Personally? Empire Earth but I imagine such an old title would be better ported by a smaller operation or simply wrapped.

Now if anyone wants to painstakingly recreate the San Andreas map and provide it for download, I'm sold.

Stainless Games are clearly the good guys here by teaching Linux gamers an important lesson: Never put your faith into proprietary software or it's developers.

Super charming. It amuses me how what once needed to be prerendered can now be done in real-time, several times over. Is this anything like The Ship: Murder Party?

They've mentioned that players on both GOG and Steam versions will be able to play friends and join public games from their game client.

Well , you can't on GOG version because there is no platform equality on GOG.

A general tale of warning against relying on Steam multiplayer integration. This vendor lock in trap has prevented some number of titles such as Disco Dodgeball from being brought to GOG due to complications with multiplayer compatibility.

I think you misunderstood what i was saying.

GOG version will have multiplayer but via Galaxy Client.

Since there is no Galaxy Client for Linux (available for Windows and MacOS) , you won't be able to play multi. That isn't the case with Steam though. Steam is available on Windows , Linux and MacOS.

Direct IP and/or hosted server multiplayer without going through some proprietary network == best. I am aware of "GOG Crossplay" but that is only a shoehorn to be able to comply with Valve's multiplayer framework.

Quoting: facePlantedWhat about Amazon Lumberyard (and Star Citizen) ?

IIRC Lumberyard dropped any plans for Linux support, in typical back-stabbing fashion.

Not knocking the GDP or anything, I think it's great what they're building. But gaming is not so important to me that I must be doing it while in public or on the go. In fact, I would be embarrassed to be caught with such a device beyond the age of twelve. But maybe that's just me.

This could be a great gift for the kids, though.

Quoting: NanobangUntil Tripwire decides to man-up and keep their word, I'll see if I can't find a cracked Windows version to run in Wine. I'm sure as shit not gonna buy one, unless they release it on Linux.

Maybe ping that guy who does flatpack+wine builds for some unnamed file sharing site.

The KF2 port has been such a train wreck that it's kind of hilarious at this point. I can see it now: 2021: "Tripwire begin work on OpenGL renderer, say Killing Floor 2 for Linux should be ready for release by 2025"
