@eevee id didn’t even put those up on steam prior to their acquisition iirc.

@jberg well yes most of them were sold in a store

@eevee id as in id software? do their recent games really run natively on linux? genuinely interested, because I vaguely remember this from the carmack days phoronix.com/news/MTI5NTA and not sure if played anything past quake II on linux. @jberg

@jkmcnk @eevee up until Doom 3, all their games had Linux builds.

@jberg @jkmcnk @eevee idTech 4 ran on Linux as well, but only the games released before the acquisition got Linux releases (Doom 3, Quake 4, ET:QW, Prey). Even the later BFG edition of Doom 3 (which is a lot of the same code AFAIK) snubbed Linux.

@SnoopJ @jberg @jkmcnk @eevee I think all of the Linux ports of their early catalog were solely due to the efforts of @ddt .

@eevee @jberg what, doom 2016 and eternal ran on Linux?

I mean, 2016 does, via wine, on my laptop even, but natively? that's the first time I've heard of that
