Steam for Linux love

I just wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and its availability on Steam for Linux.

The game is very beautiful and immersive. I was amazed at how nothing technical takes away from the experience. Usually, a lot of time is spent in the options menus in games. But with Amnesia, there was very little of this. Even the time I did spend in the menus still felt 'a part of the game'. Really appreciate this.

With a good deal of third party games having issues of some sort (some not even starting), I'm amazed that I've encountered not one single issue running Amnesia. Especially being on Linux.

I was so impressed with this game that I bought the entire Penumbra Collector Pack! I would definitely purchase more games from Frictional in the future.

Please accept my thanks, and I encourage you to continue to support Steam for Linux with any existing and future releases.

Thank you!

Well, thank Urkle for porting Amnesia to Linux (well actually, Urkle ports Amnesia to Mac OSX and Linux. jens called him, "Port Guru." Smile), and Steam for supporting it.

By the way, the game was on the main page of steam during the Steam-Linux celebration. Seeing more and more new people here (including myself) lately, I assume there are still new players every day Smile

Amnesia still is on the main Steam store page for Linux users.
Btw. I also want to thanks for Linux support. Especially to Urkle. Really great optimization, stability etc.. After 1.5 year of playing, I never had had any issues with the game itself (only LevelEditor).

RE: Steam for Linux love

Who's Urkle? Is he a part of fg or does he just port games?

Urkle is an FG-Associate that ports Amnesia (maybe Penumbra too, i dunno.) to Mac OS X and Linux.

Urkle must be with Out of Order Games; the group responsible for the Linux and Mac ports of Amnesia.
Thank you, Urkle, and Out of Order, for your great work!
