While everyone will be looking at the high end stuff personally cant wait to see navi based apus love the Athlon and ryzen apus they work perfectly for the lan days conventions here in the uk. The athlon 3000 setups in particular are no bigger than a wii in size and can handle esports titles without issue.

The thing is the total war games use the same engine each time since attilla and before that it was the same engine until attilla or you port one there is little code work in porting the rest

Also the porting contrqct with CA and the fact that feral studios is down the road from the UK team that made alien isolation is why we got that game on linux

Quoting: Purple Library GuyLu Bu . . . that name takes me back. My grandfather was into Chinese poetry, history and art. He'd taught himself to read Chinese and he had scrapbooks full of stuff, including his translations of classic Chinese poetry. I remember when I was a kid, he would sometimes tell me stuff about Chinese history; I mostly don't remember any of it, but I remember him saying something about Lu Bu being a pretty tough guy.
Hes pretty much been a meme since 2002 DW 2 but yeah didnt die until his 60s and that was an execution killed his father killed his two adpoted fathers and mastered every martial art apparently.

Speculation: porting studio Feral Interactive could be in some trouble (updated: they're fine)

Quoting: Phlebiach
Quoting: Whitewolfe80wb ... promised Arkham then pulled the plug on feral.
Do we know for sure who pulled the plug? It happened when it was getting review bombed and everyone was using the (brand new!) Steam refunding system. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Feral backed out at that point. Either way, it's disappointing, as it seems the reviews turned quite positive after the initial hatred.
Yes Warner brothers cancelled the port, the statement came out the see time as they said the team that developed the game has already moved on to other projects and there was no further patches expected Jim Sterling did a video on it ages ago.

Hopefully it's nothing but I would not be surprised to see them go. You can only port when other IP holders want to work with you and since the arrival of proton even those that previously worked with them haven't bothered with sequels hitman and wb they ported mad Max promised Arkham then pulled the plug on feral.

A note on using Steam Play Proton and counting the sales for Linux (updated)
11 Feb 2020 at 2:00 pm UTC

A shame but I think it's unlikely ubisoft or zenamax/Bethesda are going to go oh shit we need to support Linux with native versions. BC recent steam userbase and Linux users now it's only those with a steam survey so say maybe plus 10k to the number of users but sits at around 150k Linux users. Now they could pay to hire a whole new team to port to Linux but for those numbers and bearin in mind proton is gratis why pay anything when your game is going to be bought by Linux users regardless. Rage 2 prime example valve worked overtime to ensure proton worked on it the day it came out. It cost I'd/Bethesda nothing.
