Linux Gamers Are Going Crazy For This New Game

[Qaridarium]

Because it's not a AAA game. CS:GO is a AAA game, Counterstrike is just a mod.

a mod is a game right? isn't it? it just doesn't matter mod or standalone game because Counterstrike was selled as stand alone game to!

It's all about the budget,

not really the budget of counterstrike was: ZERO ? and the impact in the puplic was epic?

None of those games are AAA games.

lol you really life in another universe german wikipedia about counterstrike:

"Seit der Ver?ffentlichung von Version 1.0 am 8. November 2000 war Counter-Strike ?ber zehn Jahre lang eines der popul?rsten und meistgespielten Online-Actionspiele und das meistgespielte Spiel im E-Sport. "
and translated to english: "Since the release of version 1.0 on 8 November 2000, Counter-Strike for over ten years, one of the most popular and most played online action games and the most played game in e-sports."

LOL.... this prove it you life in another universe.

it was the most popular online game from year 2000-2010

and if the most popular game is not a AAA game then then the earth isn't real at all.

If the target isn't reached, i would hope they would refund all the donations collected. Otherwise, they would be scum of the earth if they kept the money.

Your breath stinks, try a breath mint.

Farmville is more popular. By your logic Farmville is a AAA game.

All this infighting is irrelevant now, as the game has been funded! Congrats to the Linux community for financially supporting such an awesome project. I can't wait to play it!

pong was a AAA game back in 1972 and the wikipedia article prof this.

maybe pong isn't a AAA game today "2012" but its the same with ETQW in a 2012 point of view ETQW isn't a AAA game.

AAA games didn't exist back in 1972. The entire games industry barely existed.

Maybe the definition of what was a big game back then was different, but that doesn't matter. We're all using today's accepted definition, not whatever was happening 100 years ago or in the alternate universe Q's brain comes from.

Practically every Flash based game in existence today would be a AAA game according to your warped perspective. They all get way more than 100,000 users or whatever you are going on about.

I've already pledged, hopefully there's a big bump in the amount of funding in the final hours. I'll be keeping a close eye on it.
