Quoting: XelancerPS: I see a world in not too distant future were you need 3 consoles, 2 PC ‘stores’ and 2 mobile devices to get the games you *want* to play.

Nah... you just pick your platform and then play the games that are available for it. There's no reason to feel like you're "missing out" just because every single game is not available on your platform of choice.

Linux is a growing market. If a particular developer wants to support Linux, great. If they don't, there are plenty of other games I can spend my money on.

It's as simple as that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: liamdaweWhat a fantastic way to put off a developer claiming they are making people beg or grovel or whatever as they just want to see how much interest there is.

I agree that this kind of attitude isn't helpful at all. Of course they aren't wrong about the futility of trying to gauge the market or estimating sales prospects by asking for comments on a forum somewhere. It simply won't give them any sort of useful data to base decisions on. If Windows gamers are interested in their game, most likely we will be as well.

But maybe in some cases they're just a tiny developer looking for the motivation/courage to try supporting an unfamiliar platform, and a few excited +1 comments just might make the difference. We lose nothing by indulging them, and we gain nothing by being obnoxious about it.

Like I said, if they support Linux, great. If they don't, plenty of other games to spend my money on.

I like digital board games. I've had great fun with Armello.

You consider 90 frames per second to be merely "acceptable"? For me, anything 30 or above is golden!

"With enough interest" ... Look, guys, either release it for Linux, or don't, but there are enough Linux games on the market that we're well past the point where Linux gamers have to beg. Don't want to support Linux? No problem. We'll just give our money to a developer who does.

I just have to say, performance is amazing! My system specs:

AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core
GeForce GTX 760 2GB
8GB RAM

So just above the minimum, but I'm running the game on the "High" graphics preset and getting a solid 30FPS on the campaign map and in battles. Very impressive! I could even get away with "Ultra" if I wanted, but there is some slight but noticeable stutter. Dropping down to "High" keeps everything responsive and silky-smooth.

I have to say, this really surprises me. I also have Empire: Total War, but despite being an older game, it doesn't seem to run nearly as well as Total Warhammer. I'm not sure why this is. Given my experience with Empire, I just assumed that Total Warhammer would run like a pig on anything but the lowest settings.

So kudos to Creative Assembly for some great optimization, and kudos to Feral for a great port!

Too bad there's no single player.

I'd be more excited if Razer products weren't complete shit.

You what would be genuinely mind-blowing? Anything from Microsoft Studios.
