Quoting: DMGAnd what kind of help you want from game or these comments?

"So what" sounds destructive to me.
I want comments to be non-destructive.
Shouldn't be too high a bar.

Quoting: mortigarWould assume Feral does not only make money from sales, so they would need to get something from the person they are porting for to make it worth while.

As far as I know (I really need to store such statements somewhere...) they are paying to get the right and source of the game are solely earning from the sales.

One reason for the many Total War ports for sure is that it gets easier when you've already done it several times. (And I would hope the original developers might take some care, but who knows...)

Quoting: EhvisPeople (and most animals) are naturally selfish. It takes a conscious effort to consider the needs and wishes of others. Unfortunately there will always be people that are either incapable or unwilling to do so.

"Considering the needs and wishes of others" includes the needs and whishes of those prefering something else than Total War. Obviously.

Quoting: DMG

Quoting: noxSo many strategy games :(

So what? It is may favourite genre. So I would like to see more strategy games on Linux. MORE I say! :D

Ahh! If it's you favorite genre, that changes everything of course...!

No, seriously... As said, I'm happy that Total War seems to be profitable for Feral, as long as they also port something that I enjoy from time to time. But "So what" doesn't help anybody.

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. ;)
