The Linux 2017 GOTY Awards are now over, here's the winners
22 January 2018 at 8:15 pm UTC

Quoting: BeamboomWith the first already been released for Linux and Feral also sitting on Rise Of for Mac plus hints of them preparing a Linux release, I'd say it's a bit more than just wishful thinking even though it's not officially confirmed yet.

OK. I'll just leave this here and walk away… ;)

Quoting: liamdaweI think you need to calm down a little.
I'm trying, I'm truing! I'm TRYINGGGGG, GOGGAMN!!!! :D
No, seriously, I've got the hint.
Quoting: liamdaweHalf-Life 3 doesn't even exist, Squadron 42 hardly exists, Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't exist yet either.

Rise of the Tomb Raider does exist, it's already released as a full game on Windows and people suspect it's a possible port from Feral, just look at the replies here. So yes, there are indications.

OK. But, just for the sake of clarification, you do know people have been seeing "indications" for all those aforementioned games since who knows what time, don't you? And, Windows release speaks nothing about forthcoming Linux release (see "The Witcher 3", for example). Feral may drop hints however they want, this does not prove a thing (I do remember those "The Witcher 3 coming to SteamOS™" banners, thank you! ).

I can live with Feral being the "best" porter (ekkhhm…), but "Rise of the Tomb Raider"? Seriously?!

What's up with all this wishful thinking?! I mean, games got purged out of the lists just because they were not released in 2017, which means a year is important! And now this! "Rise of the Tomb Raider" should be excluded from the list entirely! Otherwise, why there were no "Half-Life 3", "Squadron 42", "Cyberpunk 2077" and other mythical games that may see a release in 2018 despite there being absolutely no indication they ever will be?

Quoting: jensGive it a rest please and get a beer.
Ah! My favourite commenter! Your comments are so substantial! :) Way to go!

Quoting: ThorstenFolkersTo be honest it is the first time I heard about itch.io
Looking into it right now! :)

Looks very interesting!

Please note that we are a new developer and only two guys working on this game right now.
I'd say itch.io is definitely worth a shot. Why choose when you can have your game everywhere? The more the merrier!

And, it may sound a little too late, but welcome to GamingOnLinux!

Quoting: ThorstenFolkersWe rely on some Steam matchmaking features for the online Multiplayer and also copy-protection. So a DRM-free version is possible in the future but is not something we are working towards at the moment.

Thanks!

Thorsten
Thank you for your response! Sadly, I'm not interested anymore and will pass. Good luck!

Looking forward racing you guys soon! :)

Hi!
And what about distribution platforms?
Steam-exclusive? Or will there be DRM-free versions?

Nearly six years after the Kickstarter, Stainless Games claim Carmageddon is still coming to Linux

This is not even funny anymore…
The heck with this! It never was "funny"!
For all I care Stainless Games could burn in Hell right now. They are my prime example of scammers. :(

The developer of RUINER confirms the Linux version is being worked on now

"…it is actually being worked on."
Until it isn't.

We saw this countless of times already. Developers twitting, developers creating Steam depots, developers open Linux support job vacancies or getting into negotiations with porting companies… And then first "we have no news to share with you at the moment", following with "no current plans as much as I am aware of".

Even working demo versions are no protection (hello, "Through the Woods" ). And this is really sad. :(

P.S. Sorry, I'm still depressed about BattleTech. :(

BATTLETECH will only be coming to Linux post-launch, along with other features

Yet another game thrown out of the window for me. Really disappointed by the fact I actually backed it. I was of higher opinion about HBS.
