The thing about TF2 is that it has dedicated servers, so regardless of whether or not the majority of the community is awful it's not particularly hard to find a server populated by great people.

The game itself is pretty damn good too.

I saw DF on Mod DB and Desura a while ago. I think they just linked to the website though. I didn't know what the heck Desura was back then.

Since Tarn's only source of income is donations toward the development of Dwarf Fortress, I certainly hope that the Desura program provides a link directly to Bay12games.com/dwarves/

There is a small "Bay12 Games" in the website section, but there is no large "Donate" button.
