Well, I suppose it´s just to hope for the best then.
Still, I really hate announcements like this since there have been so many examples of the linux version being delayed for an extreme amount of time and in some cases even outright cancelled.
This happens when the developers decide that they first need to release the windows version, then focus on patching for several months, then decide that DLC should come before linux version, then decide that too much time has passed and the game did not sell enough to justify making the linux version...

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

Well, assuming that games such as "Bethesda" and "Rockstar" titles are certainly not available for porting.
I think my most wanted title would be "Rise of the Tomb Raider", since the first game was great and I hate having a game series interrupted. However, in case that game is already a "port-in-progress", since there were hints of that happening last year, then I think I would choose:
"ELEX"
I love Piranha Bytes games, such as the Gothic and the Risen games and ELEX sound like a game in that style only in a very interesting futuristic/magical setting, also open world and offers lots of playing time which all seems very appealing indeed.

Looks like a Linux beta of Battle Chasers: Nightwar is finally coming (update: it's here)

Very nice!
I have honestly been feeling quite disappointed with december/january, I had hoped that this game, or "Ruiner", or "Conarium", or even some pleasant "surprise release" like Tomb Raider/PoE2/System Shock, would have occured by now.
Instead, I haven't bought a single game since "Black Mirror" on the 29:th of november and it's pretty rare that I go this long without finding *anything* to buy.

Like many have said, this is both terribly disappointing as well as worrisome for the future.
I loved the three Shadowrun-titles from Harebrained and felt that this game was a sure thing for both quality and prompt delivery. My six most anticipated titles for 2018 were "Pillars II", "NWN:EE", "System Shock", "Tombraider II", "Pathfinder: Kingmaker" and this game (in no particular order), so I certainly hope there are no other nasty surprises ahead.

CRYENGINE to get improved Linux support

Sounds somewhat positive for the linux port of "Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem" then.
"Linux support is planned, as we promised during our kickstarter campaign, but we can’t give you any ETA. Our small team does not currently have the manpower to maintain two platforms at the same time and we still have to implement core features, fix bugs and improve the game’s stability on the PC version before we can move to Linux. We will try our best to release a working Linux version as soon as we possibly can, but we might have to migrate to CryEngine V first."

Depth of Extinction, a turn-based tactics roguelike with RPG elements set underwater, it's good

Cool! I have it on my steam-wishlist and I´ll buy as soon as it´s available for purchase. February is starting to look like a fun month this year.

Voted. Except for "Best Update", where my favorite was "Beamdogs 2.5 beta update" for their Enhanced Editions of Baldur´s Gate, Planescape and Icewind. Adding achievments, new classes, auto-looting and much more.

It feels a little curious that it's not seen as ready for official release yet. Considering that I spent around 120hrs playing through the main game as well as the expansion and never had any real issue with the game, not even a single crash.
GOG have a little sale on again, time to get some cheap games

It´s supposed to be really good though.

Quoting: Guestjust picked up divinityI still haven´t gotten around to playing that game. I really wanted to wait for "Divinity II" to be confirmed for linux porting, before I started playing the original.
It´s supposed to be really good though.
A Linux version of open-world RPG 'Seven: The Days Long Gone' is a realistic option

It would certainly be very nice!
However, I think they sound *extremly* non-committal at this point in time, in particular given the overwhelming show of support for a linux version that was given in the steam-forum. So I´ll take the casual "let´s-just-see-what-happens, with-zero-expectations" approach for now.
