Quoting: jens
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoC'mon, Feral! Hurry up!
I'm waiting too, though I'm mentally preparing myself that Feral waits until all DLC's are out, similar like the release for Rise. But this is just guessing from me, really no idea when something can be expected :)
I suppose I can buy it right now, knowing that Feral will get their cut anyway.

Valve have detailed some changes coming to Steam in an overview post

Quoting: Doc AngeloAn exclusive game is a game, where the developer was payed to intentionally not release on other platforms or launchers. That's a big difference. Valve never payed anyone to artificially restrict the release of a software.
Yes they did. Every games that have a Windows version available DRMFREE on GOG or Humble, but with a Linux version available exclusively on Steam is because Valve payed for that exclusivity.
Linux versions of Metro Redux and Dying Light are an example of that... Obviously, Valve and the publishers will not recognize it.

Remasters work fine in DX11 mode already.
I know. I just want to be able to play the originals too.

I bet that Tomb Raider 2013 runs better on wine+dxvk than the abandoned openGL port made by Feral... The same goes for the Metro Redux..
That is why I WANT TO CHOOSE how to play my games on Linux: Windows version via Proton or "Native" version...
C'mon, Valve! I know you can do it!

Quoting: constIs there a way to automatically find games in my steam game library that still need ProtonDB reviews? I'd consider to help that way.
