Mad Max to release on 20th of October for Linux & SteamOS, being ported by Feral Interactive

Quoting: LukeNukemI think this will more than make up for not being able to play id Software's Rage on Linux.
I wouldn't even want it. It has amazing gunfight and overall mechanics, but it is like a demo of a great game - ends when you think the real gameplay is starting. :S:

Quoting: throghThis will be another DRM-release on Steam, so no chance to buy this one for me. :)
I agree that everybody has their principles, but Linux users are so good at their pickiness that it makes me wonder why devs even bother trying to port their games. DRM, microtransations, paid DLC, ...
Not only we are less in numbers, but 7bigger part of us reject purchases too easily. I don't like these problems either, but I will always buy a great game made for Linux even when devs can see the community hostility that clearly. DRM? Their right, people do pirate games too much. Microtransactions? Just don't buy them, thats the best way to battle them. Paid dlc? You are offered something that was rejected from original games most likely due to lack of time/money - profits like these are better than making the game 1.5x more expensive and you don't have to buy them either.

Why not just buy games we want to play for now until Linux is stable as a dev choice and then battle secondary wars?

The original 1997 version of FPS ‘Shadow Warrior’ is now FREE on GOG, along with both expansions

Yup, still free. This one is a nicely wrapped dosbox version. The redux is a real port I guess. Thank you for sharing the news :)

CD PROJEKT RED replied to me about The Witcher 3 and Linux, flat-out denying to answer any questions

Well there is not much use for them to port the game now and they should have just rejected the possibility.
This is too big of a game and Linux based sales will be really low, because, well because they are too late. Such overhyped projects are wanted by people and those who wanted found a way to play them already.
If it was a fast Linux release, we could see the Force Of Tux and the real, true numbers you can get from cross-platform PC sales. Now even if they will even release it, will it bring them money? Nope, they will more likely lose them at this point imho.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided looks like it may be getting a Linux & SteamOS release

Quoting: MblackwellIt's done by Feral.
Don't know the source of this info, but i wish to believe it. Feral does lovely job, in my experience their ports were really smooth and finished. Starting to save money just in case :D

Oh damn, I am so sad actually. Was going to pay full price when it would come out of early access

Shadow Warrior 2 has another new gameplay video if you didn't see it already

This and the first one beats DOOM in my game reboot list. Also on Linux the first one was the best quality game in my library. Love Flying Wild Hog. Hard to not get overhyped here.
