Total War: SHOGUN 2 and Fall of the Samurai are heading to Linux from Feral Interactive

Quoting: Anders1232If I buy this game on linux to gift to someone that uses windows, will Feral get his slice? I already own the game.
Only if you buy it from the Feral store I think.

Looks like Rome: Total War might be coming to Linux, according to Feral's port radar

Obviously the radar is a bit glitchy. What it meant to say is that Feral will be porting both Witcher 3 and Skyrim into a single game! How could you not have seen that? :P

Ballistic Overkill to get Vulkan support tomorrow and lots more

Solid 100 fps, so I personally don't need it. I hope it brings in more players though. If anyone want to trade skill for FPS, I'm all ears! :D

The developer of 'Inner Voices' will seriously consider a Linux version with enough interest

Quoting: EhvisThe highest number of replies I've seen to such threads is about 200. Most are a few dozen. From a business point of view, about as unimpressive as it gets.
Of course, they need to take into account that only a small portion of people who would buy it are actually posting in (or even now of) such a thread.
That means you're basically ignoring the requests thread and you make up your own mind about the market potential and weigh it against the investment needed. Which does sound perfectly reasonable to me.

Quoting: EikeYou said this like you had some secret source of inormation unavailable to me. Where do you know that from?

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLMaybe this developer (one of few) collect Linux request and in next he asking about permission his boss or ask about this game publisher.
But that's the whole trick. They won't ever get enough responses in those threads for a "boss" or "publisher" to even consider it.

if enough people would request a Linux version
Those are the "suckiest" reasons. Enough? What is enough? Only a fraction of the people ever get into a place to request anything. An average "request" thread doesn't even get enough attention to cover the cost of a tweet, let alone a port. It's basically one of those easily made statements that can only lead to no.

Square Enix is selling Io-Interactive, developer of HITMAN

First thing I thought when I read that news was that this might mean the end for Linux support for season 2.

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Which wheel has the best compatibility to feature-set ratio? high end / low end price?
That's actually a two sided answer.

The G920 is the only wheel with 100% support. So technically has the best compatibility.

However, the G29 has the ability to identify itself as a G27 (and other). Which allows it to pass detection by games that feel the need to do their own detection. The G29 shares its driver with the other Logitech wheels (except the G920) and has a similar (limited) feature set.
