There's no article yet but I'll be writing up something shortly, I'm working on it now but might not be out before the morning. I'm amazed by their Linux plans and deciding what I want to write or share at this time; it won't be anything too amazing. Saying the Linux Steam client is coming is already more than enough plus a few photos.
Btw, have you met Jeri Ellsworth by chance?
She's amazing.

Another game enigne. Fine. And?
Where are the actual games? We have a bazillion game engines. libraries and stuff working with Linux, BSD and whatsnot but which game company makes use of them? And from the ones which use these engines, are there any actually releasing games for Linux?
I know there are a few but it should be a hundred more.Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!

This is a commercial game engine - which means that they'll be pushing for people use it. Which means that there's more of a chance of a game being Linux-compatible made with that engine that there was before (which was natively: zero).

I'm a C4 user, have tried a few other engines and I think C4 is the bee's knees.
What convinced me to buy C4 was the tools, what I heard from other programmers about the code base and the personal service from the guy that wrote the engine.
Eric Lengyel has a PhD in Computer Science, a Masters in Mathematics and has worked at Naughty Dog Software's advanced technology group, Sony, Sierra On-Line, is the editor for the Game Engine Gems books, and is on the editorial board for the Journal of Graphics Tools. He also invented the Transvoxel Algorithm, which as far as I know, is one of the most requested feature by Unity users.
Check out his bio for more info and a description of the Transvoxel Algorithm at these links, or hit the search engines:
His combination of academic qualifications + real world industry experience is rare and it shows in the source code.
If you are a C++ programmer, drop by the C4 forums and ask some detailed questions, Eric will answer them in a few hours or on the same day.
