No one really needs extra advertisement, but everyone sure could use it. |

honestly if ps2 runs on ubuntu i will never load up windows again. although i just loaded ubuntu 12 and my sound is f'd lol. i need to figure that out still but honestly the os front end looks much nicer than even 10.10 which i upgraded from recently. blows win8 away from what i've seen. hopefully i get my sound resolved though in ubuntu 12 this week, i've been lazy this last weekend and didn't get around to it. probably fool with it after i clean my saiga :P i went shooting this weekend and been slacking. my ubuntu 10.10 system wasn't too shabby but since i loaded win8 in dual boot figured i'd check out ubuntu 12 as well.

If the game is played through Steam, wouldn't SOE have to give Valve a kickback for all in-game purchases (cosmetic items, etc) a la the Apple App Store? I believe that was EA's driver for moving away from Steam to the awful Origin, so they wouldn't have to give Valve a cut of Battlefield 3 sales $$.
As for Linux, I once heard "Linux is free, but only if your time has no value." Having worked with Ubuntu, Backtrack and Fedora I tend to agree. It certainly has its uses, but is not generally intuitive and requires a lot of "how do I do X in Linux" Google searches, in my opinion.

I don't think Valve would be able to get their royalty rate from ingame items. Obivously they are getting some kind of income from the F2P games they distribute, so I might be wrong about Valve not getting a cut or it might just be a fee for allowing distribution. |

i must say, after testing linux i must change my mind, its awesome
now that steam is also coming to linux, a linux client might not be a bad idea. there are numerous f2p games on steam, from other developers than valve |

SOE would have to pay Valve some really fat royalties in order to get their game on Steam. Tribes: Ascend needed Steam mostly because it was in the gutter and their user base was running thin. At the same time, Hi-Rez can afford to use Steam because they worked out a deal where Hi-Rez paid Valve a direct flat-cut rate and did all of the work integrating the game into Steam.
Other companies host on Steam because it's their only hope at getting players. I hope PS2 doesn't have a problem with that, plus Valve sometimes takes up to 12% of all Steam-related revenue, depending on the agreement. Last edited by AThreatToYou; 2012-06-30 at 04:41 AM. |
