Well this is confusing and aggravating, it seems the Linux version of Project Cars is officially never going to happen.
@gamingonlinux There are no plans for a Linux version right now.

I pointed out a link on their own website that is still up here:
QuoteFurthermore, Project CARS will also be coming to Valve’s Steam OS, extending an existing partnership with Steam that has already allowed tens of thousands of WMD members the ability to download and play builds of the game during its development and allow specific multiplayer and social features that are only possible using this unique platform.
No reply on that yet, but I will update this if we get anything back as it was only recently sent to them.
Sadly, it's another game to join the growing list of games that promised a Linux/SteamOS version to drop support at some point without telling anyone. I've tried to get in touch with the developer numerous times. It's pleasing to get closure, but it took a long time to get it out of them.
They did at least stop taking any funding way before announcing SteamOS support, so if you purchased it once it released when there was still no sign of their previously promised support, well, you probably know by now not to pre-order.
So much talking about this, even the successor project-cars-2 promises linux support...and now this? "there are no plans"? wtf?
More honesty would be nice, more text, replies, an excuse or at least some reason would be nicer to read than this short reply without regrets what so ever. a shame it is, nothing more. no bux for these devs from my side. seems they have enough though.
Quoting: miroI was really waiting for this, I even added it to my wishlist to get notified as soon as it is released.

Maybe the reason is "we are to busy getting in bed with bill gates and M$"
Simple, I am not buying it.
Remember the name "Slightly Mad Studios", people, remember it and remember to never support them ever....
But there are no plans for GNU/Linux. I don't understand the logic of these guys, but probably they lie more than talk
Pourin' one out for the homies...
(sorry about the dishes :B)
Witcher 3, Project Cars, Batman, Street Fighter 5 (?) (if we take only AAA games)...

I mean, I don't want to get people's hopes up, but it does seem super strange that they would leave that paragraph up on their site.
See more from me
