Quoting: MintedGamerWho would buy FIFA 15 when FIFA 17 is available? Just like FIFA people buy the year version so they get up to date teams and team colours. With F1 2015 you are playing old cars, old drivers, old scenarios that don't relate to the current season.

I would. Different Season. Different Players. For F1 it would mean different cars, rules, drivers, ... ;P

Quoting: MintedGamerI personally find the whole Formula 1 and F1 games dull as dishwater.

Same could be said about the Shooter-Genre ;P

I never understood, why they have ported F1 2015 anyway. One of the older F1 titles would have been awesome. But no, they must pick the worst part of the whole series. On the other hand F1 2016 has turned out pretty fine. I would love to see a Linux port from that and would sell a lot more then the 5 bucks for F1 2015 :D

Questions are: Will it count for Linux if I buy it from Humble? Will Feral get the money?

@Pit: It seems GOG has fixed the price. I can't see a difference. Both are ~38€.

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: bubexelI will put various examples, netflix or spotify.

You have to have a new account or pay again for use it on a phone? or your smart tv or on your pc, linux or windows or whatever?

So, but that's a bad example. You don't even remotely own anything on either service, you're renting time from them to Stream copyrighted content. Stop paying, you lose access. Netflix and Spotify are platforms themselves, they are a very different thing to what we're talking about here.

No! It is a very good example, because you don't buy games on steam. You only have a subscription to the Steam Service and if this subscription/service is terminated for any reason you lose access to your games! The only difference is that you don't pay a monthly fee for your subscription.

EDIT: If you want to support a porter on Steam but own the game on Windows already then create a 2nd account and buy it again! Simple! BUT DON'T FORCE THAT OPTION ON EVERYONE! As I said this will hurt Linux Gaming badly. For new games which get a Linux Day-1 Release we don't have this problem anyway.

IMHO if you want more older AAA games ported then use platforms like Kickstarter. This way you will not only get your porting costs covered. You also know before you begin the port if there is enough demand for the game. If you get the money then port it if not then don't. Simple! There is no need to mess around with cross-platform in the stores.

Quoting: Nor MantisSorry I don't get it. In my opinion PC is not a platform, the OS is the platform and no different than a Saga Genesis and a Super Nintendo, a VHS or Beta-Max, BlueRay or HDdvd, CD's or records, Netflix or Amazon. That is why it is called cross-platform gaming.

Well, your platforms are using DIFFERENT HARDWARE where not even the used media is compatible. In contrary is the OS to a PC, which is PURE SOFTWARE. I can run different OS on my PC. Which allows me to run Windows Games on Linux also.

Quoting: Nor MantisI agree with Liam on this.

I do not! It is very short sighted. Please don't open this Pandoras Box just for some old Triple-crAp games. I guarantee you that we will see this splitting for newer games too. On one side you will make Linux more attractive for companies, but also less attractive for Gamers. At the moment everyone can try Linux as Gaming platform for free if they have bought the Windows-Version before. How many people do you think will use Linux if you raise an additional pay wall? Keep in mind we still have to grow! We are on a good way. Don't ruin it!

What the hell? There is no way that I'm going to support this! Our Goal should be Day-1 Release for Linux and nothing else! If this becomes common practice I'm back on Windows for Gaming! Such practices are the first nail into the coffin for Linux-Gaming!
