Quoting: lqe5433What about Metro Exodus or cuphead or Darksiders Genesis or any more Feral ports?
Is Cuphead supposed to be heading to Linux? I don't think I've heard anything about that, except for the Linux version made for Tesla cars.

Not sure why either were mentioned, neither have been said to be coming.
As for Feral ports, they appear to have transitioned quite a bit over to mobile and switch. Both Linux and macOS don't seem to be as big a focus for them recently. I still expect GRID is from them and we have Total War SAGA Troy confirmed by them.

Quoting: Liam DaweI sort of wondered (feared) that most of their Linux releases were always because it was fairly straight forward to do a macOS release alongside development of a Linux one. But with Apple making the platforms more different than they should be, it is no longer the case, and with out the Apple ports, they don't work on the Linux ones either?Quoting: fleskCuphead?

To be fair though, the Switch IS Linux, just not x86... would be sad if we lost Feral, but clearly they need to go where the money is at.

We sure about that? I always thought it was based on nvidia's tegra X1 chip, and directly used Linux. Was not aware FreeBSD had tegra support. Though I guess that makes sense, as the binary is very similar across all three (Windows, Linux, BSD).
