Quoting: PatolaAnd the developer asked for this type of feedback.

Yes, and that's why I said I really don't understand this attitude from developers. Of course there are Linux gamers who will be interested in his game if he makes it for our preferred OS. It's a question that doesn't need to be asked.

Quoting: PatolaDon't be so grumpy.

Sorry, cynicism and sarcasm are my default modes. :D

Never mind the fact that the majority of potential customers will never even see let alone respond to that thread, so it's a very poor way to gauge player interest.

Like I said, if they support Linux then great. If not, there are other developers who will be happy to take my money. No hard feelings on my part. Just telling it like it is. ^_^

I still don't get this attitude. Of course there are people on Linux who will be interested. Why wouldn't there be? If developers did their jobs right and targeted cross platform from day one then releasing a Linux version wouldn't be a big deal. Seriously, the Linux gaming market has matured way past the point where we should be begging for developers to support us. If they make a Linux version, great. If they don't, it's their loss. There are plenty of other games for us to choose from.

The Windows version is still on schedule for the 18th and then all hands are on deck to get the Mac and Linux versions out as fast as we can.

Pretty clearly sounds like it won't be a day-1 release to me! So their hands are not on deck now, but will be after the Windows release. Sad we won't be getting it day-1 but oh well, hopefully it'll be a good game!

I'm too cynical to believe there'll be a Linux version until I see the "Buy" button on Steam. How many times have we heard, "We'll get to the Linux version right after the Windows release!" followed by "We'll get to the Linux version right after we spend the next couple of months releasing critical patches for the Windows version!" followed by "We'll consider looking into the Linux release just as soon as we're done with this DLC for Windows!" followed by "The Linux version is being delayed because we've hit some technical snags!" and then finally, 18-months later, "We're suspending development of the Linux version due to lack of interest. But thanks to everybody who donated to our crowd funding campaigns! Our Windows customers are thrilled with their game!"

I'm confused by the trailer. A disclaimer at the start says, "Contains gameplay and non-gameplay footage", but the trailer itself never identifies which footage is which.

Quoting: GuestThere's a google doc that someone sent me, very extensive list too

The list doesn't seem particularly accurate. It claims that Arkham City works perfectly, but I can't even get it to start.

Quoting: mylkado you think mircrosoft can make wine/proton somehow illegal if it gets too big?

Nope. Wine doesn't use any copyrighted code, and it doesn't use code injectors to alter the installed software. It simply takes Windows calls and translates them into ones that Linux can execute. Believe me, if Microsoft could shut down Wine then they would have done it years ago.

It reminds me of Titan Quest, which isn't necessarily a good thing because I found Titan Quest rather bland.

I'm always suspicious of games that try to mix different play styles -- in this case action RPG and strategy -- because very few do it well.

Quoting: elmapuli just wish we could find an way to stop using MS code entirely, even if we arent using the windows kernel and windows, we are still runing direct X and its libraries

We can only hope developers see the advantages of making their games Linux friendly and start supporting Vulkan.
