Obsidian Entertainment and inXile Entertainment have officially joined Microsoft

QuoteThat's a little worrying, but it doesn't mean they will suddenly stop having Linux ports of their games

Well, not suddenly. inXile had a solid track with Wasteland 2 and TToN, but with Bard's Tale 4 they already stopped developing for Linux and decided to make a delayed port, despite the crowdfunding promises. Obsidian has released games without Linux support before.

Anyway, Microsoft might not be very invested in sabotaging Linux gaming, but we certainly can't hope they will be supportive. Things like DirectX, Xbox live and the windows store are probably higher in their priority list than "helping that insignificant competitor".

Aspyr Media are getting a little help from Intel for the long-delayed Linux patch to Civilization VI

Hmm, Civ 5 works perfectly on Linux for me (faster than on Windows, even). I had some issues with mods, but the base game was great. I didn't know that people had problems with the port. Civ 6 is unplayable for me on Linux, but my integrated graphics is bellow minimum specs on Windows and unsupported on Linux so I can't really complain.

Total War: THREE KINGDOMS confirmed to be coming to Linux, port from Feral Interactive

I saw this on my feed right after a post about the game finally getting a release date and got really hopeful that this time it would be day-1 Linux support. Alas, it was too much to hope for.

Well, considering it will be many years before I get a PC that can run a recent Total War game, I don't really care for the delay.

inXile will be 'all hands are on deck' to get the Linux version of The Bard's Tale IV out as soon as possible

QuoteThe Windows version is still on schedule for the 18th and then all hands are on deck to get the Mac and Linux versions out as fast as we can.

This is a very positive way of saying "we failed to develop the game for the platforms we promised, we can't say how long the port will take".

We've teamed up with GOG for another fantastic giveaway: Surviving Mars & Iconoclasts

Surviving Mars.

QuoteAll computers I ever owned ran Linux. I had some computers running Windows at home, but they were Microsoft's. There was also a Mac, but I think it was the Mac who owned me.
