Quoting: EhvisThat means you're basically ignoring the requests thread and you make up your own mind about the market potential and weigh it against the investment needed. Which does sound perfectly reasonable to me.

No. There used to be a rule at magazines and newspapers, like one letter written to us probably stands for X people thinking the same but not writing. Of course, this must be adapted to modern ways of communicating, but something like this still applies: Very few people adding to the thread, probably not this much interest, more people writing, more interest. And all this must be compared to the size of the project: 100 people asking for Fallout 4 on Linux, not so much, 100 people asking for an indie project, hey, that's cool. So, you still must weigh the input, put it doesn't render the input worthless.

Quoting: michaI can't keep wondering whether it just was comparably little effort to port or if there's another reason to choose a 6 year old game with plenty of similar ones available.

I guess it's not too hard to port after some other games with the same engine, and my guess is that Total War sells well on Linux. (Not due to me, though.)

It seems Total War is selling well for them!

Quoting: EhvisThe highest number of replies I've seen to such threads is about 200. Most are a few dozen. From a business point of view, about as unimpressive as it gets.

Of course, they need to take into account that only a small portion of people who would buy it are actually posting in (or even now of) such a thread.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLMaybe this developer (one of few) collect Linux request and in next he asking about permission his boss or ask about this game publisher.

But that's the whole trick.

You said this like you had some secret source of inormation unavailable to me. Where do you know that from?

Quoting: EhvisThey won't ever get enough responses in those threads for a "boss" or "publisher" to even consider it.

The maybe, interest is low. And not many copies would be sold.

Quoting: PixelPiIt's still possible to buy gifts and store them in inventory, if you are using the bic pictures mode.

But then the gift is in your inventory and you can't do anything with it. :)

You cannot gift them away?!? Sounds like a bug...?

Quoting: calfretLiam,

Can we get a permanent link at the top of GoL for this site? I had to dig thru the articles to remember the name for it.

Th last news is from a week ago and the top line of the site reads "PSA: We are winding operations down to focus on GamingOnLinux. This site was a fun idea, but time is short and GamingOnLinux is more important."...
