Quoting: sigzthere was a time we got one or two AAA titles on a year.. Looks like proton is a thing there is no more heavy ports (Did feral gave up too ?)
I think their speed decreased, but Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be ported by them.

Quoting: sigzthere was a time we got one or two AAA titles on a year.. Looks like proton is a thing there is no more heavy ports (Did feral gave up too ?)Both Feral and Aspyr slowed right down before Steam Play was a thing. As I said elsewhere on this, both only got involved due to Steam Machines/SteamOS and we're finally seeing the tail-end of it all after it went nowhere. Thankfully though, game engine support, drivers and all sorts are in such a better state.
Quoting: FredOMy theory: Feral is probably bringing the Tomb Raider trilogy to Stadia first, and then finally releasing SotTR on Linux afterwards. What other reason would they have to drag on the release a year after announcing it?
I asked Feral about Stadia and the Tomb Raiders. They could not say anything about if the Native Linux version will be used or that Stadia will use the Windows version through DXVK on Linux.
There are much more games releasing for Stadia, It would be wonderful if they all had a Native Linux version, Imagine playing Cyberpunk native on Linux :O
@Liam,
Log Jammers, Resolutiion, War Selection, Lamentum, Disobedient Sheep, Cathedral, Space Grunts 2, Dead Pixels 2, Adventures of Chris, Electro Ride, Zap Blastum, Keyboard Sports, will all release in 2019, According to Steam
Fractalis is listed for Late 2019 early 2020, So not sure if it belongs here

My theory is still that Shadow of the Tomb Raider will get a kind-of GOTY version soon and that Feral will base the Linux version on that one. Though I'm not so sure anymore since there is also a "croft" edition which seems a bit like a GOTY edition.

I remember somebody writing here that we'd be surprised what Google made running/will make run natively under Linux. (Really should have saved a link...) That doesn't mean though that we'll get it for our machines.
See more from me
