Re: Gaming and Linux I little anti-climatic.
said by »www.jonobacon.org/2012/05/08/ea-···-ubuntu/ :Electronic Arts are delivering two games into Ubuntu, Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances and Lord of Ultima. They are currently available in the Ubuntu Software Center.
While some may focus on the fact that these are loading web apps, the really exciting opportunity here is that EA have identified Ubuntu as an exciting channel to deliver their content. I would like to encourage our community to welcome EA to Ubuntu, and download and enjoy the games.
Let’s not get side-tracked by the fact that these are web games and not native to Ubuntu: EA are dipping their toes in Ubuntu as a channel of opportunity, and let’s welcome them with open arms.

Maybe this is EA’s test to see if Origin is a viable money maker on Linux?
Scary thoughts...
On the other hand more news about Steam and Linux here as well.

lol, Lord of Ultima is a disgrace to the Ultima name. It's just a game like Kingdoms of Camelot and Evony.
I'm not a fan of EA, and try my best not to buy any of their games. sadly they own a whole bunch of companies it's hard to tell.

Given that Jono labeled this as "exciting", he kind of brought it on himself. This more like, slightly interesting. |
