It is very typical in the gaming industry for practically all game companies to insist on signing an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) for anyone who is working on any aspect of a game (external contractor or internal staff). Then the company controls information about game releases. It is usually set up so that release information is meticulously planned through the marketing team.

Quoting: PixelPiWow. Hitman 2016. Really? Feral do not make any prisoners. :D

EDIT: "HITMAN FOR MAC IS STANDING BY FOR METAL"

Metal becomes a running gag.

Mac users can upgrade their beautiful hardware with Linux. ;)

Right now, I'm playing one of Knockout Games earlier ports - Shadow Warrior (2013) - and it's playing very nicely (at 4K resolution). "Good job!"

Quoting: Frank DrebinPardon my noobish question but I have Ubuntu 16.04 and the game requires 16.10. Is there a chance I could run the game on 16.04? I don't feel like upgrading my perfectly working OS because of one game...

Don't you just need to run a system update, e.g.:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

You can check the current version with:

cat /etc/debian_version

From my perspective, 16.04 is the release version. And 16.xx is what you get after running updates.

e.g. On my PC at work, Debian 8.0 is what I originally installed, and now it is up to Debian 8.7

Yeah, thinking about getting the new month's subscription myself. I did get last month's subscription in order to acquire XCOM-2. Then on last month's subscription, there were 8 additional games. Of those 8 additional, 2 were for Linux, and the others weren't. I'm a little disappointed in that regard. However, quite pleased to say that I didn't already own any of the games in the bundle (It's annoying if you get given something you already own.)

Last month's Linux games: XCOM-2, Steamworld Heist, Okhlos
Remainder (not Linux): Ryse: Son of Rome, ABZU, Project Highrise, Husk, Hollow Knight, Oh, Deer!

My own experience with Humble Subscription - Yes, you can cancel it, rather than continue running and get charged for the next month, *BUT*: It is best to cancel approx 24th of the month, because on 26th-27th they already grab the money for the next month, because you didn't cancel it soon enough. (You can still speak to Support and get a refund, but in order to avoid that.)
Also, it is good to decide to buy EARLY because from starting subscription until the date you end it (say 3rd Feb - 24th Feb), during that subscribed period, you get 10% discount on Store purchases. (As soon as you end the subscription, the 10% discount also goes.)

Heh. A friend shared this with me via email. So, I had just claimed it before visiting GOL.

From reading all the various comments, I'm tending to believe that Hitman (2016) is the most likely game port. The next comments are talking about big, popular games, rather than my expectations for the Feral port...

If one of the companies who has released big, popular titles, maybe titles getting on a bit, but still incredibly popular, to Linux then there would be a decent amount of profit to be made.

For me, two of the biggest absent titles are: "Witcher 3" (CDPR) and "Elder Scrolls Skyrim" (Bethesda). It's my opinion that if either of those titles were released to Linux, millions of pounds could be made from the relatively small market share of Linux gamers.

One of the other big big titles, namely "Civilization 6" is already in the works being ported and expected any day now. (The same was true of "Civilization 5" - It is/was massively popular with Windows gamers, it had a Linux port, and a big wad of money was generated from happy Linux users.)

There are quite a number of possibles out there. Just looking at the current partners, there are probably at least 50 games it could be.

I'd like to see "Rise of the Tomb Raider" come to Linux. (Feral brought "Tomb Raider" to Linux, already.)

Then there's "Just Cause 3" (Feral brought us "Mad Max" to Linux.)

Maybe one of the existing Feral Mac Ports e.g. "Mafia 2" (I'd like), "Thief" (I'd like), "Borderlands" (I'd like).

Hehe, just thinking a Trump mask would be good DLC for Payday 2.

Changed my password as well. And even if I hadn't, I only use it for this site anyway.
