They plan to release Hitman for Linux on Thursday 16th of February, so be sure mark your calendars.
This is amazing, as we get Civilization VI from Aspyr Media, Hitman and then DiRT Rally both from Feral Interactive in the space of about a month. All three games I'm incredibly excited to see on Linux, as all of them big franchises for us to have to keep moving forward.
I told you this year was going to be good, so don't doubt me eh!
I'm nearly out of hard-drive space, I'm actually going to have to buy an new hard drive just for games, on Linux, insanity.
David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral InteractiveHitman is a franchise that has defined the stealth genre, and this game is very much a return to the series’ roots. It’s been a long wait to get a Hitman title onto Linux, but I can’t think of a better way than this to introduce the series to Linux gamers.
Feral have confirmed it will be an OpenGL title, so no Vulkan at launch. Of course, it's entirely possible they may update it in future to use Vulkan.
It will cost £39.99/$59.99/€49.99 for the whole season, but episodes can be purchased individually.
About the game
Become the master assassin in an intense spy-thriller story across a world of assassination.
Travel the world from France, Italy & Morocco to Thailand, USA & Japan to take out powerful, high-profile targets.
- Complete freedom of approach in expansive freeform classic HITMAN levels
- 100+ hours of gameplay will challenge the creativity of all assassins
- Create your own hits and compete with other assassins in Contracts mode Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: chrisqQuoting: EikeAbout the size of disks: I really wonder how many games you've installed simultaneously...! My games sit on my oldest SSD, 80 GB..
Even a single game nowadays can be 40gb, do you only have the games you're currently playing installed?
I've got installed a selection of games I'm playing or might play in near future:
3,9G CAYNE
3,5G Crookz
2,6G Day of the Tentacle Remastered
11G DiRT Showdown
9,7G Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition
2,8G Duke Grabowski, Mighty Swashbuckler
1,8G Infinifactory
855M Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
164M One Night Stand
1,9G PapoYo
4,3G rocketleague
2,7G Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun Demo
7,1G Silence
2,4G Steamroll
11G Tomb Raider
70M World of Goo
Most games do not take dozens of GB.
And don't get me started on counting how many hundreds of hours these might take...
Quoting: chrisqI have ALL games installed simultaneously (1000+), it's nice to be able to play anything without waiting for the install.
Aren't there lots of games you don't wont to play anymore, either because you didn't like them, or because you're just through with them (which might mean one or lots of playthroughs, depending on you and the game)?

So much Linux love, so less time sadly :D
But hey, why contemplate, there were times where we didn't have enough games for me to enjoy, these times are over forever now! What a time to be a Linux gamer :D

You can run DOOM in WINE almost perfectly with Vulkan enabled in steam launch options.

The problem is that would require putting money toward the Windows version. That, in turn, damages the Linux gaming ecosystem, albeit in a small way. But a lot of smaller things add up to much bigger things.

I know right. But that's not officially supported, not native, and means fucking around with wine running another Steam install..

Not a single release of those is available without Steam or DRM in general.
Or I have old information? Making my concurrent Linux-distribution to another closed system with dongled services? No thanks!

Quoting: throghNot a single release of those is available without Steam or DRM in general.All big releases go to Steam, that's basically a standard for PC gaming (apart from EA/Blizzard games). You either have to learn to live with it and accept some compromises, or stop complaining about it as it's likely not going to change.

One of the big releases lately has been reported to be not copy protected at all, while the Windows version had Denuvo. (Can't remember which game it was). Don't know about others. Or are you opposed to Steam as payment and download portal in the first place and don't care if there's actual DRM?

Facts about wrong standardization? Those false standards are only within this position because we as users accept them. I've learned to live with it: Just don't use Steam and from my point of view complaining or better criticism is the best way to do. ;)

Both: There is no further reason having a DRM-platform on a free, libre operating-system. Everything else is making just another clone of other well-known systems. But I think this talk should be done elsewhere!

Quoting: GuestI would also prefer if Feral and others (Aspyr, Croteam…) made DRM-free releases on DRM-free platforms, because with Steam a tiny change by Valve can mean I don’t have access to my games anymore. Tomb Raider stopped working here, but I have no idea if it’s because of a game update (that are impossible to prevent with Steam), a Steam client update, or a system update. And that’s only one game but if the Steam client completely stops working then it’s bye bye to hundreds of games I paid for.
The positive thing about Steam is I can get a refund if the game doesn’t work or I don’t like it…
Well, there are quite a few other positives with Steam. But I wholeheartedly agree with you - I prefer it when a game has DRM-free option as well as a Steam option.
Often when Humble Bundle sell games, (often Indie titles) they share a DRM-free download link for the game AS WELL AS a Steam key - the best of both worlds.
