Well, I don't want to start with speculation about UE4 etc. having issues on Linux until it's released. Even if testers report differently here.

Unless the developer is open to share what the issues they exactly hit with their port, it all stays speculation. But my speculation goes into their custom shaders/effects either, since if it was UE4 native stuff, they'd have gone to Epic to have the issues fixed, and it would be in Epics interest to fix it up. Maybe they even did, and the roadmap is just too long for them to consider a port at the moment too... we won't know until the developer is open to talk about it.

Sad though, because the game looked amazing.

Ah ye, have to play that one again. I've played it only a bit, and in the beginning game balance was very bad. Have to check if they have fixed a few of the quirks.

Finally. Been waiting for that for a long time.

Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry is acutally a re-release of Raven's Cry. I couldn't see that anything changed in the re-release. It has the same issues, bugs (even story-breaking ones), performance problems and really no difference story-whise (as far as I could get, I am stuck on one story-quest, played there three times, always the same issue). This issue was already (occasionally) there in the original version. They didn't even fix the voice-overs for the Vandetta release.

The exactly same game with a different name. That's what this is.

It has it's enjoyable moments, but the quality of the release is very poor. Very sad to me, since the game has a lot of potential.

He is not the first developer talking about issues with Unity3D and Linux, a lot of developers spoke about those issues already. One of them was Obsidian, so the creators of PoE. inXile has noted things like that on the forums, so do the SotA developers. So there seem to be quite some issues for Unity in Linux which need to be worked around, which are costs, and costs which probably are not paid for by our sales. So the thing to hope for is better support of the Engines in this particular case.

In the end, it was experience they gathered. That it was not worth it is part of the experience, so it was the right thing to do, even if the resume isn't good (for us and them, since it obviously didn't pay off).

We're a niche, and I think we can accept that, even if we'd like to see more and more games on Linux rather than less.

Not my genre, but looks nice!

Still hoping for a native AAA MMORPG in Linux which is not too PvP centric.

I agree, but put in heavy gameplay just on one encounter makes no sense. That's not fully thought through and bad done, or it was just the pre-game and an end-encounter because they realized they couldn't finish the game otherwhise. Sorry ;-).

But I agree, one of the better picks. Though, I personally enjoyed Shadow of Mordor a bit more. And my best pick certainly was Mount&Blade: Warband :D.
