I don't mind directly downloading and installing the executables for use and archival purposes.

If Galaxy was free software, then cool. Since its not, there's no big loss for me in not having it.

It would be nice if this was upgraded to the newer UE4 so we can get native Vulkan support instead of the typical eON wrapper like in previous ports.

I play on Linux because its about showing support for more platforms. Even if gaming on Linux goes against what made it great to begin with: free software. Installing non-free drivers, non-free software, and software with DRM conflicts with that.

Since you can get Windows 10 Home for like $7 on a grey market key site, I don't see the price advantage of running Linux just for games. Not to mention needing non-free components through the non-free Steam platform to play non-free games that lack source code.

If you muddle up your Linux install with that, it makes it no different than Windows.

Quoting: g000h

Quoting: TuxeeGot it from the Humble Store. Never played it in the old days - really looking forward to do so now.

Very tempting to get it via Humble store - You get the Steam key and the DRM-free version too.

I bought it off of Humble Bundle today as well since it was the cheapest store and I had some Humble Bundle wallet credit. Having a Steam key and a direct link to a DRM free tar.gz file helps too.

You rock! One day when I was mowing the lawn, I had the interview you did with Boiling Steam playing on my phone (headphones of course) and bought the Linux version of Day of the Tentacle soon after.

It was my first time playing the game and you did an amazing job.

I hope you eventually assist in bringing over more games like the Secret of Monkey Island remasters.

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Sweet, now I can finally push out a SteamOS package.

I know this may sound crazy to some of you, but would you also consider a Snap package for Ubuntu 14.04 and above? Would a game like this work in a sandboxed environment?

This is great as performance will be on par with Windows as Source 2 was built with Linux in mind. No more DirectX to OpenGL conversion.

Oh and Vulkan!!!

Quoting: Vuko2000I need some awesome FPS shooter on Linux. It could be awesome if they give some DRM Free version like a GoG.

I'd love if Ballistic Overkill was on GOG too.

Quoting: M@yeulCThat's great news, I'm really excited! Good work Feral, as always!

Now, I just need to buy a Vulkan-capable card... :D

What do you have now? A $100 AMD RX 460 or Nvidia GTX 1050 can run Vulkan. Heck, even older cards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan_(API)#Compatibility [External Link]
