Quoting: crt0megaDude, I was in primary school when it had been released xD On the other hand I've completed the whole BioShock series, 2/3 on Linux :D
So you're forgiven, son.

Quoting: crt0megaYeah! I tried the original one a couple of years after release but I wasn't into dark, RPG-like FPS back then.
I was looking like your avatar reading this!

Quoting: rkfgNow that's what I call a commitment! Not only they did a proper video about the progress in all aspects, they even stylized it as a part of the game. It's easy to see whether people love their work or if they do it just for money and meeting deadlines. These guys are clearly the former ones.
They even had a playable demo, also for Linux! But it seems they have removed it from Steam since then.

Pillars of Eternity: Definitive Edition announced for later this month, new content included

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTg000h, I get your point. Usually I'd love to do the same if I REALLY want to have a certain game. Maybe you should look at my former comment, for this reasons also smaller studios should sell a "Season Pass" in advance.

If I'd like to have some game but I'm not that much into it, I usually wait for a sale, maybe also for a sale of the GOTY Edition etc.
I guess they often don't know what (and even if) additional content there will be before seeing at least the first week's sales...

The picture triggers fond memories of the game. I really should get the expansion.

F1 2017 released for Linux as Feral Interactive’s first Vulkan-only title, here’s a port report
7 Nov 2017 at 7:50 am UTC

AFAIR,

Feral is using a soure layer (wrapper) to translate graphics calls. The whole game is compiled for Linux. This is called porting.

VP uses a wrapper for Windows binaries. They help you running EXE files if you will. (Probably it's DLLs.)

Quoting: PhlebiacI think I only ran TF2 long enough to get that in my inventory... :whistle:
I missed this opportunity. :-(

Where do you find that? I couldn't find it in my profile...
