Alien: Isolation is a terrific horror game, and a franchise I get extremely excited for. Alien: Isolation is also one of the few "Alien" based games that wasn't a let down.

I actually played it on PS4, but I got rid of my copy quite a while ago and never finished it. Honestly, I found it far too scary (that's a good thing). It really does deliver, and it looks like it will come to Linux.

As always, this isn't an official confirmation, but good supporting evidence towards a port!

About the game (Official)
HOW WILL YOU SURVIVE?

Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien™, Ellen Ripley’s daughter, Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother's disappearance.

As Amanda, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien.

Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.

Check out Alien: Isolation on Steam, but don't you dare buy it until the Linux version is out. Don't let yourself be disappointed if it turns out not to be true. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: skryWeren't those sales calculated from the platform of purchase? Anyway, I'll defend and make peace with myself by promising I'll buy another copy if the Linux version ever appears :)

As far as we know, porting houses get paid for the purchases made for the target platform *after* the port has been released. Not before that. It would be slightly different if it was an in-house port, in which case the right people would get the money. But since, based on the recent Feral teaser, Alien: Isolation is being handled by a third party you'd end up depriving them of the money they rightfully deserve if you are buying the game for the Linux port.

Dammit, what an awful system but I guess it makes some sense in a capitalist way. It would be nice to have a confirmation if this is indeed the case. Anyway, double buy it is then.

You could just ask for a refund as the game doesn't work on your system (yet). No need to buy twice, unless you absolutely want to.
