Metro Exodus to get a release date for Linux "soon" say 4A Games

Quoting: kuhpunktIf you don't buy it, the publisher will see it and think that Linux ports aren't worth doing, because they don't sell.

If you buy it, the publisher will see that it sells on Steam and that this is where the money is. It's one unit sold less on the Epic Store.

Think about the signals you're sending.
You could also say: If you buy it, the publisher will see that the exclusivity deal did pay, and that the rest stills buys it a year later on Steam.

It's not my standpoint, but it's not invalid either.

Quoting: celphyI personally don't want it to pay off so I'd rather not buy those games.
If we had loads of big games to choose from...
I prefer to support the few that support us.
Of course, it's everybody's own choice.

BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION looks incredible and planned for Linux once they ensure it's solid

Quoting: scaineI've only done that once, for Dirt Rally, and luckily it was via Feral's store, so I think I'm okay on that front! Infuriating though.
Feral's store is perfect. I even bought a game there for a friend only running Windows.

Quoting: GuestThere's a reason I never visit "that other site": its history of dubious accuracy.
There is an other site?

@Feral, if you're reading this: You're what keeps me playing only on Linux. Thanks.

@all: Cookies to Feral!?!

Quoting: MohandevirSeriously, I'm not terribly shaken/surprised by the news. I really do like what Feral did for Linux gaming and I'm a big fan of the company, but lately they had lots of problems finding new ips to port.
I had the opposite impression when looking at their mobile / Switch news. My fear was they might abaondon Linux and maybe even Mac for their new fields of action.

I'd say... if they don't object today, it's tr... I believe there's something to it.
