Feral Interactive Are Teasing Us Again With A New Port
17 Feb 2015 at 11:48 am UTC

Quoting: neowiz73haven't played skyrim in awhile, after a couple hundred hours played I feel i've done everything. Although if I can play it on Linux that would be cool. Might have to buy some expansions for it then. Although the idea of something new and different would be really nice.
Skyrim? On Linux? Are those pigs I see flying overhead?

More likely to be Evolve or Darksiders 1 and/or 2.

Maybe you should bring that up with the OpenMW team as well - plenty of discussion regarding donations and the like there.

CaesarIA Now On Steam, A Re-make Of Caesar III, But It Might Not Be Legal
22 Jan 2015 at 10:18 am UTC

Quoting: abelthorne
Do you think thats enough? Also, they aren't charging for it; and I have purchased Caeser 3 on GoG and have played it in Wine; so I should be in the clear legality-wise if thier disclaimer is all that is necessary.
In the cas of CaesarIA, it's not a big deal as the game is free to play but expect it to disappear from Steam when this disclaimer will be seen by the rightholders of the original game (if they still exist and care).
That's (now) Activision (formerly Sierra), so yes they do.

Aspyr Media Have A New Port Due Soon & Might Bring Their Games To GOG

It's a game that already has to be on GOG. Aspyr are (sub-)contractors and have no authority to publish by themselves.

Depending on who's games they are of course. After all, all Aspyr does is port them as a sub-contractor - if the games aren't already on sale on GOG.com then it's unlikely Aspyr would be able to sell them.

And as for the HD remaster of HoMM III - aside from it being way off-field, isn't it using UPlay?

Pillars Of Eternity, The RPG Aims For A Same-day Linux Release On March 26th

Considering that they've never got round to releasing a beta build for Linux (and this strongly implies that, despite what they've said over the last few days, the last beta build won't have Linux binaries either), well pardon me for not having any confidence in that statement.

Not supporting another Obsidian Kickstarter again. Almost as shitty treatment for Linux players as by Larian and Divinity: Original Sin. Very disappointing.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare To Begin Linux Port Testing
15 Jan 2015 at 2:03 pm UTC

Quoting: PicoboomThe launch of this game on Linux is a much needed break in what seems to have become an endless stream of broken Kickstarter promises, never-ending "soon-to-be-released" assurances, and deathly silent developers. It reduces my cynicism about Linux gaming. It makes me less jaded.

It's almost ridiculous how much I needed a game like this to be released, but I needed it.
Pillars of Eternity for one. Definitely not supporting an Obisidian Kickstarter ever again.

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Confirmed For Linux

Interesting. Never thought I'd see Activision supporting Linux games, directly or otherwise. Better than EA, Ubisoft or Zenimax at least!

Aspyr Media Plans More Linux Games In The Next 6 Months UPDATED

Quoting: OZSeafordIf only Bethesda could work with Aspyr.
About as likely as Bethesda working with GOG...

Is that a snowball in hell?

Aspyr Media Plans More Linux Games In The Next 6 Months UPDATED

Quoting: edothey are working on 3 games and 4 dlc, Bioshock infinite has 4 dlc, so its probably they are porting this game.
If so, that still leaves two games that are not Bioshock or Civ:BE.
