You have no excuse not to own Company of Heroes 2 now, Humble Bundle Company of Heroes bundle is live

Does it count as a Linux sale for Feral?

I have excuse - maybe I want to give Feral more money? (When I find time to play this game later.)

I'm curious. What would be the 4 others of your Top 5 ?

Even I love RTS i don't like the setting. I do already own the game. Anyway, I would play Warhammer now if there only would be people playing it. Feral? Cross-Platform?!

Only Relic Entertainment and SEGA are shown as publisher on the game info when you click on them in that bundle.
So I am not sure Feral gets something from that sale even if they get counted as Linux sales.

I would love an updated article on GOL regarding buying Linux games on different shops, and when they get counted as Linux sales, and when the porter companies with their own publishing like Feral in this case get a cut of the sale.

Multiplayer note: The online multiplayer is Linux->Linux only, no cross-platform multiplayer.

To get this out of the way first: The FPS isn’t the best

Generally in the heat of combat it hovers at just above 30FPS

It's also highly advisable to quit the game and reload it when changing any graphical options. Or else you will get weird results and performance.

And now suddenly

Did all of that change or are you just again shilling for Feral?

Despite all those shortcomings, including some that aren't quoted above, I just LOVE this game.
Too many people are overreacting about Feral's port performances, I'm running a poor old GTX 660 and I max out most of the games they release with a pretty decent framerate.

The list above that were *reasons* not to own CoH2, not excuses! :P

All of those problems are technical. I doubt Liam would play the game so much if he hated it.

I have an excuse not to own CoH2 though: I don't like RTS games.

To address the troll post head-on. The game does still have some performance issues, but I enjoy a great many games that have performance related issues.

I have put 40+ hours into Company of Heroes 2 (anyone can see on my Steam profile), I also play weekly against Matt from Feral and others from the wider community often. Would I do that if I didn't love the game? No I damn well wouldn't, plenty better things to do with my time than play a game I didn't like. I get paid by my supporters on Patreon, not by any company to "shill" for them. Anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't know me well at all. If you think I am truly a Feral shill, why would I have said Tomb Raider performance was "Horrific" at one point in a livestream in front of many people (that was before the TR performance patch mind you).

I'm guessing the troll missed the article in January where I wrote about the performance patch they released that actually improved the performance of CoH2? It's all well and good quoting me, but try more recent quotes? Here's the more recent official quote from me directly about COH2 performance:

As you can see, the performance is much better now for me, so I’m actually quite a bit happier.

As for this:

That was meant in regards to the price considering it's dirt cheap, in a bundle and what the entire article was about, I thought that was kind of obvious how I meant it.

This is a killer bundle!
I already own them all so I'm passing this time.
It's also a great occasion for anyone who doesn't have too much money and can't buy them full price, the guys at Feral will surely be happy if their games are played, anyway I hope they get a cut!

COH 1 runs great on Wine, and for 1€ it would be a crime to miss it!

I do. It does not run well on my setup (I7 with 770 GTX and 8 GB RAM, stuttering, frame drops etc.).

And ye, I own it anyway, but I can't enjoy playing it.

This.

I'm always reluctant to buy though 3rd party sites because of this, sure you save a few bucks - but your purchase may well count against future Linux ports :|

Another worthless Steam-DRM "bundle". Truly, Humble Inc. had fallen too low. Just another Steam lackey.

On top of that: I'm Russian so... COH2... singleplayer campaign... How did they called thier "hero" "Abramovich Isacovich"? "All of those corpses... for a photograph!"

Yep, I have plenty of excuses not to give those "developers" a single cent.

It is a great bundle (price has risen quite some now however) but my computer probably wont run it very well. And yeah, WW2 games that glory in the suffering of soldiers, I can't stomach it.

I already had bits of the bundle but I bought it anyway to finish the set & to thank Feral for their hard work.

My reason I'm uninterested: I'm rubbish at RTS, and they feel more like work than games, to me.

This.

Humble does take note of the platform. In fact, it draws a graph for how much each platform contributed. Whether that translates to a proper cut for Feral is something only they can answer. It'd be pretty strange if it didn't though.

It doesn't look like it.

As has already been noted the under "Choose where your money goes" for this bundle the only publisher listed is Sega.

That is a bit disappointing as the page for COH2 on Humble Store lists Feral as one of the two developers and publishers.

Unless we're told otherwise by either Humble or Feral I'll be avoiding this.

I spoke to Feral, they said it should support them buying it here. So you shouldn't worry too much.

I do. It does not run well on my setup (I7 with 770 GTX and 8 GB RAM, stuttering, frame drops etc.).

I have the same setup, same issues :(
