I’m considering it. I’d probably want to know if it works well with Linux first.


Coincidentally last month I got the survey for the first time since I switched to Linux a decade ago.


Anything that isn’t Steam works like shit on Linux (mileage may vary, but that’s my experience). I find it hilarious and sad that I can get a better experience by pirating it and launch through Lutris.




Here it is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/169002413/grip-an-intense-futuristic-combat-racer

I vaguely remember hearing something about them wanting to try and make it without the funding but as with many failed kickstarters I just forgot about it. Great to see that it happened, I’m gonna have a good old-fashioned nostalgia trip next weekend.


Wait what!? I remember joining the Kickstarter for GRIP but it didn’t reach its target. I’ve completely forgot about the game since then.


According to Danish law they are risking 6 months of jail time (or 6 years under “particularly aggravating circumstances” but I don’t think that’s relevant), so not just money. The destroyed trophy, even though they weren’t directly aiming for it, a good lawyer might go after them on grounds of vandalism which is up to 1 year and 6 months under normal circumstances (disclaimer: I havent’t seen the video).

So far I don’t think there’s much precedence on it so it is hard to predict the outcome. Usually you wouldn’t get the highest punishment for a first offence, so if it is jail time I’d be surprised if it’s more than a month. But a jail punishment will haunt your criminal record for 5 years while a fine will stay with you for 2 years, which is actually the the worst part if you have anything but a low-level job in Denmark.


The markdown didn’t work well, this link should so it.
