No Mutants Allowed

Brian Fargo tweeted a few clarifications on the Wasteland 1 included in Wasteland 2 deal.

We cannot release it prior to Wasteland 2. It is to be bundled as part of Wasteland 2. I'm still happy to be able to get it in there at all.

I can't give specific details but the terms were very fair. I can tell you that most publishers would not have helped at ALL.

It's too early for me to know all the detailed issues with including the original Wasteland.

Fear not my worriers... The Wasteland 1 inclusion has no conditions related to Origin.

Especially the last bit should come as a relief. I've seen a lot of concern expressed about EA's involvement, especially on other websites, but it is not Origin-related, and EA still does not publish this game or influence its development/design.

In news from last month that we forgot to post about (thanks Candlejack for the reminder), some features of Unity 4 have been announced, including native Linux support. That was already promised for Wasteland 2, but it's good to see it confirmed.

In regards to a free copy of Wasteland, I don't know what the big deal is, the game has been freely available for years. http://www.abandonia.com/games/436/Wasteland . It would be interesting if you can only play the game inside Wasteland 2, e.g - an old forgotten computer in the back room of a school, etc.

After Wasteland 2 is available, i suspect most reputable abandonware sites will remove it, as it won't qualify as abandonware anymore.

I hope they don't kill any real amount of dev time on it. I'd rather see their efforts going in to W2.

I don't think including an installer file in the disc or along with the digital download for an old game that already exists would take too much dev time...
