FYEAH - Star Citizen On Linux woot!

I know I've posted some rumoury stuff about CryEngine 3 on Linux but:
Here is a 24 hour livestream past video from twitch on their 1st channel, go to 4:46:51 and enjoy a non-announcement about an announcement they can't make yet that will make Linux and Mac owners "happily surprised" ;P


Watch live video from roberts_space_ind_ch_1 on TwitchTV

Youtube version: (go to 16m48s)

Now this comes over a year since the rumour about a native port of CryEngine 3 on Linux =3
Thanks to the lurkers on the 24hr livestream chat for filling us in! =)


Also, here's some links to Chris Roberts on Linux support for Star Citizen questions on Campaign Reddit's AMA:

This news comes after this poll during the original fundraising (including kickstarter). You'll find that 21% of votes wanted Linux support! (And 8% for Mac).

Also, since I've last posted on Star Citizen on this blog (but have been filling my FB with it =P) CGI's SC is now the most funded crowdfunding project of all time. It surpassed the pebble watch, and make sure you check out the 300i commercial! Fully in-universe an in-engine =)


This 2nd video was released as a director's cut during the 24 hour livestream:
