Back in the day, I Kickstarted several games, all of which promised Linux versions, most of which panned out quite well: Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity, Planetary Annhiliation, and War for the Overworld. Akaniero: Demon Hunters was a waste of my money and it's free now, with a 35% positive rating. I have also prepurchased Torment:Tides of Numenara (can't wait).

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: oldrocker99+ for The Witcher 3. No other game would mean more to me to be able to play; I've been reading the novels (HIGHLY recommended, and you can find fan translations online) and ache to play Geralt (and Siri) in an open world... :whistle:

Feel free to pop in to Witcher community forum. It can benefit from more Linux users :)

It had never occurred to me; I posted a whining request!

Here's hoping :S: . The CIV:Beyond Earth Aspyr Linux port has a large number of Linux users on their Steam forum who are unhappy...as far as a sale goes, when CIV V came out, the day of release they made it available for 16.99 with all of the DLC. That was a monster sale indeed.

I noticed that the wine PPA pushed out rc6 the day after this article appeared!

I started in 2008, with Ubuntu 8.04, and, at the time, there was exactly one freely-available commercial game that had a Linux client available: Neverwinter Nights. I happily played it (and still occasionally fire it up, and it still works; not bad for a 15 year old port) until the Humble Bundles came up. I dual-booted from 2012 to 2014; when X-COM came out for Linux, I deep-sixed my Windows partition and haven't looked back.

I have seen gaming on Linux grow from Steam's initial offering of mostly Humble Bundle games to the wealth of titles we have now. I used to buy just about every Linux game that came out, and now I'm pretty damn picky.

We are in a Golden Age of gaming for Linux. :woot:

I have already prepurchased the game. I CAN'T WAIT!

When they mentioned Planescape, they had me hook, line and sinker.

Shared the link for this page onto the Ubuntu Forums Gaming and Leisure thread, on a thread on which the chances for CIV 6 for Linux were held in doubt.
