To fund linux ports from windows or console games, thus which development has been covered but not the port work, YES I would pay an extra for a linux port of an old game. I hope every one agree on that, as long as linux is not a widely-adopted gaming OS.

Let's take Skyrim for example: it cost 15€ / 15$ on windows on steam, I agree to pay for port an extra. If I already own that game, I should ONLY pay for this extra (thus related to the port and directly payed to the port company: Feral, Aspyr, future companies). The problem is the cost of this extra: should we pay 1/3 more, 50% more, 100% more?
Globally, I will personnaly agree to pay 10€ / 10$ more for a old game I would like to be ported natively on linux. Thus, if I don't own it on windows, to pay its current price on windows plus 10€. If I already own it on windows, only the 10€ extra for the port directly to the port company. It would be normal that the porting company fund-back on those 10€ the game right owners if I already bought the game on windows. Conversely, it would be normal that the game right owners pay-back the port company if it is a total new sale of the game. In the two case let's say 1 or 2€?

And I would pay the traditional 60€ for a AAA game I expect to play having day-one linux release. A day-one would thus be more rewarding than a port after months or years of windows selling for both game right owners and port company as the total amount would be higher than the price of an old game plus its linux port.

On the amount, Feral, Aspyr & cie should tell us the level of cost a port involves?

Babies and children are best and funnier video games ever! :-PPP
And when they grow up, they even play and talk video games with you on their own linux machine they love tinkering! They enjoy fixing stuff with you on computers, with servomotors and raspberry pi, gardening with you, fixing stuff on car, tinkered sail and house, etc. while always laughing and making hugs. But yeeeees, the cost is definitely 2 years of sleep-and-personal-activities deficit... :-D

With one baby of few months, hard to play for me (one hour max per day, and only when he is sleeping, so no immersive games...don't do child :-P ) : Chivalry, Unreal Tournament 2017 (last mode with flag is excellent!), Civ 6 (but I found it is too slow and limitative in its gameplay mechanics to enjoy, I still prefer Civ 5!)

I would play if I have more time: Mordheim with my skaven squad (even if half the pack is handicapped!), finish Pillar of Eternity, Okhlos: Omega and XCom2:long war, begin to understand Total War Warhammer (wow! I tried to understand one hour...f**k that sounds complicated and confused!) and discover Alien:isolation I buyed on Feral Thanks to new here ^^

My son of twelve plays Civ 6 (but he has the same feeling as me and played yesterday on civ 5!), Rimworld and Heroes of M&M 2

On windows boot, I still play Everspace to unwind and Ghost of a Tale at four hands with my son of twelve. I dream that those two ones come to be ported on linux!
On Android, Kingdom Rush series (all finished yet but still funny to replay), jewel legend and Punch quest

I don't know MadMax and I would love to buy it on Feral but ... in my situation, is it serious? ... out of fundind Feral for lovely future ports? ^^

I'm a bit sad that such game, perfect for playing in a bed with a laptop, doesn't work well with intel graphic card. Some of you can do a return on Torment using intel graphic card please?

Steam says that I spent 81h of my life on Shadow of Mordor on Gnu/Linux. Directly bought on Feral store. For sure, I will day-one-on-linux-release buy the sequel Shadow of war if Feral ports it.

#THEREQUESTINATOR (I don't like twitter ^^)
Skyrim, The Witcher3, Ghost of a tale, Fallout new vegas & 4, Everspace, Mordheim: City of the Damned

And oldies like Morrowind, Oblivion, Heroes of M&M 3 HD (even if Loki port in its time but we can't find it anymore), the Stalkers series
