Well, I would wait how it turns out. If it is garbage like F1 2015 then they shouldn't port it. Would be another fail. But I would be interested F1 2016 still :)
Steam now has over 3,500 games for Linux, with GOG having over 700

BTW: If you count non-offical supported Games, which are running with DOSBox and Wine, then GOG has more then 1800 Games running on Linux.

Quoting: Sir_DiealotAnother perspective on Steam vs GOG:Well, no. GOG has still a bad Linux support. There are many games with native Linux support which are not on GOG. Galaxy is still missing too. It's a shame! On the other hand I'm not really surprised about the bad support as the "Boss" from CDProject doesn't like Linux, which he made clear many times.
GOG has 2100 games, 700 for Linux, that's 1/3 of the games.
Steam has about 15000 games, 3500 for Linux, that's less than 1/4.
By ratio, GOG wins.

Good Game! But this trailer is horrible. If I wouldn't know the "original" Game then I wouldn't buy it.

A Hat in Time would be awesome. Was looking forward to it. Shame if it wouldn't be ported to Linux.
Albion Online hasn’t exactly been the smoothest of launches so far, but I'm hopeful for the future of it

Quoting: michaNo problem! Thanks for your answers so far :DQuoting: Crazy PenguinI guess if I decide to buy 12 Month premium, which I would do right now :D, then I can't split it up month by month between my chars, right?I don't think so but I don't know half the game design - for the most parts only the features I implemented myself. For qualified answers better ask in the forums, sorry! =)
Kingdoms and Castles released with day-1 Linux support, some thoughts

Another EA game which has been released to early. I hope that the developer will still work on this game. IMHO it isn't even half way done yet. You don't even have to build ballistas for the dragon. Enough wells do the trick too, as my subjects are very fast in extinquishing fires :D.
Funny things about the Vikings is that they have been Orks at some point, and if you look closely they still look like Orks. You can build traps to slow the "Orks" down ;P. Walls and Towers will not help much if they "Vikings" have "Ogers" with them. 1-2 hits and the Wall and Tower is gone! Also towers costs Gold, which you have to get by Taxes, which makes your subjects unhappy.
Gates are kinda useless in the game, as you can not close them. Which is kinda stupid whilst an attack!!!. It has an close option, but instead of closing the gate it is deactivating it. Seriously? WTF?
Another thing I have encountered is the distribution of resources. I have tons of stuff in small storages lying around, which is not transported to the big ones in the city. Also it is better to have Blacksmith close to the mine & charcoals, otherwise they have shortage all the times. Any ideas how this works? I have tried several eays but nothing has worked so far.
Some my subjects complain (red building) that they don't get anything to eat or charcoal, but the market over the street has enough stuff available! WTF!?
Not to mention that the status of my subjects happiness has no live update. I have to switch it off & on again to get an update :(. Then there is no information about what and how much stuff is stored in the storages.
This game has an huge potential, fantastic graphics but right now it has lots of shortcomings. Can't recommend it at the moment.

On the other hand one character is a lot of work already and you can buy Premium with Gold or Ingame-Money. Hmmmmm... oh well, seems I have to figure it out :)

Quoting: michaHm, I thought it shows all if the filters on top match but I might be wrong since I didn't implemented the feature. If you're right a search option would definitely make sense.I see three pulldown menues for Language, Number of Members and Experience Level only.
Quoting: michaYes, you do have to get premium for each character you play.Meh! Not happy with that! That is not what I'm used to :D

Also if I get random Guild invites it would be good to the banner and other guild settings like tax.
BTW: Do I really have to buy premium for each character separately?

Quoting: michaGuild UI ( shortcut 'G' ) shows a list of guilds to join (those who opened up the guild to allow join requests). If you are in a guild there are information about your guild instead. If your rank is sufficient there should be a tab in the Guild UI to allow join requests and describe the type of players you are looking for.But it displays only a fraction of available guilds. A search function for the name would great.

Graphics are fine. To the hell with a story. This game is a player driven Sandbox-MMO. Which means YOU can write your own story! IMHO way better then running forward and back again to an exclamation mark bearer. Which is the best news since WoW has messed up the whole MMO genre.

Quoting: GuestI wouldn't really buy this game tbh. It doesn't really look good at all (not just graphics, but gameplay/story wise).I don't care what they have to say ;P
Here is a part where streamers talked about it (I trust their opinion, that's why I want you guys check it out):
