Quoting: ElectricPrismIn the name of equality I wonder if people would have been outraged if Humble Bundle had a "Male Protagonist Sale"

I guess if male protagonists will ever be grossly underrepresented and marginalized in gaming in the same way female characters are today, it might actually be a thing!

If...it -really- will ever come down to that, I will sympathize. Promise!

I will probably buy this game when the Feral port is out. A part of me is sad that they didn't write another great story featuring a female lead character (DotNod was one of the very first studios that got a reputation for writing great female characters, and I was sort of assuming they would stick to what they started), but the two brothers seem to be interesting enough.

I guess for TW games there a bit of a saturation process settling in, but it's still great to see such a commitment to our platform by the TW devs.

It would be awesome if more high-profile studios would be just as committed. Feral isn't porting too many TW games at all, there are just not enough OTHER AAA games getting ported.

Playing this game will be indeed a somewhat strange experience, since everyone who played the original LiS already knows what will eventually happen to both protagonists. Honestly, I still want to throw rotten tomatoes at the person who wrote the LiS 1 ending. But I will still buy and play this game, I guess. Save for that super-stupid, super-not-satisfying and super-foreseeable ending, I consider LiS one of the best five adventure games ever made.

I agree with the point about excessive delay between Windows and Linux versions probably hurting Feral's business. Linux users want to play games when they are still new too, you know? I had at least a half dozen Feral ports popping up in my Linux library I already had for Windows, so Feral never saw a dime from these, sadly. This game is an exception. I didn't get it yet, for I was still mad at DotNod for above-mentioned stupid ending. :D

For a game they said will no longer be getting updates, it's sure getting some really nice updates! :D

So...

What do people think is the better choice to run Windows games now? regular WINE? Staging? Proton?

Being my brutally honest self...thanks, but we don't need yet another garage game on Linux. We got a few thousand of these. What's Turok anyway? What we need at this point are AAA titles. Stuff that makes people go "Wow, you Penguin people can play THAT???" Icculus is a human porting machine who can get anything ported you throw at him. His talents are completely wasted porting B list games. Again, what's Turok? Somebody go convince Bethesda or a company like it to let him have a go at their back catalog. Please?

They have a near monopoly on games distribution. I am not sure I feel comfortable with a single company inflicting their personal view on what's morally acceptable on the entire world. "If it's not illegal, it's ok" is a really good way to handle it. I like it.

I don't even care about MS in particular being involved here. But if people think mergers of this scale are a good thing, they need to start reading economics textbooks. It's not. If we want functional markets, we can't allow corporations to become that large. But I guess we still believe in this "regulation is bad!" rubbish. Until they day when the corporations start to regulate us.

Not that they don't already.
