Quoting: SolipsistWerewolfDirt Rally 2 would be great.

That will be VP that ports those as they have done all the other codemasters ports

Quoting: jardonTbh I think Feral should focus hard on trying to port multiplayer games. Thats the biggest area that Proton is lacking and one of the biggest dealbreakers with people trying to switch from windows. If you cant play with your friends then they are way less likely to stay on the Linux side of the fence.

they do with warhammer
just look at the top100 list

there are so many linux games. which game should they port?
pubg.... dont think so
ubisoft (clancy / for honor)... dont think so
gta5.... rockstar same as ubisoft
paladins, path of exile.... free to play... how should this work?

dead by daylight... maybe

there is not much to port for feral on the MP market, which brings the moneyzzzz

Warframe

Already works flawlessly on lutris for me

Quoting: preludelinuxThe best bang for the buck supporting a game out the door as a day 1 release , would be "cyberpunk 2077"

Sadly the chances of seeing anything from cdprojeckt red are about zero given the meltdown they had with the linux community before during and after witchergate.

Quoting: legluondunetI think Feral have better sell if they focus about great games that do not work or have little compatibility with Steamplay/Proton.

I'm dreaming to play Rockstar games on Linux:
GTA
L.A. NOIRE
RED DEAD REDEMPTION

and all the Just Cause chapters too.

Big dream since Read dead isnt on Pc period would love them to bring to linux tho

Mmm Hitman 2 is unlikely they were part of Se when they gave permission for hitman to be ported now they are independent they appear to of cooled off on linux. Again don't know the numbers or return they got from the native version would be interesting to see if there is any data on that. What I would like to see versus what am expecting to see

Like to see
Witcher 3
Thronebreaker
Titanfall 2

What I am expecting to see
Total war something
Probably Shadow of tomb raider
football manager 2019

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Yes but 3000 thousand of those games are shovel ware shit people that spam asset flips every week hell i could put up three linux games today using unity they would all be based on unit z but hey 3 new linux games. It is not the qty coming to linux we need the top tier games for every shovel knight or hollow knight there are 100 boring bland asset flips with zero bug testing or quality control. Maybe it's just me having a narrow view of games but no having 4000 thousand games doesnt mean anything if only 1/4 are worth playing.

That is not a linux problem. It is indicative of every gaming platform... and actually software in general, not just games.

I remember back when smart phones were brand new, Apple and Android bragged over who had more games in their respective software stores... who cares when 99.9% are crapware? Needless to say, no one cares how many titles there are.

If anything, this proves that linux is a viable platform. If there was no money to be made, even these asset flipping game authors wouldn't waste their time. It takes the promise of money being made for even the crapware to exist.

I never said it was a linux problem I was merely responding to the people posting graphs showing there being 4000 games on linux so nothing wrong yeah there is most of them are shit

Quoting: tuubiI don't get all these doomsday attitudes. We probably won't see any more games from these developers on our platform (which certainly makes me sad as a fan), but that's all this means.

With Larian not Porting Divinity 2, that's basically a whole genre (classic CRPGs) gone, no?

With Proton there is just a few games / developers behind walled gardens. The boundaries become more and more not technical.

Well yes and no not having native ports is a big problem because its valve they get white knighted and true they have helped linux because it helps them have an alternative to windows if MS decide to make it difficult to work on windows. Proton is funded by valve and valve does have a patience meter just look at steam machines gone no marketing no mention of them on steam store anymore steam link failed barely mentioned and sold for under a pound last two steam sales. Valve have money and resources but they seem to have a very limited amount of patience.

By closing down Windows MS threatens Valves busyness foundations. So there is two possible ways for Valve to act:
1. Become part of the MS store.
2. Find another open OS base.

I think what Valve does, and did for the past few years, is a very long term enterprise. They never shifted from it, as we can see when we look at Proton. They need Linux, and I think they understood Linux needs more users to be attractive to developers. With the visibility of their strategie they naturally reinforced MS on their strategy. So I guess it's no wonder we see a lot of movement these days:

- Proton makes games playable we never dreamed of.
- Proton makes developers ditch native versions.
- Linux userbase might (hopefully) rise because people that wanted to change to Linux get to play more of their Steam libs on Linux.
- MS might try to deny more games on Linux.
- MS suddenly loves Linux (where it's useful to them).

What we won't see, I think, is Valve stopping what they do.

So from my perspective: F*ck inXile and Obsidian and move on.

Mmm we def see valve differently I see it as a company that abandons products and projects with out any notice after previously being keen and holding press conference after press conference. Valve have helped the visablity of linux gaming for sure but I will never white knight a corporation yes they are helping linux because they expect that investment to pay off. Of course that is to be expected valve is a corporation and needs to make profits yearly I get it but I treat annoucements of support as promises people make in the pub ie it might happen it might not.

Valve is not a corporation! I'm not white knighting them. I say they can't go without an open platform to exist on.

Yes it is

Quoting: g000hFor the miniscule amount of losses, instead see the gains...

https://www.statista.com/statistics/761434/number-linux-games-steam/ [External Link]

Meanwhile, I have worked in a technical role in the games industry for 10 years - Indie and massive corporation.

Reasserting the fact that it was hard to find high-calibre staff with these credentials: Lead Unity programmer, DevOps/Server programmer, Business Intelligence/Data Scientist expert. Many people interviewed were not suitable candidates, due to inexperience or lack of ability (i.e. Couldn't complete the on-boarding tests). Ever tried applying to Google? ;)
