Slightly sad news today, as the amazing looking Observer [Steam, Official Site] from Bloober Team & Aspyr Media has a release date announcement, but it doesn't include Linux.

On August 15th the game will release for Windows and consoles, but there's now no Linux date set. To be clear, the Linux version hasn't been dropped, but it seems it will see a delayed release. Aspyr Media should be reaching out to us when it gets closer to releasing on Linux.
I'm really looking forward to it, so not having it day-1 is a bit of a let-down for me, but hopefully this is to ensure the Linux version is solid.
About the game
QuoteThe year is 2084. If you somehow survived the Nanophage, odds are you were killed in the War. Those who live have turned to drugs, VR, neural implants— anything to distract themselves from this new reality. You are Daniel Lazarski, an elite neural detective known as an Observer, and part of a corporate-funded police unit whose purpose is to hack and invade suspects’ minds. In this future, anything you think, feel, or remember can be used against you in a court of law.

Quoting: PompesdeskyPersonnaly I don't think developers should always let everyone know what exact problems they are facing, it's nice to know but in fact it's none of our business. Maybe that's a trivial issue and they would get a backlash by being too open or who knows what.Some developers who have told the Linux community what the problems are they've faced have been handed the solutions by the community, but at the end of the day it is up to the developers whether they tell us what the problem is or not.
To me it's nice that they're already telling there'll be "some" delay. And then again I'm not going angry at once at a developer because the game is not on Linux day 1. Of course that'd be nice as well, but as long as we're not talking months after a Windows release I find that totally acceptable.

Meeh, I got a discount coupon for observer, 20% off. But no tux no bucks. If this is released for linux, I want to spend the bucks on the right person. Meeh, no coupon it is.

Aspyr did confirm on Steam that it was still coming. They also said that if you want to use the coupon, you'd have to do it now, suggesting the Linux version won't be there within the two weeks it is valid.
