Quoting: GuestWhen you think Germany the first thing you think of is farming.
As a German, I'm not sure I get it. This is a joke, right?

Rise of the Tomb Raider announced for Linux, port from Feral Interactive

Quoting: GuestSo to get this right

If I want to support Feral, I can only do so by buying the game directly from their website?
They will get money when you buy it for Linux on a "proper" store (like Steam, GoG and some others), but that will be deducted by some shop share (Steam's is said to be 30%). Buying at their store would be optimal. You're getting a Steam key there.

Dawn of War III likely to get no more major updates as it hasn't sold well

Quoting: ColomboBut if you can't read, "bullshit" is not argument. Argument is bellow it.
"Many people talked about it." is so much more convincing...

If such magazines should exist - don't buy them. Buy quality magazines.

Quoting: GuestI get very confused when that's done as well. Most annoying. I don't get what's wrong with using good old fashioned Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4.
... well, not as old fashioned as spring or fall by a margin of several thousand years, I figure.

Quoting: Mountain ManGlad for people who enjoy this franchise, but I found the first game to be such an on-the-rails slog that I won't be buying this.
I had the feeling you could always go for some hunting or exploring.
I just didn't try as the story always had something urgent to do.
But who would want to blame an exciting story for not having time for some extended fishing? ;)

They didn't need to ask if people want this one, unlike with Forumula 1, so I guess the first port was a success!

Quoting: GuestI first read like this: and it seems he's from the same universe as me. I thought:An alien! Oh no! It's the beginning of the end!this is an attack from Mars. Green little men are coming!^_^

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: EikeIf you want fully native Linux games (in your undestanding of "native" ), you shouldn't use WINE either.
I never said I'm against wrappers. I was only commenting on the inconsistent claim, that Feral are encouraging native ports and Wine discourages them.
Playing Windows games on WINE is as opposite to native as playing on Linux can get...

Quoting: ShmerlOne is playing a game sold for Windows, and other is not playing the game that Feral didn't port. That's the options. So for me the first is clearly better, since the second would be 100% of games that are available in DRM-free stores.
Erm, did I understand that right that you're buying DRM'ed games for Windows (to play them under WINE), but not for Linux?
