Feral Interactive are wanting to know what games you want ported to Linux, hopefully taking your requests into real consideration.
See their Tweet below:
Denizens of Linux! Feed #THEREQUESTINATOR so our engineers can see all your requests in one place. Use the tag and you will be processed! pic.twitter.com/OHM6UWHPNN

They also asked on Facebook and Reddit.
It will be interesting to see if any of the user requests actually get ported. I am always sceptical of things like this, as it's essentially a hype machine for Feral and it doesn't necessarily mean anything will get ported as a result of requests there. Just keep that in mind when wildly requesting ports. Even so, it's a bit of fun and I am excited to see what Feral bring out over the rest of the year and beyond.
I've seen people constantly ask Feral about porting BioShock Remastered to Linux previous to this, but each request is met with the usual "we have nothing to share" type of reply. Considering it's a popular pick, I hope they look into that one. I would certainly appreciate BioShock Remastered on Linux!
So far it seems Doom, Bioshock and The Witcher 3 are popular choices.
What would you like to see?
Would have written this up four hours ago when I replied to their tweet, but updating some of the site code seemed to make time vanish!

Well its more a question of WHAT GAMES CAN THEY PORT.
BUT given that Bethesda has Vulkan render setup with the Switch version of Skyrim (SE) then I would say make SkyrimSE and Fallout4 available. Next would be Witcher3 or/and GTA5, but allot of these bigger companies are HOSTILE to the idea of Linux (have in the past), no idea why, they just are.
Unlikely List: (Dev hates Linux)
Skyrim SE
Fallout 4
Witcher 3 (no GOG Galaxy, backed out of W3 for Linux)
GTA5
Mass Effect Andromeda
Likely List: (Dev may be open to Linux)
Empyrion - Galactic Survival
Rise of the Tomb Raider
DOOM (ID, easy port)
RAGE (ID, easy port)
Med Of War Assault Squad 2
Carmageddon Max Damage (sure why not)
Galactic Civ III
Legend of Grimrock 2 (first one was)
RISEN 3 Titan Lords
That is some on my list there are some upcoming games also but will wait until release, I would even be open to paying a additional fee on top (not full price again please) to get the Linux version of these games!

Yeah I know, Bethesda has a bit of a cold war going on with Linux, they don't acknowledge it and seem to avoid hiring anyone with Linux experience (last time I heard nobody in their office has linux installed anywhere...)

Yeah unless something drastic happens like a big spike in Linux market share or a complete change at boardroom level. The odd thing is it wa the guy that ported to Linux back in the day that is putting the boot in the most saying no we tried there is just no market there. I will give them that it was true back in early 00's when they first tried but things have changed.

The games I personally would love to see on Linux are:
The Witcher 3 (Hurray, The Witcher 2 is on Linux)
Shadow Warrior 2 (noting that this one was promised to Linux community, and hasn't been delivered yet)
Skyrim
Doom
Legend of Grimrock 2 (Hurray, LoG 1 is on Linux)
Then there are others which I'd still jump on, but not quite as desperately:
Fallout 4
Rise of the Tomb Raider (Hurray, Tomb Raider is on Linux)
Dragon Age: "any"
Divinity: Original Sin 2 (Hurray, Divinity: Original Sin 1 is on Linux)
Watch Dogs 2
GTA V
Redout: Enhanced Edition
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout 3
Bayonetta
Witcher 1
Dragon's Dogma
Nier Automata
Battlefield 1
Shadow of War
Dishonored I and II
And then there are things which might not come toPC Windows:
Horizon Zero Dawn
EDIT: Some of these are on GOG, as well as Steam. Also I'd suggest favouring any game where Vulkan can be used as the graphics engine, because that helps the Framerate compete with Windows releases.

Witcher 3, because it's the only one that would ever make it to GOG.
