August 30: Reinforced - Natural Selection 2
On August 30, Natural Selection 2 will receive its biggest makeover since launch. First, NS2 became Gorgeous. Now it will be Reinforced. Checkout this teaser to see the new logo. Keep an eye and ear out for tiny hints at some of the new content: Features revealed for Reinforced include the female marine, Biodome, and Linux support. Lots of other hinted but secret stuff is also going in. We can’t wait to take the wrappers off, and there aren’t many days left. Reinforced is a big deal and like Gorgeous, it will be totally free to anyone that owns Natural Selection 2. You might have noticed a trend in updates to NS2: They are all free. This begs the …

Everyone on the same servers:)
The big win here on the linux side is on servers for the existing community. Windows hosting a is a generally a bit more expensive when compared to linux.

Steam/valve are trying to push linux adoption due to concerns about the increasingly walled garden nature of windows, I'm looking at you windows8.
There are many ways for game developers to make money these days. Some of them are ruthless.
Unknown Worlds operates with principle. We will not do anything that is against the spirit of the game, hurtful to you, underhanded, or sneaky. We are gamers too, and none of us would continue working here if certain monetisation methods were forced on the NS2 community. But without money, there can be no Biodomes or Linux ports. On August 30, you will find out how Natural Selection 2 development can be further funded - And it will be up to all of you to decide if it is worthy.
And customizable skins for Armour and alien textures for a price.
Cheers
I run a GeForce 470, and you can run with everything on except Ambient Occlusion and get~60fps if you have a half-decent CPU.
I have a 560Ti and it runs fine without everything on so a 470 should handle it too, they are both close in performance

But I wonder if on linux the performances are the same, but anyway it should run decently.
I've been throwing my wallet at the screen since I saw them on the store, it doesn't work
