Why are we paying for products in the first place?
Because by supporting platforms , developers or publishers are guarentee a certain level of compability and performance.
Just because of that ; i'm waiting for Everspace to get official support. I just want to get a solid performance natively and if it is not i want to refund.
You can't do that with buying a product which not supports your system , OS ; because this software is not designed to run on your device in the first place.
If i was excusing that for piracy , i would be pirating supported sofwares too. Which i'm not.
I just don't want to use Windows but there are some apps i want to use designed for Windows first place.
For example ; if one wants to pirate everything then he/she can go with fully Windows versions by using Windows or Wine.
There is nothing stopping them.
Linux is a heaven when you compare piracy to Windows area , there are so few people pirating Linux versions at all.
We want to support devs who supports us , but i can't do that by also buying not supported items too. In this case , i would support Windows ecosystem only for not expecting support and most importantly telling devs " There is no need for Linux support , i'm buying it anyway. "
From my POV , that is disrespectful for devs who cares about supporting and releasing a Linux version of their product.
Also a note ; i'm not a Drm free freak. I'm just buying games from Steam.

Quoting: Doc AngeloIf it is not supported , why not?Quoting: LeopardI do piracy. But how and which products that i use cracked versions? Not Linux supported ones. I think paying for a product that not support Linux is abysmal to my usage case. I try to run them via Wine , sometime with success , sometimes not.What if somebody is using OpenBSD? Would that be a good reason to not pay for games - but still play them - if they don't support OpenBSD?

Amazon Lumberyard game engine is no longer going to support Linux, not enough demand

Afaik , Star Citizen team is customized the Lumberyard engine for their own use. So you can say they forked it for their own use long ago , Lumberyard without Linux support won't be an issue for them i guess.

I'm buying every product legally , which supports Linux.
Paying for a product is equal to me , expecting support. Since i can't expect support for a title i ran through Wine ; i'm not buying them.
If someday they start to support Linux , i will gladly buy them too. But until then , no Tux no bucks. Since running that piece of software is not guarenteed , therefore i don't need to pay.

Quoting: stretch611As for piracy...At least i will speak to my behalf.
It would be nice to avoid it, but sadly human nature is ugly.
With all the technical people that use linux... and the majority of linux users do have technical backgrounds. It is pretty much biting off the hands that feeds us. And with the amount of public domain and open source programs including games, it is sad that it still happens in this community.

Here’s a look at some good FPS games available on Linux & SteamOS

You can't get elusive targets of course , they're one time run missions and they have a leaderboard like a competitive game around the globe.

Quoting: lucifertdarkNo , it saves.Quoting: LeopardYes , Hitman is the most recent example. It is drm free. It doesn't need any internet connection for playing game.You're wrong about Hitman, you need a constant connection to get everything in the game, without a connection only the main campaign is accessible. It doesn't even save your progress without a connection.
Ah , if you are one of the people who saying " When a game is on Steam , it is not drm free no matter what ; because Steam is drm and you need to use Steam for games " , then i must say also GOG is drm. Because you also need account for purchasing and downloading games from there , naturally.

Quoting: adamhmYes , Hitman is the most recent example. It is drm free. It doesn't need any internet connection for playing game.Quoting: jensWhat issue did you encounter with DE-Mankind Devided on Steam? I bought it there including all DLC's and it's imho a very cool game, with fitting hardware even quite an astonishing experience.I haven't bought DXMD. It would have been an almost guaranteed purchase though, if not for Square Enix's prior dickery.
First the terrible state of the DXHR Director's Cut. To this day it still has many bugs that were either not present in the original release or were present initially and then fixed - they promised a second patch to fix the outstanding issues, but then it was delayed, and then they just went silent on it and it soon became clear that it'll never happen. In addition the DC actually looks a lot worse than the original release, with lots of missing textures and effects and much worse LOD scaling. And yet, somehow it uses up almost twice as much disk space as the original release + separate Missing Link DLC.
And then there's Square Enix's love of DRM. Thankfully Denuvo doesn't support Linux (and I hope it never will).
There was also the ridiculous pre-order scheme they attempted with DXMD [External Link], which they were forced to drop due to the backlash it caused.
Also while it didn't affect me personally because I've never bought anything there, they also pulled DRM-free downloads from their own store with no warning [External Link].
Quoting: LeopardAfaik , Feral's ports are Drm free mostly.I'd be very interested to know if any of them actually are DRM-free.

I'm a huge fan of the Deus Ex series & really liked DXHR, but Square Enix have pulled too many dick moves for me to consider buying anything of theirs that isn't on GOG.What issue did you encounter with DE-Mankind Devided on Steam?

Well , first person shooter games needs to be good at FPS wise. From this list ; i can say that Bioshock Infinite has pretty poor performance.
Although Metro series and Cs:GO running very good on Linux. I didn't try others yet.
For the Wine side ; Doom 2016 runs fantastic with Vulkan. I wish that would be native too.

What have you been playing and what do you think?

I played Doom 2016 via Wine 2.18 with Vulkan , that is such a good game. Shame that there is not a native Linux version out there.
Also played Cs:Go , Dota 2 and Bioshock Infinite.
Hell , Bioshock's performance was so poor.
