*taps foot impatiently like a child on christmas-eve while waiting for the Linux-client of Desura to get ready*
Desura is doing what Steam has been promising the Linux-community for years, and good on them for doing so. Running Steam with WINE on Linux is asking for trouble.
Benefits for Linux-users:
- All games in one place.
- No more fiddling around with .tar.gz's .bin's or whatever other obscure format devs decide on when making a linux-native game.
- No more clogging up dirs with random gamedirs that you're too lazy to organize.
- If all major Open Source games are also included, then Desura = all your gaming-needs on Linux.
- A central place to keep track of your different proprietary game-keys that you accumulate, an absolute must to a linux-user who is used to simply using a package-manager to install stuff with without all the reg-key-hassles.
Game on Keith! Desura will vacuum up all the Linux-gamers when this becomes a reality.
