Quoting: GuestWould I have to specify between things like to use DX11 or DX10 ect. per game, or would it automatically do all that for me? I wouldn't know which games use which version of direct x and could imagine it being confusing if I had to specify per-game which version of directx to useProbably it will do that automatically since game would make a Dx10 call ,not Dx11.

Hmm , looks like they need Vulkan for MacOS.

Quoting: madchaotikanAHHRGGHHHH!Reason is probably they also need to hire / pay a Linux specific dev if anything occurs in support terms.
Typically the first version since ages officially released in Germany won't come to Linux. I was really looking out for it. :-(
As they obviously already ported their engine, it's hard to believe (at least for me) that it is that much effort to support at least Ubuntu/SteamOS. Maybe they also fear the user comments if not tested properly on a loot of Linux distros.

Guys , i think i couldn't express myself enough.
Sure , we can say screw FM , it is the same game every year anyway. And i agree as a FM owner who last bought FM 2016 then said screw it.
But one least game means maybe one less newcomer. When people are hoping on Linux , normally they look at the native games available first.
Yes , i'm also started to spend much much more when i started using full time Linux. But appearently that is not enough despite our efforts.
Things is , we need another push in some way. Otherwise i'm afraid we will see many more series like that fading away. According to last response of Paradox ( covered here as an article ) they're the possible next publisher can do that.
I don't know also why you are so optimistic. We surely know , at a first glance maybe everyone can say " At least we're getting indies no matter what " but even situation on there is not bright. Because indie games we get are mostly from new people with their first game ever , thanks to Unity and Unreal's Linux support they also give us Linux builds. But most of them don't plan Linux for their next title. ( According to back2gaming interview )
In AAA terms , Feral is the last stronghold. And we're also not getting all games of theirs. Some of them are Mac only.
To sum it up ; until a new push about Linux gaming, that trend seems to be continued.

But problem is that ; Football Manager is a PC exclusive game. Means consoles are out. So that is very niche and Linux gamers can/ could mean so much more to them than Linux gamers did to say Rockstar , Epic Games , CDPR and so on.
That is a warning bell.
There is an obvious statement about strategy genre on Linux: it is maybe most represented genre on Linux. Reason is simple. Strategy games are not on consoles because of their nature.
If that also spread to strategy , you can say pretty much Linux gaming took a devastating blow.
SEGA is one of the most Linux friendly publishers , i hope they continue to support.

Quoting: BeamboomI'm here because i'm a gamer on Linux. That's it.Quoting: LeopardPeople on Linux don't buy gamesWhy do you bother stating such obviously wrong claims? Why are you even here, on a site with pretty much only Linux gamers buying games (with the possibly single exception being you).

Quoting: TuxeeObviously that is not enough when you compare ports cost/ Linux staff cost vs sales.Quoting: LeopardPeople on Linux don't buy gamesMakes me wonder where those 417 Linux titles in my Steam library come from. Well, quite a few come from Humble Bundles, but apart from that I've bought 17 games so far in 2018. In they weren't even in the below-one-Euro pricing range: Helium Rain, Factorio, Skyforce Reloaded, RUINER, ROTR, Steamworld Dig 2,...
I'd rather say people on Windows don't buy games. They copy 'em.
Congrats for you man

People on Linux don't buy games
Edit due to misunderstandings:
People on Linux of course buying games. But it seems that is not enough to justify expenses for Linux builds.

Quoting: liamdaweWhat is wrong with my saying anyway?Quoting: LeopardAre you surprised, when people have attitudes like this ;)Quoting: liamdaweYes , few actually stopped supporting Linux while most of them didn't even come to Linux at all.Quoting: LeopardYes, Linux has a small market share and developers aren't going to get rich doing it, however I'm arguing against it being inevitable for all games on Linux, which is complete bullshit.Quoting: liamdaweWell , unless company/publisher is just doing Linux version without seeking financial gainings.Quoting: LeopardWell. That is ineviateble for all games on Linux.No, it's really not.
Since Steam came to Linux in 2013 there's very few games that have actually stopped supporting Linux.
