Sorry, Paradox, but DRM-free or it didn't happen. I won't give Valve a cent.

Quoting: BeamboomOooh - do I sense a fighter? Alright, I'll offer a new chance to win those €10:

My odds were always good :)

Oh, I'm sorry, but you seem to mistook me. Money was never an issue and I stand by my words.

My actions were (and still are) pointed towards telling people not to jump a hype train before release (well, and to entertain myself, ). No Tux == No Bucks, basically. We know "The Witcher III" was also "confirmed" (as were "Batman"™, "Street Fighter"™, "Giana Sisters"™ and sh**load of other ports). So, this announcement basically changes nothing.

Let our bet be intact.

Quoting: Alm888Doesn't count, sorry.

You're right, but we wouldn't bet a penny on your side anymore. ;)

That's quite understandable. :P However, I'd like to know, how much you already bet on my side till this day. :D

Quoting: ShmerlWhich reminds me, I should play Fallout New Vegas. I've bought it on one of the GOG sales but never played it before. From what I've heard, it's supposed to be the best of the Fallout games.

No, Fallout 2 is the best of Fallout games, ever! :D

Quoting: BeamboomWell, that was faster than even I expected.
Doesn't count, sorry.
Feral can say whatever they want, until it gets release it is not here.

Don't get me wrong, your chances have risen dramatically right now, I acknowledge that.

QuoteWindows has support for both DX12 and Vulkan.
LOL! With their level of expertise I doubt they can handle even DirectX 9, let alone Vulkan or other low-level "close to hardware" API. :D

Quoting: Alm888How about other stores? Something that not restrict games by region… GOG? itch.io?

If they include Steam keys in their offerings it's fine with me?

Or how about the Humble Bundle store? That's Steam keys too. Or maybe only Steam keys?

Fine by me.

So, to summarize, we make a wager.
I, Alm888, say "Rise of the Tomb Raider" will not be released on Linux during 2018 and if this is true you, Beamboom, are obliged to gift me a game of my choosing not exceeding $12 (sorry, I want to count in $, hope it is OK) on a store of my choosing.

You, Beamboom, say "Rise of the Tomb Raider" will be released on Linux during 2018 and if true, I, Alm888, am obliged to gift you a game of your choosing not exceeding $12 on a store of your choosing, except Steam.

Is everything OK?

This should be fun. In the worst case scenario (for me) I will have the opportunity to actually test a gifting system! :)

Quoting: Alm888And your bet is? (Like, what do you offer in case of loss)

How about a game of winners choice, max €10, during Steam December Holiday sales?

€10? Seems fine, but there are two "small" problems here:
1) I don't use Steam and won't use it no matter what;
2) I heard games purchased in CIS region only valid in that region so unless you are living in this region I won't be able to give you your prize (or, more accurately, you won't be able to play the game I gave you).

How about other stores? Something that not restrict games by region… GOG? itch.io?

Quoting: BeamboomLet's keep this on topic. Lara Craft(sic). I bet it will come in 2018. Do you bet against? I raise the pot if we say within the next two years.

What say you?

And your bet is? (Like, what do you offer in case of loss)

Quoting: BeamboomHmmm - do I sense the potential for a bet in the air here now?... ;)
Do you want a wager? I like the idea! My bet: I bet "The Witcher 3" will not be released on Linux, ever, but let's span the time frame by 2018), hence, I buy you a gift code for "The Witcher 3" on GOG IF it gets Linux version.

Your bet? :D
