For those who are MUD-curious, also check out Iron Realms https://www.ironrealms.com/ - they have a bunch there, and are fairly in-character role-play focused.

Wonder who owns the rights to this. Originally was Atari+Bioware.

Quoting: LeopardGame looks like abandoned , 0 in-game.

It's single player so this does not matter. Also, the devs are working on an expansion/dlc for it.

I am a big fan of my Logitech Driving Force GT. You can get a used one for €/$ 50, which puts it at a few hundred bucks cheaper than a new G27 or 29. It's not as fancy, sure, but it works very well with all the Codemasters' ports. I can't think of a better first wheel.

I can back this up. Mine works well with pretty much any driving game I have. (still no force feedback on *Truck Simulator though, but can live without it)

On Steam, race online against macOS, Linux and Windows players with a full grid of 20 cars, both current and classic.
Nice!

Certainly I´ll buy a copy. But not at start ...

Currently I am a little retro on the road. I have unpacked my old Amigas (2x A500, 2x A1200, 1x A600). In addition, I found an Amiga 1000 over ebay, which I just restore. He is technically in a good condition but has visually suffered very much. Very yellowed.

Therefore, I currently do not have very much time to play on the PC. And therefore I would buy F1 2017 only, but not play. But sooner or later I´ll grab it.

This is what you want then. :)

Quoting: rustybroomhandleMy desire to play this is wrestling with my strong dislike of the CEO of this company. :/ I think in the end a surprise third challenger will enter the arena - my empty wallet. :)

What is the reason for dislike for the CEO?

This is not a good place to get into that since it involves dredging up GamerGate again, and I feel we should spare Liam that. ;)

Re Feral:

I think "O VAIN... etc" is Total War: Rome 2
and "ONE RETURN TO" is either Shadow of Wardor or Rise of Tom Braider

KING Art Games have a new Kickstarter for Shakes & Fidget, a comedy adventure game

If I weren't broke I'd totally back this. :P As Liam said, they have a good Linux track record, and well worth supporting.

Get thinking, as Feral Interactive are teasing another new Linux port

How about Dishonored 2? (probably not, just throwing some different guesses into the pot)
