XCOM 2 is starting to look mighty interesting

Quoting: GuestIt looks fascinating and as long as its a day 1 release I may pre-order, this is what is holding me back from Total War: Warhammer, not knowing if its day one or not (and hate o have to wait for almost a year before it appears on Linux).
Feral seemed to indicate that they would aim to release on the same day.

As for Total War that isnt happening on the same day from what I was told.

While it's good the game is released, it would be nice to see some sort of official notice from Larian. Nothing on twitter so far by way of announcement or fanfare.

Quoting: PangachatBtw: ATI video cards might have rendering defects. This is game issue and will be fixed soon
Really promising ;)
Does seem like they may have put effort into supporting AMD cards with this port, which is somewhat redeeming given the huge delay. Time will tell though.

Steam is having a whopper of a sale right now

Quoting: Stupendous Man... I bought Shadow of Mordor and Cities Skylines from GMG for about 9€ each (they are Linux versions, I checked!)...
How did you check and ensure this?

Quoting: Stupendous Man... By the way, I bought them all from my android phone but activated the codes on Linux, I sure hope that doesn't mean the money won't go to the Linux devs ...
I don't know, but I just want to be sure, if I was at my PC within the first week then. I would be happier to buy via the app then activate on Linux.

So glad the sale is on until 4th of Jan, I'm out of the country and only have the mobile app, have to wait until I'm home on new year's day and boot my PC to buy up some deals. Got to make sure my purchases count for Linux.

Speculation: A job posting for Elite Dangerous hints at possible future Linux support

I would love a port of this, I miss playing it was great fun. I know they have a Mac Client already so some of the effort of porting the Cobra engine to opengl must already have been done. Surely it couldn't be too much of a stretch to extend to Linux.

I reckon the stumbling block I reckon is the fact they have to keep all x86 platforms in sync, what with Mac and windows players being in the same universe, any Linux users would also need to be in the same in order to give the place any life.

Im hoping on Shogun2 coming across to Linux as that is my favourite of the series so far, but then again I also looking forward to the warhammer version

Quoting: MayeulCSo, Will splitscreen be available on Linux/SteamOS?
I would expect feature parity with windows release, and if larian have done their work well (which given the length of time it took them they better well have) cross platform multi-player.

Total War: ATTILA looks like it's preparing a Linux & SteamOS version

Rome 2 and shogun 2 with the latter being the best in my opinion are definitely in need of porting.
