We could do with a decent Motocross game on Linux, something I'm itching to play, especially since the Linux port of MX Nitro never did happen.
However, something strange happened today with another port they claimed they were doing.
Virtual Programming also listed "A Hat in Time" [Official Site] as coming to Linux & Switch, see my screenshot below:
You can blame GNOME Screenshot for the funky colours, it has an annoying bug in the current version Ubuntu has.
The trouble is, I personally spoke with the developers of A Hat in Time, who've said they've never even heard of VP before. I asked VP in private, with no reply to me and then VP's website was updated quickly after with any mention of it removed. To be fair to VP, they haven't had a lot of time to reply, so I wouldn't say anything shady is going on at all.
It's possible VP have a deal with the publisher of A Hat in Time, Humble (who are doing Xbox and PS4) and it was put up too early. Even so, you would think the actual developers of A Hat in Time would know something about it. The developer said very clearly to me "We don't have any agreement for anything else and they aren't allowed to make those without us".
Awesome news about MXGP3, but this issue surrounding A Hat in Time is strange indeed. Hopefully the issue will become clear in time, but I don't see Virtual Programming putting something up that hasn't somehow been agreed on already. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

This hit me right in the feels. I was so excited when I saw that "A Hat in Time" was coming to Linux.

"A Hat in Time" seems to be a nice game.
I'm happy to see platforms games back, like Yooka-Laylee.
I hope they make the linux port soon.

Come on! This is too easy. Obviously, VP traveled into the future using Hat Kid's technology, secured the deal and then announced it in the past.
Regarding MXGP3, I hope it actually happens. MX vs. ATV Supercross Encore was also promised on Linux long ago but never happened.

If actually comes to Linux its a certain buy, a long time has passed since I played a motocross game.

So, they plan to sell it boxed only and in just a tiny selection of countries? 'cause I don't see any other purchase options as of today.

Well the article didn't link to Steam, only to the official site, which in turn doesn't link to Steam, only to some boxed copy buy options. My bad (or is it? :P).

A Hat in Time would be awesome. Was looking forward to it. Shame if it wouldn't be ported to Linux.

It would be nice if this was upgraded to the newer UE4 so we can get native Vulkan support instead of the typical eON wrapper like in previous ports.

Developers of it clearly stated they're not planning Linux and MacOS versions on the Linux request thread in their Steam forum , which had 50+pages and they locked the thread.
