Egosoft have confirmed that X4: Foundations will be on Linux

LoL. X:Rebirth a secret masterpiece! HAHAHAHAHAA.

Totally agree with Riddick. They are not able to cut off their old tails, technologically stuck in the 90ies attempting to fix it at the wrong end. Now the universe is even more static and feels less than space than ever before...

They ruined the series with these completely stupid highways. As it was a rollercoaster simulator for minors in "space theme".
Rebirth is still unplayable due to bugs if one actually attempts a serious playthrough. Not a lot of people even try because very few complain.
I won't even start talking about the AI which is apparently the same for each class of ship rendering the ship roles absolutely useless even if there was some basic fleet management.
I bet those things won't change for X4.

But thanks for the Linux support. Appreciated. I will probably buy it because no one else bothers porting games.

Do EULAs of modern games still allow such things?

Even before oculus release a us senator wanted facebook to tell what data it is CONSTANTLY SUBMITTING.
I must confess, I don't understand the point you're trying to make here...
Think about twice what you're buying and who is it selling . . .
It's far more than comparing specifications.

Quoting: omer666So Occulus' decisions led the dev to ignore our OS more easily.

In the case of a game mainly directed towards VR, I can understand this point of view, even more so if it was not founded by Linux gamers in the first place.

At the same time, in this case I am not really interested in this game either. When a new technology is the game's main interest it always look more like a demo, and you end up with a great concept with very few content to realise it's potential.

And as side-note: HTV VIVE by VALVE is already released, will have linux support soon and is a drop in replacement for oculus.
It even does work with enemystarfighter already.

This is not about VR or enemystarfighter being VR focused this is about the dev just does not want to spent time on non-windows systems.

jesus christ. . . i really hoped this would replace FTL on my most favorite games ever list. :( :(

There is no reason for this -.-

I was fucking waiting for this >:(
If they are talking about a "port" possibly in the future, maybe the game is less cross-platform than we know. It should be a simple click Export to Linux, but perhaps they've highly customized it?
doesn't make sense.
rather looks like he don't want to test/support it.

A Four Way Comparison For Alien: Isolation Shows Off The Performance Difference

What GPUs, what driver, why Ubuntu for AMD and why SteamOS for nVidia.
Whoever did this should be ashamed that these questions rise and stay unanswered.
What a pointless waste of time and effort.

I don't know why its better or worse to develop (games) on Linux because i use Linux 99,9% of my time at work and at home. All i know is i have to puke as soon as i am forced to use Windows and i would never ever develop anything volunarily on a non *nix platform. At work i dont develop games but at home there is something on progress which could end up on steam some day :)
