Of all the so-called "heartless" videogame developer/publishers
in this cruel world,
Running With Scissors has reached deep into
their hairy chest and clutched their cold, cold heart to take pity on the bastard
stepchildren of the gaming world by teaming up with
Linux Game Publishing to
offer
POSTAL 2: Share The Pain, the
MULTIPLAYER Edition, to the
Linux community.
POSTAL 2: Share The Pain will be released for Linux through the Linux
Game Publishing retail channel in May 2004.
"My development guys wanted to finish animating Quentin Tarantino's sequel to
The
Passion first," said former alter boy and
RWS CEO Vince Desi, "but
when I told `em this project was for the Linux community, they left Uma up there
swingin' in the breeze and grabbed hammer and nails and got right to work."
Founded in 2001, Linux Game Publishing was formed to help companies bring their
games to market, and is partnering with a number of other companies to bring
Linux both ports of games from other platform and original titles.
"Folks may kid about the Linux community, but we're deadly serious about this
version of our game," Desi said. "Linux users are intolerant of inferior product
and necessarily lowered expectations, so when they play a videogame, then it
damn well better be an amusing one – and
POSTAL 2: Share The Pain is just
such a game. No comical subreference (visual or otherwise) will ever be lost
on a Linux user, so that makes this release all the more rewarding."
POSTAL 2: Share The Pain is available for PC worldwide now.
