Just to clarify a common misunderstanding in the original article: Wasteland was not a trigger factor in getting Unity ported to Linux. The project Kickstarter happened to coincide with the announcement of the platform support, but did not cause it. Dedicated developers had been working on the port for a long time before it was announced. One does not simply walk into Linux.

I'm sure it's just me who missed it, but where exactly is it Angry Birds did their contribution of innovation to the rest of us?
