Batman: Arkham Knight for Linux & SteamOS cancelled

By - | Views: 37,670
Considering how terrible the Windows PC release of Batman: Arkham Knight was/is I’m not really surprised. Hopefully we will get some of the other better ones.

This is what a developer posted on Steam:
QuoteWe are very sorry to confirm that Batman: Arkham Knight will no longer be coming to Mac and Linux. If you have pre-ordered Batman: Arkham Knight for Mac or Linux, please apply for a refund via Steam.

Source

While I’m not surprised by the news, I am still saddened by it. The Windows PC release was truly terrible as has been detailed quite widely, and they still haven't managed to fully patch it up.

I guess we have to bug the publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment about it since publishers are usually the ones who have the actual say in what happens.

Sad news, but XCOM 2 on Friday, Dying Light Enhanced Edition & The Following DLC and Firewatch next week. All those games coming to Linux in the space of a week! Remember to check our Release Calendar to keep up with it all.

Try not to be too sad about it my little cherubs. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I activated the key as soon as I got it :( (on June, I thought the GNU/Linux port would come right after the Windows release :/ ... so silly)

"When you see a PC port from Warner Brothers. WARN A BROTHER!!" :)

Quoting: GuestIt's a terrible company really (also remember the Shadow of Mordor - Youtube thing?)
What Youtube thing?

Quoting: BeamboomI can live with that - never was a Batman fan.

Now, let's just hope the same doesn't happen with the promised Witcher 3...

It shouldn't. CDPR aren't WB.
