Why am I not surprised? The developers of Project Cars 2 said the game would be coming out for SteamOS, but they are being silent on it. The same happened with the original.

They have now released a trailer of Project Cars 2:

Notice at the end, that they only list console and Windows icons. Their website does list SteamOS very clearly as a release platform.

I asked on Twitter and also emailed the developers directly a few days ago a question of what's going on. I know they got my email as I got their "we got your email" auto response, but I've had no reply after giving them more than enough time to respond.

This really grinds my gears up, since when I spoke to them on Twitter about the original they said they had no plans, despite me linking to them where they said they did.

I'm starting to think they never meant to say SteamOS and it was some sort of copy and paste fail from the original game page.

Thankfully, we do have DiRT Rally to look forward to from Feral Interactive. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTNowadays we just don't need ignorant publishers anymore? So: Come one, FUCK YOU Blizzard, FUCK YOU EA, FUCK YOU Bethesda.... The list could go one forever.

Calm down boy. Just games. By the way: Bethesda's Doom runs better under Wine than any port. I think that means a lot for Vulkan. With this technology one gets ports as cheaply as never and Feral becomes unemployed. ;)

I love everyone who develops computer games or does something for it.

Quoting: elbuglioneI don't understand why continuous mention of this game on Gameonlinux
We cover everything possible that claims it will support Linux.

In this case it's also very important to highlight developers who claim they will support Linux and do not deliver on that. Otherwise, it's letting them get away with it.

Edit: And I'm not sure what you mean by "continuous", this is only the second time anyone here has covered PC2.

I checked the website, but did not find mention of SteamOS, just steam. The actual website that is.

It's mentioned in the list at the bottom of the"Game vision" column on the WMD page linked in the article. I'm assuming they mistakenly copied it from the previous site and have no intention of delivering.

I know, that what prompted me to check their actual website, was wanting to call them out on it.

Quoting: rudzhaGuess it means Grand Turismo 4 is still the best sim-like racing game that you can run on Linux.

Honestly, I think nothing touches the Gran Turismo series. I have a PS3 and PS4 just for games like that. And the Uncharted and Battlefield series. Ugh. My dependency on consoles is never going to end.. :(

It's correct to pay for a product that you don't have any kind of guarrantee or support? why you should pay to play a game that maybe crash time to time and maybe won't load second level or get stuck in any place? I won't pay for any windows game to be used on wine.

That guy wrote he would pirate the game if it came to Linux, so no Windows or WINE involved.

Quoting: miroPC2 looks good, yes, and I believe it will be a pretty much good game. now I still doubt I would buy it and I am really not the shitstorm-like-guy I probably should be, but I think in case it really does come to linux, PC2 would be the first game on steamOS I would `pirate` by downloading it from whatever source and using a noCD-crack or whatever. Just for fun, to show my lack of support for these ...guys.
Please leave piracy at the door before commenting here, we do not support it. This is an idiotic view to take "it doesn't support Linux, so I will pirate it". That doesn't show your lack of support for them, it shows you up as a pirate. Not cool.

Quoting: GuestI am much more inclined to buy games from developers who say 'no Linux version planned, sorry' due to it being financially unviable or something, rather than those who make empty promises. Still, as shakey as it may be, I hope it comes to Linux.
Oddly, I'm not. Well, not for any practical purposes--I suppose there's a distinction between "Won't buy" and "Really won't buy no way in Hell ever". But there are 3000 games on Steam for Linux now and my library is about 30 or so. I literally own only 1% of the games available for Linux on Steam alone. Even assuming at least 90% of the games are either crap or not in my gaming sweet spot, it would take me a decade just to buy the games I might want that are already out for Linux, and they're coming out faster and faster. I really don't have time or money to be buying games that aren't on Linux even if no promises were broken.

I almost wish it were different so I could punish the promise-breakers more than people who just never planned a Linux version, but there you go.
