Feral Interactive are having a big Easter sale

DiRT Rally now mine! :)

DiRT Rally now mine! :)

Cosigned.

20 quid for F1 2015 is still far too much. Sorry to say the poor sales figures are unsurprising.

You can get Dirt Rally right now for 12 bucks as one of the early unlocks in the next Humble Monthly.

I was very close to buying Dirt Rally a few days ago, so this Easter sale is a nice surprise! Though I feel a little bad for Feral not getting the full amount...

Unfortunately the game doesn't work with my PS4 controller, but it's fine with the PS3 controller (even if all button icons in-game are Xbox ones..). Also got a warning that my PC isn't up to snuff, but the game runs and looks nice.

I'll try to get DS4 working when I'm back home next week. I'm pretty sure Dirt Rally should be able to handle it.


While I wish I could easily buy all Feral games for full price, I went with the Humble Monthly this time. I don't even have time to finish all my Feral titles so I hope it's a better deal for buying them on sale then don't buy them at all. Still I bought some games from the Feral store in the past - some for full price.

Are you going to pick up any? Always nice to support the porter directly and they have ported quite a lot now for Linux gamers.

I was just about to buy a title. And I would like to support Feral as well ... but I have so many games that I have not yet played to the end that another new game would only be another corpse in my game collection. Unfortunately, I do not have as much time to play as I would like to have. But my family (we have triplets), my job (SAP programmer) and our house (has so some construction sites) leave for my hobby unfortunately not very much time left.

I have however in the last weeks and months Feral more or less supported. I am 100% on Linux since the beginning of the year and I bought Deus Ex: MD, Mad Max and Total War: Warhammer since this time.

Would rather not, I think Feral deserver ALL the money really.

Thank you for supporting Feral. But as this post was informing people of a sale, I do think it was prudent to inform our Linux siblings that it's part of a greater sale where it's cheaper and will net you more games. There are quite a few of us with budgets after all. ;)

This!

I am in weird moment of my life, where I want to support Linux gaming but I don't have a hardware that would allow me to play newest games on Linux.
I buy Linux games on sale even if I am 100% sure that I won't be able to play them in nearest future.

For almost 2 years I have a PS4 (bought to play Witcher 3) that is meant to play newest titles and 4,5 years old laptop that is meant to play Pillars of Eternity and some less resource-demanding Linux games.

Because I own PS4 I buy games for PS4 and Linux at the same time.
The weird thing is that DIRT, XCOM2, Tomb Raider (2013) and Mad Max I have on PS4 (On Linux as well except Mad Max) and all of this titles I bought at this or lower price on PS4 few months ago.
The only game that I bought for much more is Shadow of Mordor (which I have on Linux as well).

What I'm saying is that it is weird, that PC hardware is more expensive and PC games are getting to the price of console games.

I want Linux gaming to succeed, but I need to pray for Valve to do new push for Steam OS with some insane deals like - pay 500 euro for gaming console, get 300 euro to spend on Steam.

Previous deals for Steam machines were pathetic - 349 euro for cheapest version with old GPU and you received Payday 2. At the same moment you could buy PS4 for the same price with Uncharted: Nathan Drake's Collection, DriveClub and Little Big Planet 3. And a store with all the newest games available.

Don't get me wrong - I admit that we need to pay full price for games for Linux gaming to succeed.

But it is impossible to convince end user that is interested only in gaming to choose Steam machine if it has:
- Higher price
- worse hardware
- worse title bundled
- worse gaming library available to purchase
- worse performance of the games
- AND IT DOES NOT HAVE CHEAPER GAMES

I suppose I'll have to swallow my principles for once and pay the excessive paypal tax to support Feral.

That's cool. I already have my favourite Feral games though.

In my case, I buy from lots of games companies. I'm doing my bit to pay for Linux gaming, supporting Feral and many others. I wasn't going to buy DiRT Rally at 50% off. However, as part of Humble Monthly subscription, with a selection of other titles - I'm willing to pay the subscription price.

What would you prefer:
- Feral getting zero from me, with me not buying a game that I am so-so about?
- Feral getting a smaller amount for DiRT Rally, as part of the Humble Monthly?

(It was a rhetorical question, pretty obvious what the answer is going to be!)


The comment earlier by "wojtek88" regarding Steam Machines - It does deviate from this Feral Big Easter Sale post - BUT it did strike a cord with me. I decided to follow up that comment by hunting out for Steam Machines sold in the UK (where I live). Here is my finding, and I think GOL should probably consider write a new article discussing it:

- There are very very few manufacturers selling Steam Machines.
- Of those few, the Steam Machines are pretty expensive - The typical price is ~ £1200.
- At that price, one could build a BETTER PC running SteamOS (or Linux). Or pay much less for similar spec.
