Quoting: bgh251f2Saying It is Still possible is not very reassuring. I'd prefer if they had said nothing.

So have I. I felt like slapped in the face.

On Linux The Life is Strange (Episode 1) which really impressed me. For full game I will wait for some sale or will buy it next month, because before playing it I spent a lot on PS Store.
Second one is Original War (through Wine) which is one of the games I love for many years. Third one is Civilization V, which is great.

On PS4 I play XCOM2 (because my Linux rig is too poor to handle it) and Mad Max (which I bought few months ago while it was not sure that the game will come to Linux).

Quoting: GuestDungeon Siege 1 :D
A timeless game.
Can't wait to finally complete it, as I did not 10 years ago.

I did complete the game 10 years ago, and while I don't like the story where guy with pitchfork becomes a hero, I have to admit it was one of the best Action RPGs I've ever played.

Quoting: niarbeht2003 called, it's trying to get some of that Penguin Money.

There's nothing wrong in it, each title deserves some money IF USAGE OF WINE IS SEAMLESS.

And yet another question. Rise of the Tomb Raider will come to PS4 in 3 days. Any information about plans to release this game on Linux?

Quoting: EikeI'll continue to feed it with Bethesda, Bethesda and... hm, I'll think about the third.

Let me guess.... Bethesda? ;)

Need to think a bit more about it. But yes, Fallout and Elder Scrolls is what I'm missing by far the most after dumping Windows.

@eddy I have to add that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition would be great starting point for Bethesda and Linux adventure. I mean I guess 99% people would prefer Skyrim Legendary Edition with mod support because of the price, but I can ensure you that we will prove with our wallets that picking Skyrim will be very wise!

I've bought it on Steam some time ago when it was already released for Linux and was for 4.99 euro on Summer sale.
Anyway, I've finished the game on PS4 and was great.
Currently one thing is bothering me - do the hair finally look nice on Linux version and do not kill the performance?

Current price of the game is too high (let's see how it goes on Warhammer weekend).
70 euro for 3 games - 7,6 and 5 years old?
I know porting isn't super easy task, but I bet migrating was mostly connected to the engine, it did not require migration from scratch for each title. And if so selling those games for 70 euro is not a great idea.
Don't get me wrong, but I would rather save this money and spend it on Mankind divided when it's released. And for saved 20 euro I would buy many games on next Steam sale.

Hopefully there will be reasonable sale during the weekend. I was thinking that 20 euro for the whole bundle would be reasonable. Paying 20 euro for a game (or 30 for the Retribution) is not something I will get for.

They have announced requirements [External Link] on Friday. Of course the game is currently Windows only...

First of all let me start with the comment regarding this topic => I think that what Feral does is great and I am very happy that except newer titles (Shadow of Mordor, Company of Heroes 2, Tomb Raider 2013, Alien: Isolation) they now port games from 2009,2010 and 2011, because my hardware will be able to handle those games. And I will buy those games directly from Feral.

Now off-topic

Quoting: liamdaweAlright, let's steer this back away from Wine I let that go on too long already.

Sorry Liam, but escaping from this topic is pointless. Especially that we see new kind of situations - for example the one we have with Witcher - it looks like the announced game does not come to Linux and without Wine we won't be able to play it. And it looks like Wine is getting closer to DirectX11 support, so we may be able to play newest games. But so far we're not. Let's wait but do not comunicate to people that discussing Wine makes no sense because you do not use it anymore. Keep in mind that other people still use it and thanks to it they may experience games that will never get Linux version.

Quoting: boltronicsWhy??!?!? These games all work perfectly under Wine. Have for a very long time.

If they wanted to truly release Warhammer games for a new audience, they should have ported Space Marine! That's a game that does not work under Wine, probably only because of copy protection.

It's all about building up our library without having to resort to hacks like Wine, which never truly work properly.

That's a very unpopular opinion, but very much my experience. Wine gaming is a compromise and relying on it sends developers the wrong message. I don't buy Windows games any more - my last purchase was the Dishonoured expansion back in early 2013, but I've bought around 200 Linux-only games in the subsequent years.

Great to see a title of this quality arrive on the Linux platform. Well done Feral! (again)

The problem is the same as always, people will claim Wine is great, but in reality it fails miserably at too much. Even games rated "Platinum" often still require tweaks and end up having lots of issues. Native all the way.

I agree that native ports are better. But without Wine I would not finish DIRT 3: Complete Edition or Witcher 1: Enhanced Edition. And I cannot imagine situation that I would have to run Windows to play those games. Wine is great, of course it has issues, many games do not work or crash, but without Wine we wouldn't be able to play so many great games.
Even some "ports" are just a Windows versions of game bundled with Wine (However those games have some issues for me).

And of course I agree with you Liam that even if the game runs on Wine we should be happy when the game is ported. But I also see boltronics's point, that it would be great to have port of a game that does not run on Linux at all. And such a comments are valuable, because they show the direction of the titles that publisher can focus on.
It's easier to get more money for Linux version if it was impossible to run the game on Linux at all. It's obvious that title that was released in 2009 and runs fine under Wine was played by some people (and they have it already in the library) so it will be harder to earn much on such a title.
The best way to earn a lot while porting is to port a game at day one, like with the XCOM 2. I'm not saying that the numbers will be perfect, but it will be available for Linux users for much longer time, from start when it is expensive (50 euro) to a moment when it will be as cheap as XCOM:EU. And for that reason I hope newest Deus Ex will be released soon.
