Have to hand it to the folks over at Jackbox Games, they're certainly putting in the effort here. They now officially support Linux with all their Party Pack games and more.
Firstly, as a reminder, since late 2017 they've been rolling out beta versions of their games. None of them were advertised and they did this quietly to gather feedback while having a chat with us over emails. Starting with The Jackbox Party Pack 4 in December 2017 and then later doing the same for more and so on.
The Jackbox Party Pack 5 actually released with Linux support back in October last year, which was awesome to see and shows how serious they are.
So now we have these titles officially supported on Linux as of yesterday:
- The Jackbox Party Pack
- The Jackbox Party Pack 2
- The Jackbox Party Pack 3
- The Jackbox Party Pack 4
- The Jackbox Party Pack 5
- Drawful 2
- Fibbage XL
- Quiplash
Good stuff! Hopefully this trend will continue now they've got most issues ironed out. What's also really nice (and shows their commitment) is that they actually dropped Adobe AIR in favour of a native engine as well.
Find their games on Humble Store and Steam.
Quoting: kuhpunktAnd now it's going to be the next free game on the Epic Store. What gives?
Looks like they're done catching the biggest chunk of their userbase and now they're trying to see if they can make some money off unexpected sources. If only the Epic Store gave out Steam keys, I would get it for free there, but since it doesn't (I think), I'd rather buy the game on Steam.
