I was shared an email yesterday from a conversation with the developers of futuristic racer 'Redout' [Steam, Official Site]. The developers are willing to do a Linux version, if there's enough interest.

It looks damn near incredible and certainly did remind me of WipeOut, a game I wasted hours and probably entire days of my life in when I was younger.

From the email:
QuoteThanks for asking. Not for now, as we are focusing on new content and consoles porting!

But again, if the interest is there, we’ll definitely do it next year.

So far, honestly, the interest has been pretty limited :(

They aren't wrong though, so far not many people have asked about it.

If you would honestly buy it then you can show your support for it by saying so in this Steam post. Please don't just post "+1" as that's not helpful and considered spam. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Looks very good. What about GOG release? Couldn't find it there.

There are a number of reasons why Linux request would be limited, first and foremost they have to consider that Linux gamers account for about 2-3% across all stores combined and not all of them will come and tell you to do a Linux version.

As for GOG release - The devs mentioned something about a DRM-Free release, no doubt there will be a Linux request when that happens. Hopefully will convince them that a Linux version is worth doing.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionLinux very much needs it's own "F-Zero".

You mean "Wipeout"?

Quoting: GuestInstabuy if they release a Linux version and only if the game is not capped, i want to play that at 144fps.
It better have a high framerate. Hopefully they are smart enough to wait and use Vulkan due to the fact it's a VR title. I am sure it's fun without VR, but a stripped down game without VR for Linux isn't worth the money in my opinion. Even if you're not buying it for the feature, you're kind of paying for that feature. I for one would buy it for this feature as I own a Vive.

I'll buy it for sure if it comes to Linux, and the Devs are also Italian Like me.

Yeah I bet, I have my steam store filtered to show linux only games.
I've never even seen this game show up, how am I supposed to show my interest ? ;)

they're thinking the wrong way around.

... yes it is! Still I don't get why they do ask. People write + 1, but in the end they will have 1-3 % Linux Sales. They could calculate by themselves to find out if it's worth to them.
