Euro Fishing immerses you deep into the adrenaline-packed action, fun and beauty of Europe’s most famous lakes. Sounds okay, and the graphics look quite nice too.

On their forum they stated simply this:
QuoteHello everyone,

we're happy to announce that we're working on a Mac & Linux version of the game that will be released in the next few weeks.

More news soon.

About the game
Euro Fishing immerses you deep into the adrenaline-packed action, fun and beauty of Europe’s most famous lakes. Master your rod, line and tactics, and refine your technique to become a top angler. This is the closest you can get to real fishing from the comfort of your own sofa. Welcome to the Great Indoors!

Whether you’re a fishing beginner or angling pro, Euro Fishing accurately and authentically replicates the feeling of actual fishing using our unique physics-based casting and reeling system, ‘Total Cast Control’.

Start by learning the basics of casting with in-game tutorials, or dive straight into one of the five unique European locations included, such as Digger Lakes and the famous St John’s Lake at Linear Fisheries, each posing their own unique challenge to land the big catch.

God I love these simulator games. They are so pointless and amazing at the same time.

Quoting: StianTheDarkDoes it make me a bad vegan to want to play a fishing game? Probably.
No. But what about all the games where you kill people? Catching fish gives you pause but murder and mayhem does not? ;)

Same for me. Killing humans in games I am perfectly fine with, animals not-so-much.

Quoting: Stupendous Man'Adranaline-packed action' and fishing are two words I never thought I'd read together ;-)
Then again, who knows, maybe it's about zombie-fish and fishing with dynamite!
Have you ever fished in real life? I have & when a fish takes the bait & starts to run with the line, you start to reel it in & it's struggling to get away, that fight to get it in your catch net really gets the adrenaline going.

The point of fishing is the fight between Man & Fish, catch & release, not catch & kill, the fish lives to fight another day.

Yeah, a noble fight indeed. Just like swinging a fly swatter is a "fight between Man & Mosquito".

I find catch & release cruel and pointless, but I'm fine with catching fish for food. The same "catch & release" policy applied to hunting (with tranquilizer darts or something) would be considered animal abuse in most civilized countries. But I guess fish aren't cuddly enough. :)

Virtual fishing can be fun though. Don't like hunting games personally.

I totally see this kind of games taking a new turn with SteamVR, and the HTC Vive, with the steam dual controllers. Even support for the Steam controller built-in accelerometer would be cool :)
