Never heard of that game. I won't miss it either. I don't touch any MOBA game, as that genre consistently seems to attract some of the worst examples of the human species. I can do without getting exposed to that sort of people.

Yeah, if they want to be "deeper" than Cities:Skylines, they have their work cut out for them. And more micromanagement usually results in more tedium, rather than more fun.

Hm, this game must have somehow slipped through my fingers when it launched. Bought it now! :)

It's really amazing how WINE has progressed from "that nerd tool that can make ancient games run on Linux, with a lot of tinkering and a healthy portion of luck" to "will run pretty much anything in Linux, no matter what" in about just one year.

I followed WINE for a long, long time, and I have never considered it an alternative to dual-booting, until about that one year ago when the project seemed to have gone to warp speed all out of a sudden.

Not my thing and too late.

If a game is THAT old, I either don't want it or I have it already. One thing I don't understand about Feral's porting choices is that it (to me) makes very little sense to port games older than half a year. There is a very high chance that people interested in the game already bought it for Windows and run it in WINE. The rest isn't going to buy it anyway. Either way, Feral isn't getting paid.

More competition is a good thing. What the world however does NOT need is the kind of competition-less fragmentation where competitors open "stores" that more or less are meant for their own products, which they then refuse to sell anywhere else. Like...Origin. A true competitor for Steam would be a good thing, but we really don't need yet another DRM platform disguised as a store.

What can I say? It's consistent with non-digital businesses. Large corporations get tax breaks and subsidies. Small companies get lots of red tape and will be milked by the taxman. By making the rich richer, Steam is just doing what everyone else does.

I got this game back then when it was available for the first time. No regrets. It's a really cute, well-made game. These guys are more professional than many big-name studios.

All Total War games in the pipe have been announced already, no?

This will be something unexpected, for a change! :D

This game is one of my bigger disappointments. I backed their Kickstarter, which was advertising a Linux version. Now, I know, I know! A lot of developers say "We will support Linux!!!" and mean "Eh, we might do it a few years after the Windows release, but only if we're not working on another Windows game then." but HBS is a studio with a proven Linux track record and Paradox is probably THE most Linux friendly publisher there is. I really thought this to be a fairly safe bet.

They sent me the game key sure...it's collecting the digital equivalent of dust in my GOG library for how long now? A year?

I guess this just proves you can trust absolutely no one.
