PayPalFeral 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!
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:

Quoting: doomiebabyQuoting: MaCroX95The Witcher 3
LEGO Titles
GTA V
Shadow of War
Also forgot the LEGO series. My sisters are no longer children, but one has child, and they both use and love linux. They recently talked to me about getting the old LSW2 to work, but had issues with DRM and wine, and so we couldn't even see if the performance was decent enough. I think some proper ports would sell well.
I'm definitely the first one who would buy ALL the LEGO titles if they ever came to Linux, those games are incredibly enjoyable.

Quoting: PixelPiNot everyone is willing or even able to use Wine to play games.QuoteSo far it seems Doom, Bioshock and The Witcher 3 are popular choices.
I would appreciate if we would not talk all the time about games that are out of the question or simply do not make sense. Doom, for example, runs under Wine better than any Feral port. Anyone who wants it has already bought it. Feral would not make money and Linux as a gaming platform would not be more attractive either.
The game that is most lacking is GTA V. Countless people do not switch to Linux because of GTA.
Personally I would like Elite: Dangerous for Linux. But actually not as a Port but directly from Frontier. So I bought a PlayStation 4 for the time being.

I don't like using wine, i haven't bought a single windows game in about 6 years now. If you count wine compatibility as "ports" then they might as well not part any games to gnu at all...
Also i don't think referring to certain games as "impossible" therefore bad to mention is not very useful, i think Feral will know better, if they decide to look at this wishlist (or any list) at all.
I would also add Super Mario Maker to my list as well.

I dont think GTA is the reason people are not on linux its a big game but its not the biggest reason given more people play COD/BF/Madden/Fifa than GTA

I get that point of view I personally do use wine but mainly for dx9 games which i know work perfectly but yeah if any of them came to linux i would purchase a copy just to make sure feral market presence increases. The more visible they are to publishers the better at the minute

Quoting: GuestQuoting: Whitewolfe80Quoting: GuestQuoting: Whitewolfe80Quoting: UnshraFor me, it's the very improbable three Skyrim, Witcher 3 and Doom.
Out of all of those Witcher 3 is way way more likely
I think it's more likely for bethesda to make a deal with feral than with cd projekt red...
Really you think the guys that said we tried linux there is no market there are more likely than CD projekt red who publish linux games and actually promised witcher 3 at one point. Now studios changing their minds on port is nothing new to linux, barring a sudden switch to vulkan from the custom engine i admit its not likely but its at least more likely than Bethesda at least with Bethesda current board.
The only linux game cd projekt red has published was witcher 2 and they lied about the witcher 3 port. Bethesda is going for vulkan and they may change their mind. Also, it's about feral porting stuff and they need to make a deal with the publisher. cd projekt red don't care about the linux community and never really cared.
No go on GOG and look again way more than one game on there and they are all published by cd project red in fact they have published 2100 linux games so far and it is gog that make sure they run on linux and they are cd projekt red they may be a different department but they are still the same group

Says who? Id Software did Vulkan, But that's because Id has always used OpenGL instead of DX.

Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim. Would like to see the two new Sonic games this year ported. What else? Witcher 3?
Granted, I think Bethesda would sooner cease all operations rather than actually even consider seeing their stuff ported to Linux.
What game did Bethesda try before that was on Linux? As far as I know they've NEVER touched Linux.

Well for a long time, GTA:V was the only game on Steam's top 10 that hadn't been released on Linux. Right now though there are a few more, but these games look like new releases, so it's hard to tell whether they will stay there.
I agree that there are many factors when people consider switching to Linux, but I think a game like GTA:V could be an important factor. A game like this on Linux also symbolizes that it is a strong platform.

Exile from 1988 on the BBC Micro! :P
In terms of size, features, physics engine and complexity compared to hardware it's run on its still the greatest, efficiently coded and playable computer game ever made.
