This is starting to be a repeating joke now, of promise after promise and delay after delay. Now with the Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition that was supposed to be a day-1 release for Linux, it has also been delayed.
QuoteDivinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition will be out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on October 27. Mac and Linux will be right on their tail, arriving at the beginning of December as we finalise the ports. We know it's been quite a wait, but it'll be worth it!
You can see their Kickstarter update here for the full info.
I always try to be positive (despite what some commenters think), but it's hard to remain positive when every time they state something positive, we get slammed down with another delay. I really hope it's worth it when it arrives, and since I didn't personally pay a single penny towards it yet I won't really have any "hard feelings" when it's release, but I imagine whoever backed it just for Linux will not be amused.
You can see a video below where they do a comparison from old to new:

I am so very glad I stopped Kickstarting Linux games a long time ago. Far, far too many broken promises.
Thanks for sending it in, shivoc.

This is hilarious. Over a month extra wait for Linux and Mac OS users despite these platforms being a part of the crowdfunding campaign from over 2 years ago, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were not even mentioned back then, but are now coming out before the Linux and Mac OS clients. Amazing work, Larian.

They shouldn't complain about low sellings on Mac and Linux in the end.

It could be released just before or during the Steam Winter sale, at least we can buy it discounted...

not really surprised after the previous delays, but wtf!
yeah why not wait even longer after having backed the game initially...
I'm glad I didn't back part2 and won't back any other game projects anymore.
getting angry (again) and I do my best to not like the game having paid for on
Apr 10th 2013 with proposed estimated delivery in Nov 2013
(in case I will ever see it)...

What a shocking turn of events!
Seriously, screw these guys. They have zero integrity and don't deserve our money or our support.

It's not unrealistic that by now the dog of a sub-sub-sub-contractor is in charge for the port.
So don't hold your breath.

Can't say I'm surprised; on the contrary, I would have been surprised if they had actually released a working Linux version on the 27th. Broken promises seem to have become the default for Larian on Linux.

I can't wait for it to finally be out so that I never have to hear about it again.

yep, my dumbest moment in the past 10 or so years was forking out money to this game on kickstarter. just because they promise a Linux version doesn't always constitute they actually will. the only way I'll do kickstarter again is if the company is a well known good developer of Linux games already.
Better late than never though, maybe one of these years I'll actually get to play this game.

Fuck this devs. I will download from torrents.Wrong attitude. If you have any interest in the game, even after all of the bullshit, then you need to buy it. Stealing it doesn't make you any better than the developers. There are actually a number of excellent RPGs available for Linux these days, so why not simply buy one of those instead?

Sad (but even more sadly, expected) news :(
As a dogsperson I have to step in here now. Actually (my) dogs are very reliable. If I say sit, they sit... or they look cute. Either way, I am happy!

Barring any serious unforseen circumstances, of course. Like having a bad weekend or feeling a bit down one day. That could push porting back by a year or two.

Doggies are not famous for their Linux porting expertise though. Cats on the other hand...It's not unrealistic that by now the dog of a sub-sub-sub-contractor is in charge for the port.

Come on you can't be serious!
With Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Pillars of Eternity, Sword Coast Legends, Wasteland 2 and many other great RPGs - that have been already able to actually release the damn port they promised - around the corner, do you think you have the legitimacy to even SELL this game to us?
Pathetic.

I know right? As someone who has no interest in the title it is rather irritating to constantly see "Durr hurr Divinity Origami Shin NEW ANNOUNCEMENT this hour!" plastered between all of the interesting posts.
