Quoting: tonRIf any Valve employees read this, here's my suggestion:

Please buy iRacing and make it as your own IP Valve.
or
Make your own F2P racing sim with offline capabilities

Why? I'm not totally making any speculation here. But my heart tells me probably F1 2019 may coming to EGS exclusively. Let's be honest, EGS doesn't have so-called proper racing games. So, if Valve secured iRacing (not forget, port it to Linux), the future of Steam (read : money) maybe secured and Valve can continue to be lazy some more after that. :D

Quoting: lijuThats a good news. Hopefully they can run it under Linux and give a hint about it to the audience ( ;

If you mean run the tournament under Linux I doubt it. I'd love to see that but they don't really do it. Just look at DotA 2 TI. That is run on Windows 10. The machines that are played on are Windows 10, the machines that run OBS for the streams run Windows 10. I just don't see them using Linux for artifact.

As I have said before, my opinion is that they should give a free version only for linux that you can get for a limited time of a couple of months for example. Whoever gets this can play the game for free but only on linux. If he wants to play on windows/mac or does not get that in the limited time of the offer he has then to buy the game. What do you think of that idea? If I were Valve I would do that to help linux market share, not the exclusivity thing.

Quoting: DissCentI gotta say that I'm really fed up with this game since they decided to "equalize" all maps so it's always the same size and the same shape. I was a great fan of the Neo Tokyo map when it was still different from most of the standard maps. But as always, "pro league" is way too important for the publisher and so they decided that all maps need to be of the same shape. This makes the game incredibly boring for me.
