While it took something like a year and they really should have given status updates, they did eventually deliver the promised Linux port of Vessel.

That's why I'm willing to give Humble Bundle Inc. the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. It's a lot easier to say "Hey, we had a contract. What's the hold-up?" to a developer when it's a porting job that had a deadline rather than actually writing a game with no agreed-upon release date.

As I understand it, with Vessel, it took so long because they basically had to fire the old porter and start over from scratch and the way the fluid-simulating bits of Vessel's engine used threads made them tricky to port from DirectX to OpenGL.

Originally posted by philip550c View PostYes but they really shouldnt allow them to add games that are ready yet. In the case of splot it hasnt been released on any platform yet but I bought it years ago. And as for ports its also annoying how ports are done for the bundles but then they dont show up on steam sometimes. Like Papo and Yo, thats still not on steam for linux yet.
