We have been waiting too long for this to come, but Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition has been shown off on twitter for Linux.
I'm still not very amused by how long it has taken them, but if they deliver it on the same day the upgraded Windows & Mac versions are due like they claim they will, then maybe we can put it behind us.
They will be Kickstarting Divinity: Original Sin 2 this month, and I hope people have learnt a lesson here. If you Kickstart anything, prepare to wait, and prepare for Linux delays. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
Hope this will put some of our Linux players fears to rest. It exists and it's not that far in the future anymore! pic.twitter.com/2LRN3Lk7s4

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:

I know this attitude is not right but I hope this studio will fail. They lied to people who paid for this game on Kickstarter and they never stopped to lie. This game was meant to be released "just after Mac version". Mac version had day one release, Divinity Original Sin is not on Linux over 15 months after release on Mac.
I really admire honesty and clear rules. They do not provide it. Sorry for such a comment here, but this is how I feel regarding this studio.
I'm not saying that I will never buy this game, but I do not feel like buying this game will support Linux gaming so I will get it on some cheap sale.

Just treat Kickstarter and early access as scams, and things will make more sense.

Stop being an idiot. They didn't lie about anything. They underestimated how much work the Linux version was going to be. Everybody who donated for the Linux version can still ask for a refund.

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyStop being an idiot.@BillNyeTheBlackGuy One step too far - I didn't offend you, so you shouldn't do it either. I have my opinion - I just said it. If you don't like - comment my opinion. But never offend someone.
Anyway I will reply to your comment where you're saying something that makes sence:

I think this is just sad that they did this kind of trick. And I don't think it was "underestimation". It was super low priority and lying just to our faces and laughing during this lies.

It looks like we do have to push them quite a bit for more information, but they are willing to respond. I asked for this confirmation of proof several hours ago here and Swen honored it with that Twitter post.
Yes, we've waited absurdly long, but it looks like they really are trying to fulfill that promise now. While I am wary of the 2nd kickstarter still, at the very least Larian took one step forward today in proving to us their efforts.

I pledge in the kickstarter. I am not upset as long as they deliver it eventually and it works decently. I can wait. However, I can't justify supporting another kickstarter with them unless I can play DOS or DOS2 has day one or few months promised Linux client.
