their single best sales day ever, and they got a surprising amount of interest from Russia and Eastern Europe. Their data only reflects sales through their website, and they make the point that "the lack of a strong Linux portal makes it a much less 'competitive' OS for commercial development." Hopefully someday the rumored Steam Linux client will help to solve that.
