RYZOM TIMELINE SOFTWARE
Then, in 2001, Loki Software filed for bankruptcy and promptly closed its doors. For a brief moment, one of the last major hurdles for real Linux adoption had been solved-gaming. Shortly thereafter, Loki published another 18 ports of blockbuster titles for Linux. It was in that year that Loki Software released their first port of a major commercial game (Civilization: Call to Power) to Linux. This is why I have trouble sleeping, we're on the verge of something big here-much bigger than just the gaming industry.
We no longer want to dual-boot, we no longer want to emulate. Let's show them that there is a Linux base that is begging for triple-A titles. They are taking a risk here, and are attempting to put to rest the last vestiges of FUD from the closed source camps. Support these companies, donate cash or code or simply promote. We cannot let the same thing that happened in 2001 happen in 2010. We're about to tackle one of the last barriers in truly making Linux, and subsequently other free operating systems, a real option in everyone's homes for everything they do on their personal computer. I have spent a decade pining for better support for the operating system I love, and the movement behind this operating system. This is literally months after Loki Software shut their doors.
I started getting into open source in the Fall of 2001, installing my first Linux Distribution my first semester of college.
