Another Linux Wine wrapper, another giveaway :p

This time for Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut. This game has been a bit of a hassle to set up in Wine, but not any more with my scripts :) As well as this game I'm also including some games with official Linux support in this giveaway, to support official Linux releases.

As usual I'd also like to encourage anyone even a little bit interested in Linux to take a look at the beginner's guide I wrote & perhaps give Linux a try: The "Try Linux" Repost/Rewrite (a "beginner's guide")

Anyway, the prizes are:

> Deadly Premonition Director's Cut
> Bastion
> Door Kickers

To enter, simply post here listing what you're entering for in order of preference. Using Linux is not a requirement for entering the giveaway.

The giveaway will run until Thursday 13th April at 20:00 UTC. Due to problems with downrepping in previous giveaways, the winners will *not* be publicly revealed unless they decide to do so themselves.

Rules:
- No rep requirement but I reserve the right to disqualify entries at my discretion.
- Winners will be selected randomly after the giveaway ends
- Each winner will receive one prize - whichever of the remaining prizes is their most preferred.
- Please only enter for games that you don't already have.
- Please only enter for games that your system can run.
- Please only enter for games that you're interested in, intend to play & won't just let rot in a backlog.
- Keys are for your own use only/not to be traded (except for leftovers/duplicates from multi-game keys which may be re-gifted but not traded)
- Anything not redeemed within one week after being awarded may be given to another entrant or reused for a future giveaway.

Bump
I'm not in, because I'm not a linux guy and own those games already.

But +1 for your generosity.

Thank you for your continued Linux support (Yay for Linux!) and for this giveaway!

In for Deadly Premonition

(if no one else want's it, I would also like to have Bastion on GOG some time, but I already own it on Humble so it would only by backup/GOG collection completion. So it doesn't fulfill the entry requirement and it's better if the game goes to someone who hasn't played it yet)


Something completely different: what do you think of Canonical's decision to abandon Unity and go back to Gnome with 18.04? I personally think that's a good decision (well, I never liked Unity so I may be biased) and I hope that they will not only use Gnome but also contribute to it.
I would also like to enter, by order of preference, for Deadly Premonition Director's Cut and Bastion.

I do use ubuntu, although much less regularly than Windows. It is a shame really, since the potential is huge if only much more people had used it.
Thanks again, adamhm, for your generosity and efforts to make world a better place (: and to promote our beloved Linux!

Count me in for:
Door Kickers
Thanks for the giveaway.

Since I've wishlisted it anyway, I'm in for "Deadly Premonition".

I think it's a good decision too, I never liked Unity either & it's a big reason for why I chose Mint instead of Ubuntu.
A very generous giveaway. I'm in for Door Kickers. +1
Using Ubuntu and CentOS 7 for work. I like Unity a lot more than GNOME 3.

Cheers for the GA! Not in.
First things first: huge thanks for this very cool giveaway. +1

Since I'm a huge David Lynch fan I would like to enter for Deadly Premonition DC. I never played this game before but reading about it a little it seems to have a nice Lynch style vibe and so my interest is definitely present.
Another great giveaway, Thank you Adamhm!

Not in.
Thanks for the GA :)

I'm in for Bastion and Deadly Premonition Director's Cut :)

AndreeaB: what is Gnome?
Gnome is one of the more common desktop environments for Linux. Under Linux there are many possibilities for different user interfaces and most distributions have one default desktop environment. Originally Ubuntu forked from Debian and retained Gnome for a while. Then Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, developed their own desktop environment, Unity. Now they scrap that and go back to Gnome and I think that's a good decision. However, which desktop environment one prefers is mostly a question of taste, habit and purpose. So there are others who preferred Unity.
