Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus announced with Linux support, due in 'late 2018'

Quoting: m2mg2I'm hoping this isn't the shot away from the Feral Radar, but it seems likely as Feral have ported the other Warhammer 40,000 games. I'm hoping for another non RTS game from Feral.
As I wrote pretty clearly, this is not from Feral.
Did you? I'm sorry, I didn't see that. I've read it at least three times and don't see it. Must be going blind, or dumb.
has just been announced by Bulwark Studios and Kasedo Games, it's due this year with Linux support.
Is it not clear enough?

Quoting: holziI own a lot of Paradox Games on Linux and I play them quite often. But on the other hand EU4 Multiplayer was broken on Linux for looooong time, so I always had to play the windows version via wine....
No , problem is not having them or playing them on Linux.

I know so many people ranting about Linux gaming and yet i see them from Steam playing Windows only games. Therefore , they're buying these games on Windows and starting threads on game discussions "port it to Linux." themed.

So as a perspective of a dev ; why should i put effort for a Linux version? You can use Linux and rant about it but eventually you're buying them on Windows.

You're a dual booter too and you're probably have bunch of non Linux games and you keep buying.

Why devs port their games to Linux when even Linux users are buying on Windows? For making someone's dream about " When my library will be equal as Windows one , i will happily ditch Windows " ?

SteamOS didn't turn out to be what we all hoped
Without AAA games and lack of popular games , what did they expect exactly?

I'm on Linux solely 3 years and in these years i saw several things that won't go away:

1-) Lack of AAA , popular games

2-) Windows experience at ease of use wise

3-) Problematic , half assed drivers both from Nvidia ( prop ) both from AMD ( open source and prop)

AMD ones are missing features or performance wise they suck , Nvidia prop driver refuses to happily integrate with Linux in general ( X problems , Wayland problems , DKMS problems , incompatible kernel problems , Prime Sync ( tearing ) problems , half assed laptop gpu support that leads users to either for Windows or accept suffering for getting past Nmi watchdog lockups etc.

Let's face it . With that rate, Linux gaming will only serve as a indie gaming platform ; nothing more.

Quoting: ArdjeOh... fsck! I gave away my dvd thinking I could get an online version. (I gave away all my physical media to whomever wanted it).
Prey was to me one of the better story FPS's.
Meeh! How can I obtain a copy now :-(.
Ebay or......

I tried your Fallout New Vegas wrapper and it didn't work.
What happened when you tried to run it / what was the terminal output?
There was nothing , it starts installing and then finished install. Terminal closed at light speed so i can't catch any messages from it.

Yes , but they gave us Bioshock Infinite and Witcher 2 which they are very high profiled games.
I didn't like the Witcher 2 and while Bioshock was good I can live without it.
Which ported game you can't live without it?

Shadow of Mordor , Life is Strange or F1 2017?

There is not a single third party ported game on Linux that you cannot live without it.
