EdenSpark seemed like a pretty exciting announcement for game developers and the open source community, until you read about the AI generation involved.

Announced today by Gaijin Entertainment they say it’s the “first open-source platform that lets independent developers make their games accessible to console users hassle-free and truly own the code of their creations”. A fair amount of the focus seems to be consoles but it will also support Windows too. However, since it’s all going to be open source, I’ve no doubts people will quickly begin hacking away at the code to run it on Linux.
