Quoting: GuestCryengine wouldn't have this without Unity3D and UE4 giving them some incentive to do so.

Would ue4 and Unity have done it without Valve/Steam? I have my doubts.

Unity already had Linux support in the works, but it probably would've remained on the back burner if it hadn't been for projects like Wasteland 2.

Quoting: hugin84Don't get your hopes up, even if they wanted to, Crytek couldn't release any games of the Crysis series for Linux because EA hold the rights to the IP.

EA published the Crysis games, but Crytek themselves own the IP.

It was FarCry Crytek sold the IP of (to Ubisoft).

OpenMW's performance is not too terrible, honestly, even here on a low-end Radeon HD 6670. But the switch also fixes more bugs in itself, which is definitely a good thing! Sounds like 0.38 is going to be the first OSG-using version.

Quoting: Blackthorne519I was alerted to this thread by a friend of mine, who's also a voracious Linux user - I try my best to be out there for the people who buy our game, and I'm generally available via email and twitter easily! Being a dev is an honor, so I try my best for people.

Who is me, by the way. I really don't like seeing Desura screw people like this. Even less when it's screwing people I like (like Bt), and less still when it's screwing people buying their games as well!

Quoting: Linux tayshadyThe voices...are hilarious. It reminds me of a Sonic fanart game.

Well yeah, that's what it started off as.

Quoting: abelthorneWhat if you had plans for Deus Ex: Human Revolution? Would you tell us with THE REQUESTINATOR? ;)

THE REQUESTINATOR is no place for tellings. It's the machine we use to gather porting requests. We'll put DXHR for Linux in there for you, and if it gets processed it'll make a special combination of whirring and clickity-clackety sounds.

So this your post/image isn't about games being announced but ports people request then (hence the red herring, I'd guess?). Guess the post here needs updating.

Quoting: SkullyReally does remind me of sonic. I have no interest in the story, but damn that gameplay looks fantastic.

It was originally a Sonic fangame.

In relation to other certain other Activision-related articles recently, I wonder if the guys at Blizzard are watching to see how well Sierra's titles do on Linux.

Quoting: maodzedunBtw, speaking of ports we'd like to see - Bethesda games and especially the Fallouts and Skyrim would be nice. Though knowing Bethesda, we'd probably see Half Life 3 before that happens. Even if Linux had, say, 30% market share, Bethesda, EA and Ubisoft would be like: "Yeah, but...".

You'll probably see Half-Life 4 before a Bethesda game shows up on Linux.

Well, technically one of them has... https://openmw.org/en/ [External Link]

Not quite no strings attached... there is still the 5% royalties (making the grant more a loan, really). Still, for getting games off the ground in the first place the dev grants idea is a good one.
