RE: Amnesia distribution info

In regards to Linux, would you please make the game available as a tarball and hopefully as RPM and DEB packages as well? Perhaps you can host your own repository for all your games, or you can have someone else host them for you such as Canonical for the DEB packages. I don't know how it works, but if you can work out some sort of partnership with a host then that host will do the packaging for you. Advantages would include better publicity on platforms that use those package formats, automatic updates provided via the standard mechanism, and by providing a tarball the community will be able to create packages for less popular package management systems. Since the games require a product key to unlock, there shouldn't be any greater danger of software piracy than what exists already, so I see no disadvantages beyond some extra effort on your part.
