Feral Interactive, the porting studio behind a lot of great games available on Linux are asking for some feedback again on where they should go next.
In the past, they've teased how they feed port requests into "THE REQUESTINATOR". Looks like my number three from when they asked in November 2018 turned out okay with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. As always though, we want additional ports to buy and more varied titles to play through.
On Twitter today they posted this:
What game would you like to be ported to macOS, Linux or mobile platforms in 2020, and why?
Is there a game in dire need of porting? Let us know why it’d be perfect on your favourite platform and your answer could feature in our next newsletter: https://feralinteractive.com/xx/register/
Feral have already ported a ton of games to Linux including Alien Isolation, Life Is Strange, Before the Storm, Life is Strange 2, Mad Max, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS (and many other Total War titles), XCOM and XCOM 2 plus more. Their work is great, especially now they're all-in with Vulkan the performance is great too so more would be thoroughly welcome.
How about you mention your top three most wanted Linux ports in the comments? I'll start:
- MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD
- DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT
- Borderlands 3
Right now, those three would be seriously good to have properly supported on Linux. As for the why? Well, 1+3 are already massively popular games and with Borderlands 3 coming to Steam this year, it would be a nice surprise. As for Dragon Ball, I'm a huge fan of it and having such a game ported and supported on Linux would be a huge boon.

I don't think CDPR need development help with CP2077. They are already releasing it for Stadia, so if they'll decide to make a proper Linux release, they could do it themselves.
If someone like Feral could off-load Linux support costs, it could be useful still, but then they should be ready to release it on GOG. And until now they didn't want to work with it.

2. Any of the more recent Final Fantasy games
3. Um...Skyrim, I guess.
Quoting: GuestThat and CD Projekt Red release their games DRM free and feral don't do no-DRM i think.
If I understand correctly, the way Feral usually work, they do the porting, and arrange to get profits only from Linux downloads.
In case of CP2077, there won't be much porting to do after Stadia work. And whether CDPR will agree to share profits in exchange for on-going support, remains to be seen. And as I said, even if they do, Feral should be ready to deal with Linux version sold on GOG.
