In addition to the e-commerce solution, TuxGames will also provide Game 23 with shipping and end-user supportservices.In return, Game 23 will immediately begin to sell Linux products in their physical and online stores on behalf of Tux Games, giving England its first physical retail outlets for Linux games since 2001.

So, TuxGames actually gets royalties from the sales of windows and xbox games ? That’s just… beautiful.

Also NWN and its expansions are not listed as Linux compatible on there site. Kinda cool though.

Argh! Did the resulting website have to be quite that… glaring and unprofessional?
I can live with the colors, but half the images look like they were resized from something bigger without using any interpolation whatsoever–they’re all blocky. Also, the logo could use a bit of antialiasing…
However, this is [i]very[/i] good news!
