Quoting: elmomDon't you people read previous comments? Like mine (count 5 backwards).

A Dev (Sam on the Steam forums) of the game has been porting the game on personal time, but actual release is not very likely currently, since it involves per os middleware licencing costs.

I read that and I was aware of that fact even before. I based my guess on the quoted link to a certain post. You see, the problem is the game isn't being ported only to Linux but also to Mac. Your post about Sam doesn't say anything about Mac so it's possible they outsourced the task to Feral (maybe gave them what they did for Linux to lower the costs).

I like your directory layout argument (and the conclusion). But Mac doesn't seem to be a strong argument, as VP is doing Mac wrappers as well, it seems.

Quoting: EikeHe said "Linux"! :D

Too bad they still can't say "Windows":

it can work on PC, Linux and other platforms

While it would be fine, I care much, much more about the "Linux" part.
Call Windows "God's Own OS" - as long as you give me my Linux version.

Quoting: chelobakaI noticed that porters use similar pattern for executable names in SteamDB.

These are from VP:
launch/4/executable: Binaries\Linux\bioshock › ./bioshock
launch/1/executable: ./dirt

These are from Feral:
launch/2/executable: GridAutosport.sh
launch/2/executable: AlienIsolation.sh

And this is from Dirt Rally:
launch/1/executable: DirtRally.sh

I guess it's obvious.

Update:
launch/2/executable: LifeIsStrange.sh

Yeah!

Thanks for poiting out!

Quoting: GuestHaha, well, I was hoping for a fun racing game but now I know this won’t be it. Probably just another incredibly hard and unfun simulation like Grid Autosport.

AFAIK, it's much more simulation, so much harder, so probably much too hard for people like me.

Quoting: PeciskBut as regarding these bad posts it is worth politely contact media and inform them if they got something wrong.

I did for c't, pointing out the driver problem.

Quoting: toorThe most famous french video game website also just released an article about how "failure steam is with linux". Claiming that it's not going well at all and will disappear.
Do you think microsoft is getting major video game medias to give a bad image of steamOS ? :þ

I'll never ever believe they would take money for such artices, but I do need to mention:
Renowned German (paper) computer magazine "c't", AFAIK the computer magazine with most subscribers in whole Europe, has written a slating review about "disastrous" XCOM 2 Linux port (they've use the bad nvidia driver...):
