Quoting: stretch611Of course this sale started 2 days after I paused my Humble Monthly. :(

But, that just means I need to wait for a few days before I get anything. (so I can get an additional 10% off from the monthly subscription rewards)

Same for me - Doing exactly what you're doing.

Hi, thanks for trying it out on Steam Play / Proton, good to see the results you got. Interesting to see how this performance changes over time, as Proton gets improvements.

Also, of course, I'd prefer the performance gains of a native port. Today, I've been watching various Early Access Game Play videos on Twitch and Youtube, and getting keener on the game myself.

The Steam Community link mentioned in another post, saying to Show your Linux Interest here - It has now been moderated, and can't add comments unless you own the game. I was on the verge of adding my interest to it.

Yes, very interested in this one. And I already had it in my Wishlist. Go Croteam :)

There is a temptation to break my own rules about buying the title before it is out for Linux, if it plays on Proton and also based on previous Linux treatment by this developer / publisher.

Well, Valve have updated my Steam client to the Proton-enabled version already. I hadn't jumped ship onto the Beta release, like many others here did. I was thinking: Okay, time to install DOOM (which I own already). But then, it is late at night, and we all know it works.

One game I really really wanted on Linux was The Legend Of Grimrock II which was released to Windows only. I played and completed the first game in the series, The Legend Of Grimrock, natively on Linux. Why oh why did they not release the second on Linux?

Well, it is a relatively small install, not much more than 1GB hard drive space. Installed it, played it for an hour, no glitches, all working beautifully. Wow! This is less than a week after Valve released the Proton (WINE incorporated into Steam) tech as a Beta. Now I'm playing a Windows game with it in the Official Steam client (for Linux).

Big Thumbs Up!!!!! :)

I don't have a good idea what the clues are pointing towards, however just sharing a few titles that it "could" be, and I would like. Trying to avoid ridiculous titles which will never come to Linux.

Shadow Warrior 2 (I did manage to shoe-horn the clues onto this title earlier)
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Hitman 2
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War (note that the Definitive Edition is due soon, on Windows)
Left Alive (Square Enix)
Elex

Added the game to my Wishlist. Looks like my sort of thing. Interested to see game play and reviews when the game is ready. Looking at the pre-alpha video, I'm guessing this is at least 6 months away from release.

Let's hope they mean a delay of 2 weeks - 4 months. Longer than that and it starts to get frustrating.

Bought this 3 months ago (on a 1 day sale). Haven't got around to trying it yet. Yes, it certainly looks like the sort of game I'd enjoy =P

Got Desperados, thinking about getting Battle Chasers.

Don't have a guess for a game, but noting a small coincidence that might help someone to come up with one:

The words "Working With Fire And Steel" are title and lyrics from a song by China Crisis.
The star symbol has 8 points, and the number 8 symbolizes "Lucky" in Chinese culture.

Then something stupid popped up in my head - Don't say we're going to get Shadow Warrior 2 ?? (and other than Chinese game content, there is no other link to the items I stated earlier.)

EDIT:

One of the things that Lo Wang, the character from Shadow Warrior 2, says in the game is "Do you feel Lucky? ...."
Well, do I feel lucky?? :)
