The Latest Feral Interactive Newsletter Was Rather Interesting

I disagree with their last point. There are over 1000 games on Linux and that's only Steam. I mean, I do enjoy gaming but I don't have the time to play all of those, nor am I interested.

I know it wasn't meant seriously, but still. I was kind of shocked when I saw that there are 1153 titles on sale on steam and these are just the ones available on Linux. (Which I find nice btw. Friend of mine was surfing on Windows and there it were ~6000 games or so. Sure, many smaller indie games, but still plenty! :))

What has been your favorite game from Feral on Linux?

As I remember there was only two games from feral on Linux. I own bought but only played X-Com so for now X-Com :D

Awesome! Also the last "serendipity" point is very true. There's so many games in my library (the vast majority actually) which I just wouldn't have bought if I wasn't a Linux user and so many of them have turned out to be amazingly good :).

Nice!

Hopefully they'll make a port of Hitman: Absolution (or the upcoming Hitman, if it's not native from the beginning.. I doubt that though). Also considering they ported Empire: Total War, which is so cool, it would be even more cool if Rome 2: Total War was ported soon. Remember a year ago, when rumors said that Rome 2: Total War was in development for Linux. I still hope it wasn't a false rumor...

Well, I quite agree with them, in fact. A restrictive catalogue won't mean you will have enough time to try every interesting game released on the platform, it means that your criteria for buying a game or not will be loosened.

That's including things like software, DLC and soundtracks though. If you filter by just games, you have 857 Linux games on Steam at the moment. That's of a total of 4,290 games, which is almost exactly one fifth of the games on Steam. I remember commenting on the ratio earlier this year when it was 1:6, so it has improved dramatically over the last few months either way.

Feral's current offerings on Linux unfortunately don't interest me much. I got Empire: Total War as a "thank you" for supporting Linux when they brought that over though, and they've been teasing LEGO games a whole lot, which is a franchise I'd buy pretty much anything from, given the chance.

So far I like none of their Linux ported games. Yes, they are great titles and worth porting but personally my patience with Feral is wearing thin.
I bought both games although I know I will probably never play them, just as a sign of support for their work.
But if the third game will be also a strategy game, that would be too much for me, and I'll pass paying for that one too.
Give me Borderlands, Bioshock or something similar for a change.

I have both of the Feral Linux ports that have appeared so far, Total War is the one I'll play for days at a time, but I like the X-com games as well.

I don't know who is porting it but I just purchased Bioshock Infinite on Steam and it showed up in my Linux games library. I haven't tried to install it yet though.

I'm pretty sure Bioshock is a Feral port, it downloads the data but the executable is missing, expected to be released next month ish. Sorry my brain fell out earlier, Aspyr worked on the Mac port of Bioshock Infinite so it might be them doing it not Feral.
