I don't want games that are addictive and exploit
it mainly to squeeze out *further* money from people (in particular, but not only, young people).

That just feels bad. Like I need a shower afterwards.

if feral confirmed native port

^_^

This is actually my point.
If it feels as native as this one

Quoting: scaineI have an Overwatch launcher in my quick bar now, thanks to Lutris. It feels native. So impressive.

let's be honest, most people won't wait for Feral.
Grab the Autumn sale discount at give it a go.
The port is announced for 2019.

Yes, I honestly feel sorry for Feral.
And considering Twitter posts by some of their devs,
they're quite worried about Steamplay/Proton. :/

Feral gets their cut of Protonic sales after the port has been announced:

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-is-officially-coming-to-linux-in-2019.13003/comment_id=141069

So Feral is already getting money for SotTR played through Proton and not using Windows during the first two weeks, even when they release the final port in - let's say - April 2019?
And all that it takes is an official announcement?

I don't see why Square Enix would agree to such a contract, but well, sounds good for Feral. :)

If that is true, we should expect very early announcements from Feral, right?

As much as I value Feral's work, having to wait a year or so for a port when a bunch don't get cross-platform online play I completely understand why some won't wait. I hope Feral don't stop, as their work is fantastic but they will need to find a way to get ports out quicker. At least they seem to be announcing sooner now, so that's a good start.

I wonder why it is not a viable option to work with their long term partners (Total War series, Tomb Raider) ahead of release. Let's say when the engine feature level is frozen and implemented. So they can release (almost) day-1?
Is it that the big AAA-devs are afraid of sharing code and content early, with external partners?
I don't know.

"Also, their artwork for it is absolutely lovely, wouldn't mind an expanded version of this as a background"

True, Valve published bigger version of these artworks, but in fact they are expanded only a little...

Still my fav (from 2016) :)

This looks great. And Black Mesa so far was a wonderful experience.
It's a community project. No wonder it takes them that long considering the quality they achieved.

TBH, I was quite upset that Valve did not come up with anything at all for Half Life's 20th anniversary.
Ofc, no one with a sane mind really expected Half-Life 3 or substantial news about it. But something that shows deep respect to the company's roots that started it all. A franchise that so many gamers still consider a milestone in gaming history.

Nothing.

That's just sad.

This is massively exaggerated and, thus, wrong.

Why would that be the case? Game developers on Steam should focus on ensuring compatibility with distributions that are officially endorsed and supported by Valve. There are only two distros that meet that criterion: SteamOS and Ubuntu. It makes their jobs easier. People running something else should test first on either or both of those two before writing bug reports or writing bad reviews related to technical issues.

I'm all fine if devs are just focusing on SteamOS and Ubuntu.

My point is that telling devs that there are "trillions of bug reports" for different Linux variants is not helping our platform. It's massively exaggerating the problems with different distributions.
