Quoting: g000hWell, Shadow Warrior 2 has now been released, and the people who've bought it, for Windows, seem to be loving it. Sounds like it is well optimised, and runs well even on older graphics hardware, and the gameplay is great.

Fingers crossed for a Linux release *soon*. I, for one, am very interested in getting this on Linux and enjoying it. (Yes, I know it may never happen, but then... look at Mad Max and Rocket League.)

I prepurchase it on GOG and I am downloading it right now on Linux for my windows 7 offline test machine... 14GB is heavy for my poor bandwidth.. this will take all day..

Im sure they will port it to Linux and Mac a couple of years later, like they did with the DX9 version of Shadow Warrior 2013...

Quoting: BTREAnd, as much as I want to like GOG the fact that Galaxy isn't out on Linux yet, their subpar communication generally and a few other things make me think they don't care much about Linux users at all. I'd rather get DRM-free games from the humble store if I had to.

Why? GOG store is the mother of the DRM revolution and they have a 30 days refund policy...
And GOG connect...
And eventual FREE games (that is how I got Duke Nukem Atomic Edition there)...

You don't have those features on Humble...

Plus, there isn't an optional download client for Linux on Humble anyway... So, that specific situation is the same than the GOG's one.

About the lack of a Linux version of the optional Galaxy client, I am sure is due to technical reasons...

About the lack of DRMFREE Linux version of games on GOG which have Linux version on Steam, like Metro Redux, Saints row the third and Dying light, I'm sure is due to publishers whims and not because a GOG's fault....

Any way , Im sure Duke Nuken Megaton Edition will be back later this year... Or maybe they will port the 20 aniversary edition to Linux.

At the end of the day, this prove that DRM is EVIL...
When a game is DRMFREE, even if it is removed from stores, it can be shared like a book, so it can live for decades..

I miss the old AMD, with the hidden unlockables cores....
I use Intel since January of 2015.

Quoting: m2mg2Kinda silly to argue against DRM, then install Windows instead of Linux........

No at all...
I already have a Linux machine..
I am assembling another PC with Windows 7 64 bit OEM(no dual boot)....

I am against the DRM on Linux, because to request permision for to play a game you own is contrary to the FREEDOM of the Linux platform...

With Windows is different; DRM is the rule there. I don't like it, but I tolerate it If I have gaming benefits like, for example, the posibility to play 100% of my Steam library (the Remastered versions of Bioshock 1 and 2 are my next games to play)... .. My Uplay library.. my DRMFREE Windows games like GOG, Humble and Gamersgate.

..and my EA Origin Library empowered with EA access, "THE VAULT" feature that allow me to play big games like Battlefield™ Hardline, Dragon Age™: Inquisition Digital Deluxe, Titanfall™ Deluxe, Battlefield 4™ Premium Edition, etc, for just 5U$D per month... (not only that, suscribers have an extra 10% discount on the store)...
If the thing goes like this, EA will kill Valve in a few years, but not now...Not even close....

This DRM thing for me is cost vs benefit... There is no benefit with DRM on Linux...Specially if the DRM'ed games are games already available on Windows for several months or years...

I can tolerate the Steam DRM on Linux if Feral (or Aspyr or Virtual Programming) gives me AAA Linux games that aren't available on Windows. :)

Quoting: Beamboom@edddeduckferal

Thank you so much that you take your time to explain how things work "behind the scenes" in regards to the publishing rights etc. These are questions I've always wondered about.

Thanks again!

Quoting: Comandante oardoFeral acquired the publishing rights for Mac and Linux...
If that is the case, yes, they deserve money for job..

That's how all Feral games work.

hmmm..

But that makes the DRM situation even worst than I thought:
Now I know that your ports are Steam infected because YOU want it, and not because some big publisher want it...

Is not OK to force a person to install steam for to play a game...
Steam must be OPTIONAL, not forced (Like GOG Galaxy or Desura client).

I can tolerate that behavior a DRM'ed plattform like Windows, but not on Linux.

I dream with Feral games on GOG, but it seems that is not going to happen.

PS: I can tolerate your own DRM/Download client for your store, but not a third party DRM like Steam.

Feral already has been paid out by Warner, so We don't have to give a single cent to them...
Unless that Feral acquired the publishing rights for Mac and Linux...
If that is the case, yes, they deserve money for job...and We deserve a refund if they did a bad job.

ehem ;)

Maybe the Linux ports were done adhonorem by a few devs with the balls big like the Milky Way.

Quoting: PicoboomDeepSilver has been great about getting AA and AAA titles ported to Linux, and Darksiders disappointment nothwithstanding, I'm excited to see this game is at last coming to Linux.

Darksiders doesn't belong to Deepsilver; THQNordic is the owner of the franchise... Nordic doesn't care about Linux recently.

I got this game on the Humble Monthly Bundle of May...
Lucky me that I didn't activated the game on my Windows Steam account..

I would like to see a performance comparison between the Windows version and the Linux one before activate the game..
