Quoting: tuubiBink's Unity plugin has supported Linux since August this year, but I guess the support came too late. Here's the changelog [External Link] for those interested.

This is really too bad. I guess the game will remain unplayed in my library for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, it's a damned shame. I finally have all the "Tex Murphy" games on steam now. (something that I have wished for during many years)
Unfortunatly, "Tesla Effect" & "Overseer" are the only two tex-games that I haven't played. Also, the only two that aren't avaliable on Linux, while the first four games are. :( :(

Just typical....

I choose "Desktop" mostly because I felt uncertain what "SofaPC/ConsolePC" refers to. It might have been explained in a previous poll that I missed.

However, technically both PC:s I use for gaming I use from a couch, sofa or lying down on the bed while gaming. I haven't actually sat down in front of a desk while pc-gaming since....maybe shortly after Y2K...something like that. So...not sure if I picked the right answer.

Bought "Ark:Survival Evolved" and "Road Redemption".

Honestly, these were two titles that I didn't even particularly want. But the 20-30 titles that I really, really, *really* wanted, were (obviously) "Windows Only" either permanently or at least for several more months. Depressing...

Just played through "DEX: Enhanced Edition", a cyberpunk platformer with quite a lot of rpg influences. Much better than I had hoped or expected, if only the graphics had been awesome like those of 2D platformers "Stasis" (coming to Linux) or "Deadlight" (windows only), then I think I would have giving it full marks.

However, as the graphical art is only decent/reasonably appealing, this lowers the athmosphere/ambience of the cyberpunk world quite a bit, so.....8/10

Thanks!

I'd interpret that as quite hopeful for "Batman" and at least no reason to despair about TW3. That leaves "Mad Max", that as far as I know has only had a *very* unofficial notice about it's cancellation. So no use giving up yet there either. Knock on wood.

Quoting: maodzedun

Quoting: ShmerlStill waiting for functional DX11 support. I wonder what will happen first. DX11 support in Wine, or official Witcher 3 release for Linux?

I don't think this will happen at all. At this points it's obvious it's gone the way of Mad Max and Batman: Arkham Knight ports.

Is it really confirmed that neither of these titles will come to Linux though? All I've read about either one is hearsay, speculation and pessimistic assumptions.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: TheBossDoing a simple "+1" post is actually against Steam's own rules, someone quoted it to me before but it's true.

I know that this is the case if read literally:

Do not do any of the following:
[...]
* Post spam (i.e. +1, 10char, rickrolls)

But having people express their will to buy a product if it meets certain criteria (Linux port) is far from spam and very far from say rickrolling. Most times, a +1 does not add anything. An argument doesn't get any better by someone signing it as well, it has to stand on its own, on it's contents. But for peopling interested in a product, it makes a huge different if it's 1, 100 or a million. There, the number of supporting people is a decisive difference.

I remember reading that thread a while back, and what you are saying was my thought as well.

It's quite possible that the moderators were (willfully?) misinterpreting the rule because it was never intended to apply to such a purpose as when to gauge interest in a product-release. Rather it was intended to stop people from simply adding "+1" to every other discussion, without contributing arguments or anything else themselves.

In essence, their closing the thread could be interpreted as "+1 for windows only, end of story!".

Yeah, I'll buy this and part one early in the new year. I've clocked 116 hours in the game, I've upgraded the stronghold to the max and sweeped through every location and minor quest I could find, but strangely enough I haven't played it to the end.

As I recall, it was a week long trip that interrupted me before I could reach the end and I've put off resuming gameplay for a long time. With this double-expansion it seem like I (inadvertently) made the right choice to put the game on hold.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroWell, there go my extremely unrealistic hopes of a Fallout 4 release :(

Heh, I nurtured the exact same fantasy up until the actual (anticlimactic) announcement came. At the very least I felt it was not totally unrealistic to hope for a "Coming to SteamOS spring/summer 2016" message.

I really must admit I had expected more...much, much, *much* more from valve. I guess hope is not lost yet but if Linux/steamOS is to ever become a realistic "Gamers Choice" then a serious driving force is needed. Someone who is really dedicated to *pouring* money and resources into the process of making lots of big, fancy aaa-titles available.

In general I'd have to say "AAA Absence". The great flood of linux games still feels almost exclusively like "tiny indy projects".

Not that I dislike indy games but when it comes down to which games I really *want* to play, these small titles makes up (generously) 20-25% of those games I have any actual interest in.

IF... "The Witcher 3, Mad Max, and the upcoming Fallout 4" were all released for linux before the end of 2015, then the year might have "barely made the cut". I'm fairly certain this will not happen.
