What I do find very interesting, is that the game will seamlessly switch the on-screen prompts between gamepad and keyboard depending on what you last pressed. I’ve never seen that before, and it’s really quite a nifty little feature.

The Arkham games (also published by Warner Bros) have always done this. But, of course, they've never been released on Linux.

Windows keys?
Such a thing exists?

I thought activating and playing the game on Steam Linux is enough
to make sure Feral gets the money - no matter where you got a valid Steam key.

To my knowledge, keys are platform specific, so for example, buying the boxed version will always count as a Windows sale even if you use the key to play exclusively in Linux. Since CD key resellers deal in retail keys then what you're buying is almost certaily the Windows version, and Feral will be deprived of a sale. This was confirmed by Feral:

"Unless you see an option for platform then it's most likely a Windows Key."

If your goal is to support Linux developers then always buy through Steam for Linux and only when the Linux version is actually available.

Just buy it directly through Steam. That way you know it's legit, and it ensures that Feral gets their fair share of the sale.

To be fair, bundlestars is a very legit website. I would still advise buying it from Steam or Feral directly, to support them.

I did not see it that way but you're right and I'm all about supporting Linux gaming. I will buy it from Steam.

Yes. Bundle Stars is almost certainly selling Windows keys.

Quoting: FergleFerglesonI was under the impression this had been delayed.

It had been. The original release window closed a month or two ago.

Wow, 67GB download size. That's going to take a while.

Quoting: WorMzyLooks like "Depth Charge" has moved back to "Soon", and Shadow of Mordor and Company of Heroes 2 are both fully visible in "Very Soon".

That's encouraging.
