IO Interactive retains the rights to HITMAN and becomes fully independent

We can ask Knockout Games (Aaron Melcher) if he is more often hired, or reaches out to developers with such proposals. I think the former.

Which reminds me. I wonder what happened to the Shadow Warrior 2. It was still supposedly coming, but there are no news.

Quoting: liamdaweI don't think anybody hires Feral, Aspyr & VP directly. I think they reach out to developers and publishers to port their games.
Not necessarily. It can go in both directions.

I'm interested in whether they'll start releasing their games DRM-free.

I'm waiting for Vulkan update. Current version is barely playable (except on min settings).

Two Worlds II RPG delayed for Linux

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLSure, but GRACE engine from Two Worlds 2 is not a new engine - it's legacy.
The original one is, but didn't they make an enhanced edition or something? I'm sure though, they would have used 64-bit if they could do it easily.

Only legacy engines might be locked into 32-bit. When making new engines today, there is absolutely no reason not to make it for 64-bit.

For example Beamdog for a long time were using 32-bit engine, inheriting various bits all the way from Infinity one. Only now they finished reworking their games to be 64-bit.

Quoting: lucinosI can not understand why so many developers do that elementary mistake on linux. On linux developers should only support 64bit.
They made that mistake on Windows, and at the time when 32-bit Windows XP was still quite widespread. I suppose that's the reason. So I guess they just didn't rewrite the engine to support 64-bit proper.

Why?
That can be your distro's mess. Try installing them from WineHQ repos.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWhat is the difference between WineHQ-Staging and Wine-Staging?
both are on my Ubuntu software center
I think one installs in /opt, while other installs similarly to system Wine. You can download the packages and look inside without installing to see for yourself.
