Metro 2033 Redux & Metro Last Light Redux Launch On Linux, Sorta (UPDATED)

Update: Metro 2033 Redux is now downloading.

Original article:

Both Metro 2033 Redux & Metro Last Light Redux now have Linux icons on Steam, but they aren't currently downloadable. Looks like someone either forgot a switch or two.

Someone actually emailed in to ask us to notify people of this horrific scam taking place. Sarcasm aside, it happens a lot, and it's due to how many switches you need to hit on the Steam control panels or something.

Steam itself is saying it's out now:

Considering they are on sale right now too, it's probably legit, but the developers forgot to make the download completely public. We will update you when we have more folks.

Ps. If it was you who said it was a scam, please take this as a joke, really! We like to make light of annoying situations.

About the games
Both FPS games have been revamped, and this time Metro 2033 is available on Linux for the first time thanks to it using a newer engine.

Looks like you need 64bit too, so yet again it's time to upgrade if you haven't. They also require OpenGL 4. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

According to a Valve employee on the 2033 forum the Linux repos should be working now.

I am going to try get something done about this. I cannot accept it.
I have been cheated by these guys.
I do hope game is great. I already own both the older versions and love it.
But this is WRONG.

Confirming it's available for Download in Linux, excellent news for those who were worried. This site is great too, just made my account :)

Remember to purchase / play in linux so we can keep these releases coming.

It seems to have an issue with launching on my primary monitor using the proprietary NVidia driver in Cinnamon; at least on Arch.

Seems to be a solid port. Working good on Ubuntu 14.04, i7 3770k and gtx 670 with proprietary 343.xx

Someone has a solution to change the game's resolution ?
There isn't this option in game ...
