When a game has a Windows DRMFREE version, but the Linux port is Steam exclusive, I always suspect that Valve has funded that Linux port... That will explain the Steam exclusivity.
(Is only a theory; I don't have solid evidence.)

I would like to see a Linux vs Windows benchmark with a more modest hardware.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoAnyone know if Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth [External Link] work properly?

I have played it 4-5 months ago with wine-staging, though i don't remember witch version it was. It run perfect, only problem i had was imput lag but that was probably because of my system not wine, i am using an optimus laptop with bumblebee. So it should work i reckon.

The GOG edition is different than the steam one...
I understand they fixed the bugs and they patched it for new Windows distros.

Quoting: GuestDon't worry next January some (non)tech website will say it anyway: "Wine 3.0 is out and ready to disappoint you again."

Honestly I feel a little guilty that I haven't donated for the Wine project yet. I enjoyed so many older games that I though I could never play because I choose to use only Linux. I use it only for games as I don't use any special software, but I am really surprised how many games I can play.

Buying Crossover is a way to support WINe

[quote=DamonLinuxPL

Is ok if windows version is not available in this language but if main game for Windows have all language for example support 10 language version but Linux version only 3. See?[/quote]That is not weird, that is just dev's laziness...

About the game, I have it already on GOG...

I'm waiting for the Linux update.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLI hope Aspyr not make problems like with CIV V when for Linux version they not add many languages supported by Windows version...
I hope... anyway it would be strange if you do not get to Poland game a Polish language.
So don't screw up Aspyr like before...

Not so weird...
Scratches came to my mind. Is an Argentinian game that is not available in spanish.

Quoting: KelsI've been seeing discussion about this, wondering just what the devs who leaked are getting out of this. Seeing as sales are traditionally depressed right before a sale people know the date of, this just hurts their full-price income. It's not exactly a benefit, and in fact I don't really see anything positive for the leakers.

How many persons with a healthy mind pay full price for a game?

I think the TRUE price of a game is the one that the game has on sale...
Take a look at Shadow of Mordor Bundle [External Link] AKA Shadow of Mordor GOTY... How many months the game has been "on sale" for just 5 U$D?

But, sadly, big publishers raise the base price before joining the steam sales.
