Feral Interactive are wanting to know what games you want ported to Linux, hopefully taking your requests into real consideration.

See their Tweet below:

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!

Obviously Skyrim, but I'd like to actually see a Linux client for Wildstar since someone mentioned PvE MMOs. Maybe one (or more) of the Tales Of games or the remakes of the Final Fantasy series like FF X and VII. Some of the Batman games and maybe the first two Bioshocks would be great. I hear the Dragon Age games are good, so they'd be a fine addition to the Linux catalogue.

Hey, and I'll be a heretic here and suggest No Man's Sky.

Add Skyrim and Doom to your I have a dream cat i think given Bethesda no way fuck you attitude to Linux. Dirt 4 will be VP as have the last couple of dirt games and it appears VP are working on Arma 3 for linux currently at least according to their website.

Skyrim and Doom are Really easy ports for Linux

Indeed, is more unlikely Skyrim for Switch than Skirim for Linux. but here we are.

Skyrim and Doom for Linux is matter of time. Bateshda's only problem is the old manager/CEO who does not know about tecnology, much less about the future of video games.

In a few months or years, when the Debug of Life cuts off the heads of Bathesda executives, we'll have our Skyrim and DOOM on Linux.

I just noticed an interesting development. On the Feral radar "West Norwood" and "XCOM2 War of the Chosen" split into two dots. But "West Norwood" Linux was left in "Soon" while the rest, including the mac version, moved into "very soon".

Perhaps if Feral went to Bethesda and said, 'hey we will make the Skyrim/Fallout ports happen with no cost to you, and you'd still make %% profit from sales you would otherwise not have got', THEN maybe Bethesda would listen, but if Feral go asking for money to make a port then they will get a literal sword in the gut from certain developers.

I keep forgetting I have an account now, so I can join in the fun...

Witcher 3
Fallout 4
Elite: Dangerous (Seriously, the original has been unshakeable from the top of my “greatest games of all time” list since 1984. I am absolutely front and centre of their core market. But... no Linux version, no sale.)
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Dishonored 2
Assetto Corsa

GTAV and Skyrim would be nice if they helped people switch to Linux, but I've already played them to death on the Xbox 360. (Hmm. Modding, though... )

There's quite a few issues for Feral and monetizing a game port. One issue is the fact that there's a lot of Linux games out there already. So, whatever money Feral make is limited by that fact. Linux gamers spread their (finite) cash around what is available ( "lots" ).

Certainly, in my case, I pick up games that appeal to me that are released on Linux. But if a particular one that I like is not available (e.g. Witcher 3), then I spend my cash on another (Linux) game instead. There is so much out on Linux to keep me entertained. It'll be years before I finish playing what is in my collection already, not to mention titles which are highly replayable.

I've dropped over 150 hours into FTL and 280 hours into 7 Days To Die for instance, heh. Mad Max ~ about 80 hours, Dying Light ~ about 130 hours, Serious Sam 3 ~ about 70 hours.
