Feral Interactive are up to their usual teasing once again. They've announced F1 2017 is coming to Mac, but they're also directly requesting to see demand for it on Linux.
See their Tweet:
Should Linux re-join our FORMULA ONE team with F1 2017? It won’t be this month if they do, but show us there's demand! #THEREQUESTINATOR pic.twitter.com/MLuN2IJAyv

I believe this is the first time they've ever asked the Linux community about demand for a specific game. The interesting thing really is their wording "It won’t be this month if they do" meaning there's a real chance.
Considering they previously ported F1 2015 to Linux and said F1 2016 won't be ported as sales of F1 2015 weren't strong enough, maybe they're going to test the waters once again? I imagine if F1 2017 is actually reviewed better, it would sell better.
Quoting: berillionsNo thanks, i prefer a good game, not this piece of shit.
After Total War games, F1 games ...
I feel pity for you if this is the only response you can come up with ...
I was a little put off with poor reviews on the one that was ported to Linux before.
Enough strategy crap, give us some action.
EDIT: I don't understand how I can participate on this. Do I need a twitter account? Is there something on steam?

Doom 2016
witcher 3 or so will be better choice to port to linux.
But if it comes out for linux and the reviews are good, then I would most likely purchase it during a sale.
So count me as a +0.25.
The port of 2015 was very bad (I bought it). It has very poor performance with my rx480 compared to windows performance. A port with vulkan would be my favorite linux game.
Please port it. I'm gonna buy it when it is released.
Assetto Corsa as a port would be fantastic... but I'd be only bying DLCs then as I already own it... don't know if some of the money then would get to Feral... but I'd be comfortable with a Linux-Engine-DLC and would be paying for it... maybe that's something to be evaluated (yes, it's not common at the moment, but why not give it a try? maybe (hopefully) the response is much better than those guys comments who want everything for free)....
