Quoting: LeopardNo, i'm saying that West Norwood radar activity was showing that there was an upcoming game to MacOS and Linux but earlier to MacOS.

So delay of the F1 2017 is exactly like radar showed.

In that case, how would you link "West Norwood" to F1? Just out of curiosity.

Quoting: LeopardLinux version was planned all from the beginning , they just add a little bit drama in it.

That would be my guess as well. I'm sure that they're still learning about how the taste of "Linux users" differs from that of their well known mac crowd, I'm sure they have a much better idea than whatever twitter can tell them.

Quoting: LeopardMacOS and Windows ver of F1 2017 is available while Linux version is only appeared on SteamDB.

That's not really relevant though. The Windows and Mac version appeared at the same time. Before public release, SteamDB can't reach all that information.

Quoting: Mountain ManDo they really need the hype? I'm convinced Valve could quietly release Half-Life 3 on Steam and it would become a best-seller within hours just from word of mouth alone.

Indeed. Even without even listing it in the store. It'd be picked up from steamdb in no time at all.

Under the radar. Until Liam posts that it has released. :P

Quoting: wleoncioDang, not the answer I was expecting. :D

You should have asked differently: what percentage of Feral games have Linux depots and no Linux release.

Just in case anybody wants to draw conclusions. F1 2017 has Linux depots (encrypted) and a configuration.

I think we will see a fan made episode 3 now. Even if the names will be changed to protect the innocent.

Quoting: tuubiAnyway, you won't find a single game all of us would like. In this case you'd obviously hear the usual litany of "oh noes retro platformer give me my AAA" complaints.

It's irrelevant anyway. This is about who would like his help in porting. It is unlikely that he could get an AAA publisher to even consider it. A few relevant posts in this thread mentioned developers that were interested, but didn't really have the man power or experience with Linux. I think those would be good candidates.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhat I don't get is why they don't just add an occasional sync to it all to offset the rare case where there would be differences between the platforms.

Because the Windows devs have no stake in the matter. It works for them, so no reason to change anything. These things almost never happen with in-house ports or games that have console versions. It's probably also something that can be held on to because digital distribution makes it easy to force players onto the exact same version of the game.

Quoting: ShmerlLately, I wanted to make some tool like that myself, after realizing that POL is basically a dead project. But I'll probably stick to some basic scripts :)

Their Wine builds are still updated though. Which is my main usage of it, the ability to switch out various wine versions.
