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.

2 - Remnant: From the Ashes
3 - PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (I don't want to play, but would be great to get more Linux users)
2. Monster Hunter: World
3. Halo: Master Chief collection
Bonus:
4. Hearthstone (I know it's tricky)
5. Guild Wars 2
6. Outer Worlds

1) F1 2019
2) Devil May Cry 5
3) Sekiro
But would also be nice:
4) Resident Evil 2
5) Control
6) Subnautica
7) Batman: Arkham Knight
8) Witcher 3
The most important thing to me here is that it's another good sign for Linux ports that they are asking.
Quoting: EikeI really wonder why they didn't bring any Lego game to us penguins.
Most propably it's because of a shitty publisher called WB Games. After such a long time porting games to Linux Feral would port at least one Lego game if it was up to them. Well, never say never...
Quoting: BielFPsI hope they actually listen to the games being asked here (or at least give us a feedback about why not) instead just being silent and release another Total War...
They once said that yes, they are reading through the proposals (probably also here, but not sure about that).
But after that, they're silently doing what's possible or financially attractive, of course. To the best of my knowledge, they never said anything about a why not, though, and I guess that's the best way for them to handle it.

I know, my point is: I think is pretty useless asking people to say games that the company would never port (like people here asking for Jedi Fallen Order or Skyrim, which is a big NO based on the companies that published it)
They should at least say something like "This are the companies who would let us porting their games, which of their games you would be interesting to see a port?"
Unless they're using those comments to later send to their publishers as a incentive to let them partnership with Feral, but sadly I wouldn't think it would be effective.
Either way, I personally just hope they gave us a feedback later instead of been in "Total Silence"
