Is it me or is the DLC missing?
I own the complete collection (happily played it under Wine earlier) but it seems like the DLC is simply not there. The "View Downloadable Content" option isn't there on the steam library menu, and the ingame DLC menu is entirely empty.
It makes the store page "Linux support" icons on all the DLC a bit misleading.
I suppose it's not a big issue and will probably be quickly fixed, but it's still kinda inconvenient (I was still really hoping to play :p)

Holy ****!!!
I had an inkling feeling they would release after the sale is over, but they didn't :O
I am not dual-booting for a long time so had no chance to try it. Insta-buy.

Quoting: SslaxxQuoting: Anonymous"...and future AAA games..."I wonder if this means just Firaxis, or Take2 as a whole... GTAV on Linux, anyone?
Take Two is running 2K Games and Rockstar as two vastly different/independent branches and Firaxis has a lot of autonomy within 2K as well. So I certainly wouldn't extrapolate from 2K to Rockstar at all. Take DRM as an example. 2K typically uses Steamworks/CEG as its only DRM while Rockstar has up to several layers of DRM that each, on their own are much more draconian than CEG. Rockstar wouldn't even divulge how high the activation limit for Max Payne 3 is. AFAIK Rockstar has no real tradition for bringing their games to Mac while 2K Games does. Just some of the differences. I have basically 0 hope for any Rockstar game coming to Linux. But I am boycotting them any way due to DRM.

Hopefully this means we will see the new Borderlands Prequel as well. Fingers crossed!
