Quoting: maodzedunI don't get fishing/hunting games. I really don't.
It's the same thing as with those flight simulators where you fly, in realtime, for hours to do a regular, simulated landing at recreations of real airports. If you are into flying that can be a really cool thing to do. It's just not for the masses.

Or that truck simulator we got on Linux as well. It's about simulating a real-life activities that, for the right persons, are fascinating.

No sir I am not kidding.

How can they port something they don't have the source to? Or enhance it, other than replacing some textures?

No way this will fix the game up to a playable level. This game got a metascore of around 30 and according to a buddy who fell for it and purchased it without reading reviews, those 30 points are generous.
