Woah! Holy Sh...Deus Ex: Mankind Divided looks like it may be getting a Linux & SteamOS release which has literally blown my tiny little mind.

There's a rather large bit of info here on SteamDB, where you can see stuff like this:
Quotelaunch/9/config/oslist: linux
launch/9/executable: DeusExMD.sh
launch/9/type: none

And this:
Quote337001/encryptedmanifests/domesticated_mac_linux_sync/encrypted_gid_2: 973A3491BA8BBFE16CAF17F204300E1B


Obviously no word on a release date and this is not confirmed anywhere. It's good supporting evidence though.

Reminder: We have seen Linux pop up on SteamDB before and a port never happened. Just something to keep in mind.

Exciting either way though, as the game is being very well reviewed all around from what I can see. I actually played and finished the one directly before this and loved it. You can bet I will play the crap out of it if/when it's released for us.

About the game
The year is 2029, and mechanically augmented humans have now been deemed outcasts, living a life of complete and total segregation from the rest of society.

Now an experienced covert operative, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.

Quoting: BeamboomOh man I hope they haven't broken an otherwise great game with microtransactions... If so I will never forgive Square Enix!

Yes and no. The microtransactions apparently don't apply to the main game but just a weird "assault" mode that apparently is just kind of crappy in general (so, yes microtransactions but most people probably won't notice or care). However if you got the pre-order DLC all of the consumables (praxis kits, ammo, health, etc) are one time use only. You keep the preorder weapons across saves/new games but only your first playthrough in which you redeemed the DLC gets the consumables. And that's just terrible. Both silly and terrible.

Because, come on, there will definitely be hacks and trainers and such for this game at some point. What's the benefit to Square Enix? Someone isn't going to buy the DLC again.

Thanks a lot for that clarification!

Quoting: TemplateRBefore Square Enix is thinking about a SteamOS-/Linux-Version of "DeusEx Mankind Dvided" , they should port the predecessor "Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut" first.

I think they should release this one first, officially, because it already runs, albeit badly:

"Deus Ex The Fall", uses Unity 4.3.4f1, needs LD_LIBRARY_PATH for libsteam.api.so; Wwise sound engine wrong version, playable

Quoting: thelimeydragonWell doesn't look like history will repeat itself.

'Deus Ex' was the game Loki Software was in the middle of porting to Linux before they went bankrupt back in 2001.

So.. My favorite game in the world could have been on Linux. Why is this world so unfair? :(

I want to play this game on Linux omg instant buy if they release it

The world is no longer being unfair. In fact, fairness is what's driving the gaming platform on Linux today.

We just need more people to realize that Windows alone isn't the answer. To be fair to Microsoft as well, multi-platform is the way to go.

The fact that the usage is rising when more games are coming onboard shows that it's as viable a platform as any.

Any most MS users today.. they'll say, oh if it can play this game, i'd love to switch. And that's becoming a reality.

And for development. Hands down. Python will just be there and all the environment variables set. Windows, i have to do all that shit myself.

Let's clarify something - How do you run Deus Ex: HR on Linux?

EDIT: Ok, I guess you were talking about Deus Ex: The Fall. I had no idea such a game exists.

I'm a big fan of Deux Ex, nice.
Instant buy if its rly coming to Linux :)

Well... nice fairytale :) But since this game is more demanding than Batman Arkham Knight (fixed long time ago), realistically i don´t see posibility for this game to come to Linux. You must have quite powerful GPU. Even GTX 970 is barely usable on Windows and Linux port will degrade performance 40-50% so you will need GTX 1080 to play this on "High" preset at 1080p @ 40-50 FPS on Linux. So how many Linux gamers have latest, high-end rig? This port would make no sence financially, but the same applies for Mac port with their laughable laptop-grade GPU´s and yet, they still have better games. So if they want to do it, they will need to degrade graphics greatly. Feral and Aspyr should port their older games to Linux. Older Deus EX HR-DC, Batman games, Bioshock 1+2 or Rage.. and then they can reconsider Arkam Knight and maybe Mankind Divided, when it is fixed and complete edition out, sometimes next year..

I agree 100000000000%

But maybe this is an inhouse port made by Eidos itself and not by a third company...
