That's a sensible reason. Fair enough.Yes there is, Electronic Arts owns the rights to the Alpha Centauri name, so Firaxis can't use it.

According to IGN it is for PC, Mac and Linuxon which console will come out?
Wow, Linux too? How considerate of them.According to IGN it is for PC, Mac and Linux

By Linux I understand "Steam OS"
From what I understand, Steam OS is basically debian with some tweaks and steam pre-installed. So it'll probably take no effort to get it working on other derivatives (ubuntu and mint, mostly).By Linux I understand "Steam OS"
And thus it wouldn't take all too long for some cleaver guy to come up with the solution to put it almost on anything that contains penguin logos.From what I understand, Steam OS is basically debian with some tweaks and steam pre-installed.

Erm...that's like saying it would take a clever guy to make a windows 95 game working on windows 7.And thus it wouldn't take all too long for some cleaver guy to come up with the solution to put it almost on anything that contains penguin logos.
No, thats making a program for a stone age computer work on a modern day computer (wich gives a lot of trouble if I take what I read on forums serious).Erm...that's like saying it would take a clever guy to make a windows 95 game working on windows 7.
Granted, the linux distributions vary more than the windows'es, but I bet it'll be mostly getting your hardware recognized and having the correct packages for steam.
I may be missing some fine lines, but I get the idea that some think that steamOS will get some exclusive games over other linux'es, and I don't believe that (besides...it'll be pretty tough, considering the open source nature of most components).
Yeah, I guess they need to leave their piss-mark on it and rub it in people's faces...For a tech-savvy user, there probably won't be much of a point to switch to steamOS, especially if you already have a decent PC with steam (either windows or linux). It's a different situation for those steam machines, though. Since the hardware producers obviously have to ship it with an operating system, the question is which one. Sure, valve could cook up a debian fork with some extra driver tweaks and a different default interface...but from there, why not go a tiny bit further and call it your own OS?
One of the reasons I like SPORE so much (besides it being the only one of its kind out there; SPORE is very lacking).I am not sure if moving immediately to a futuristic scale would attract or rather repel players.
But everything seems to be either history or future, but never one that flows to the other.
You also went into space with a warp-drive?I have seen Rise of Nations do that and it was quite good actually

Well thats a start at least.well not that much but it went future-like on earth
I recall a few scenarios over the various games that start with that very scenario -- they played much the same but winning the space race was now not an option.
