Linux Users Sign a Petition Requesting Only Native Games in Humble Bundles
Uglavnom, skupina Linuxaša se našla uvrijeđena što je Limbo (igra u najnovijem Humble Bundleu) Windowsow binary upakiran u Wine. Oni su prefini da bi se prljali ne nativnim Linux igrama i pišu peticiju da se zabrani u sljedećim Bundleovima ovakve upakirane igre. Jer, ako neovisni proizvođači nemaju novaca za poseban razvoj Linux igre, već upakiraju taj ogavni Windows kod koji BTW savršeno i bez ijednog štucanja radi na mom kompu, nemaju što tražiti u Bundleovima.
Da li smo stvarno elitistička smeća koja ne žele imati ništa s ljudima koji se trude olakšati nam igranje na omiljenom OS-u, već zahtjevamo da se nama (1% najboljih) piše posebno nativno izdanje?! Baš nas briga koliko ljudi radi u tom Indie studiju i koliko novaca imaju.
Najgore od svega, tu peticiju je potpisalo ohoho Linuxaša i time efektivno poslalo poruku Indie developerima da se mogu j...ti ako igra nije napisana u čisto djevičanskom Linux izdanju. Lijepa slika je bačena na nas Linuxaše. Taman kad smo počeli dobivati malo pozornosti od proizvođača igara javlja se ovakva struja.
Uglavnom, što mislite o ovoj peticiji?
Da li stvarno ne želimo kaljati svoje računalo takvim himerama? I da li je bilo u redu na taj način odreagirati na sasvim pristojno napravljenu igru?

The Petition:
Linux users have been supporting the Humble Indie Bundle from the beginning and a relation of mutual trust has grown between the people behind the Bundle and the Linux community. Unfortunately, I feel this trust has been violated by the inclusion of a non-native Linux game in the latest Bundle.
This is not merely a complaint about one game included in one Bundle, in this case Limbo. It sets a horrible precedent for the future, encouraging developers to merely put out unoptimized Windows binaries of their games running through a WINE or similar layer merely to con Linux users out of their money. We can not allow this to happen, not to the Humble Indie Bundle.
With all of this said, we do not want to boycott the Bundle as many of the developers involved are still very much deserving of our money, as are many of the charities, and even the Bundle guys themselves are still making an effort. But we can not let this go without at least getting our point across.
So we implore:
1. Linux users to sign this petition. Guarantee that the integrity of the Bundle remains and that you get a fair deal for your money.
2. Mac users to sign this petition. The threat of non-native binaries applies to you just as much as to Linux users.
3. Windows users to sign this petition. Ports often lead to optimizations and fixes, making your gaming experience better.
4. Other developers to sign this petition. After all of the effort some of you have put into your native porting, it is just as much a slap in the face to you.
Also remember that you have a choice as to how your money is distributed - if you feel you have not gotten a fair deal from Limbo, please make sure your money is divided as you feel is right.
This is not meant as an outright attack or a smear on the Bundle itself. It is a merely a reflection of our desire to see the high standards that the Bundles have previously adhered to continue. We are doing this because we care. Please accept this in the manner in which it is given.
