Hi
Why Croteam don't want sell games for Linux on Desura and Indie Royale?
Indie Royale - The Serious Sam Pack (Windows)
- Serious Sam: The First Encounter
- Serious Sam: The Second Encounter
the SUMMER BUNDLE (Windows)
- Serious sam 2
"This might be a bit off-topic, but I have an information that Croteam will ship Linux version of their Serious Sam 3 as soon as Valve releases the Steam client for Linux.
On Thursday, Croteam had a speech at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb, Croatia where they spoke about some details of how they started and how have they made the Serious Sam series. At the end, they held a Q&A session for students who are interested in game development.
One of the questions was whether they plan to support Linux with their game. They answered that most of the Croteam people are Linux enthusiasts and that they have a linux builds of almost every version of Serious Sam, but they use those build for only in-house playing. The reason for that is the non-existence of good DRM software for Linux that would protect their software from being illegally copied. But, as they switched to using Steam as DRM and distribution framework, they said that they will release a Linux client "the very first day when Valve releases Steam client for Linux".
This is a very good news because in my opinion, Serious Sam is probably the best FPS ever."
