Neverwinter Nights for Linux

Posted by michael on from the better-late-than-neverwinter dept.

Marshall writes "Today I received an email from Tux Games that I never thought I'd get: confirmation that they were shipping me Neverwinter Nights complete with Linux installer! I didn't believe my eyes, so I checked out bioware's web page, and it was confirmed, the linux client is complete. Also check tuxgames.com which states that they are completing the installer and plan to ship games on Monday, 23 June."

    I guess new games for Linux are always welcome, even if it's not free. Anybody have any idea how well Never Winter Knights holds up to Linux classics like Tux Racer? We Linux geeks tend to be pretty loyal, so a game will have to be damned impressive to compete with the established hits.

    If you need a week to configure a game in winex then you're too braindead to play it anyway.

    And "demo it to non-believers" is one thing I wouldn't do, either.
    I'm sorry, I don't quite understand? Did you mean to write this?

    and as long the games are only developed for windows, there will never be a linux market for them.

    I say there is already one.
