Civilization V Might Be Heading To Linux

[Detructor]

it's the 22nd, game is not there, so -> case closed.

But what really bugs me is, that in those videos where Valve presented the Steam console, you can see Civ 5 a few times...so either they are running Windows on those machines or there is a Civ 5 version out there that runs on Linuxoid systems.

Whatever to the rumor that Batman:arkham City was comingf to Linux? I remember Michael showing of picture of it running on Linux. Also did anything materialize from Blizzard regarding Linux at all yet?

It's good to see more and more publishers starting to support Linux.It is definetly a good thing to do.

It was an error, so. Linux is no more listed on product page.

Someone emailed Amazon: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming...ersion/ccktcup and they said yes. I'm hoping it's true!

I was in agreement that this was a mistake, but I've just noticed the title of the game itself now says "2K Definitive Strategy Collection - Multiple (Windows and Linux): select platform(s)". Maybe this isn't an error?

A good bug report is also half the work...

Have you reported the bug?

With a good report it could be solved tomorrow you know.

Your quite optimistic.

I am sure with a good bug report it could be solved but I am giving this card away in 2 days. So I won't have much opportunity to test any fixes that I get. Even if they did fix it tomorrow.

I am currently using an ATI Radeon HD 5850 and the experience is less than perfect. ... With the open source drivers, bits of my screen disappear sporadically.

Have you reported the bug?

That "source" also says that it's coming out for Windows ME. This is ridiculous, how was this posted as an article?

It is, as another poster described it, "click bait". And we all took it. I am sure the additional advertising revenue will be worth it if someone is dumb enough to paste this to /.

There is plenty of real news to talk about without this kind of over hyped drivel.
