Quoting: razing32Yet every time a port is announced i see people groan how they hate them and won't buy them.

Has there been any hate?

Quoting: razing32If something is easy to port and popular and by consequence profitable why are you so surprised they are doing it ?

Many people like Total War games, many people would prefer something different.
No surprise, I guess?

Quoting: BasianiEike, you are right, but there are so many games on steam which people bought but never played. If they bought them from web browser or Steam mobile application (Which very popular) after 7 days their money goes through game creators, not Linux or Mac OS X porters,because Steam mobile application at Valve's counter, detected as Windows user (Not Steam's Windows client).
Whole my post was about this kind of marketing, because most important for game developers is Market Share (It not always supplies from Steam Hardware/Software survey).

Yes, better safe than sorry!
(While in this case, you never feel the sorry and thus won't ever change you behaviour if nobody tells you...)

Quoting: BasianiIf you want to support Feral Interactive or other porters, you MUST buy it on Linux and play their games on Linux platform within 2 weeks after buy. If you're not playing ported games on Linux within 2 weeks after buy or playing them another operating system (No metter Windows or WINE), all money goes to game creators, not for their porters.
So you MUST play Linux games within to weeks after buy.
It's not my opinion, it's Aspyr official answer on question how they get profit from Steam.
So, my friends, after buying Linux game, we must (or should if you arn't agree) play it on Linux first two week.

To the best of my knowledge, you must play on Linuy if you did not buy on Linux.

The best way would by the way be to buy from Feral (or Aspyr respectively) store in the first place, which will make no share being deducted by some foreign shop (and were it doesn't matter when you play).

Quoting: Mountain ManIs this going to be substantially different from any other Total War game? Seems like if you've played one Total War game, you've pretty much played them all.

"Thrones of Britannia makes significant changes to the Total War formula", they say [External Link] (+ video [External Link]. I wouldn't believe too much of that until the release and the first reviews, though. If you're not into the genre, it might still not be too interesting.

Quoting: riusmaIt seems Feral wants its "Favourite Linux game porter of 2018" award! :whistle:

I have voted for somebody else last time to send them a warning.
So you all owe this one to me, I guess! ;)

Quoting: yar4eNot again!) I think it's enough strategy games for Linux already.. Sorry Feral, but i ain't buy this game.

I'm not into them either. I might have given this one a try - if I wouldn't be as much out of time as I am.
I'm happy Feral seems to do fine with these ports, though, as long as they emit a Tomb Raider or Life is Strange from time to time. ;)

Good news!
We were a bit short of Feral announcments lately, but it's surely getting better!
And I like the sound of "shortly after Windows release" (yes, I know which one would be even better ;) ).

Quoting: CybolicIf we're just going to ignore what the project lead is telling us and make up our opinion based on whatever we want to believe, why even discuss the update at all?

Without any information contradicting what Stephen Kick has said (and he really should be the one to know, seeing as he's both the founder of Night Dive Studios and the project leader), I see no reason not to believe what he's saying. Also, there's nothing to be gained from throwing away the work and goodwill they've achieved so far, so even with my tinfoil hat on, I still see no reason not to trust the update.

We shouldn't ignore it, but we could add some common sense and experience of life and also mind what he's written between the lines or what he didn't mention at all. If I'd be a backer I'd e. g. want to know how much of the money they got is left.

Quoting: 14Taking a break, like when you're done with High School and "take a year off" before going to university? Mmm....

No, more like when you went to university say a year, and then take a little break, you'll sure continue, later, some time, just earn some money in between...
