14 DAY TRIAL // Age of Wonders III, a turn-based strategy developed by Triumph Studios and published only on the Windows platform, has managed to get the Linux community all riled up, no matter the platform.
Age of Wonders III has been released only for Windows, but the Linux community is putting pressure on the developer to bring the game on the Linux platform. A huge topic has appeared on the Steam forum for the game and hundreds of people have expressed their desire to see this game on Linux.
The interest for this title is so big that Linux fans have started another topic on the GOG.com forums. Keep in mind that GOG.com is not offering Linux games yet, they have just promised to do so in the fall. The two forum topics, from Steam and GOG.com, are cross-linked, which means that the Age of Wonders III developer can get a clear picture of the Linux fan base.
There is also some good news, not just the pressure from the Linux community. One of the developers from the Triumph Studios has also expressed his support for the Linux version and left a cryptic message: “Hi Linux-storma. Might be a bit of a wait, but it'll be back on our ‘things to do’ lists.”
No official word about a Linux port has been heard from the studio, but most likely Age of Wonders III will get a Linux release.
