crytek had a listing for a linux dev for a while and a few game devs have said they will port their games to linux on kickstarter while using cryengine but this is the 1st time i have seen it mentioned by the actual guys from crytek. should be good most cryengine games look stunning and hopefully us linux users will get quite a few of the new ones now

lets hope epic games makes a similar announcement about the new unrealengine(unrealengine has been linux supported for every version but this current one and it was promised for that one but ran into some troubles) and although i doubt ID software matters anymore id love to still see IDTech5 but with zenimax leading them i doubt that will happen

GOG and unreal engine 4 coming to linux

UE4: https://twitter.com/gbfan/status/446343166568841217
GOG: http://www.gog.com/news/gogcom_soon_on_more_platforms

both good news thats 2 main engines(crytek and UE4) getting linux support and with unity already having it i think thats all the main engines that get used alot supporting linux? and gog is awesome who doesn’t like drm free now if only they offered steam keys too like humblebundle does

also witcher 2 might be coming our way “The Witcher 2 Linux Beta Retail” is a steam package which suggests they are in beta(or just starting) : http://steamdb.info/sub/40356/
