Don't enjoy most of the newest AAA titles.

So, I checked the most anticipated AAA titles of 2016, just to see how accurate this statement is, and here's my findings:

Dark Souls III: No Linux support

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: Linux support announced for October

Final Fantasy XV: Doesn't even have PC support

Mass Effect Andromeda: Pushed, but Bioware has hinted SteamOS support

Mirror's Edge Catalyst: Has gold rating in Wine

Overwatch: No Linux support

Street Fighter V: Announced forthcoming Linux

The Last Guardian: This is the most vaporware game ever

Uncharted 4: Isn't this a PS exclusive?

XCOM 2: Full Linux support

Once you knock out the games that don't even play on PC at all, or have been pushed to 2017 or later, it's a pretty competitive list. You miss out on two games, which sucks if you were looking to play Dark Souls or Overwatch, but hey, you can always keep a Windows partition on the back end to sate your need for player-abusive titles, if that's your bag.

Thanks for the research.

Even though I loved the ME trilogy, well most of it) I don't plan on getting Andomeda or any Bioware title again.

I don't own a single one of those titles and yet I play PC games quite a bit. Gunny thing is I probably won't buy any of them except maybe xcom 2 even on sale latter.

Honestly, the AAA development scene has gone so far into the shitter, I can't even remember the last one I was interested in. Besides Witcher 3, which is going to have Linux support eventually anyway.

Post on social media how proud you are of being a tool.

On my desktop I dual boot Win10 and Mint. I reclaimed a Win8.1 "ultrabook" to only Mint. I've used Ubuntu in the past and even Red Hat back before they went allcorpirate.

The first time I ever felt bad feelings for CDProjekt Red was when The Witcher 3 came out without native Linux Support. Facts are facts man.

First off, plenty of games on Linux these days. On top of that, an acceptable solution is to dual boot and keep all your private stuff on the Linux partition.
