    How big of a pile of shit that Windows port was anyway? Did Feral walk away? I really want to get the dirt on what happened, did they ever even get the console code?

    Seeing how the Windows version was a broken mess when it arrived (and I believe it is still having issues). It isn’t that surprising that the Linux port had been dropped from that perspective.

    This is my biggest question the console version actually work, so did Feral ever got that code?

    I got the game from NVIdia and it always has ran pretty well (as in 90FPS on high settings). That’s on an i7-4790k though…

    No. Notice the ‘wb’ in the username in the annoucement? That’s for Warner Bros. I have yet to see any announcement from Feral about this. I’m pretty sure this has taken them by surprise as well, they seemed very dedicated to making a good port out of this game.

    There’s this big myth that the code from the console version is so much better than the Windows version. It isn’t, it’s pretty much the same. And it wouldn’t make the slightest amount of sense to use that instead of the Windows codebase to build a Linux port, especially now that we know of IndirectX.
    The game seems better on console because it has been optimised to run steadily on a single machine. It still runs at 30FPS though, I can hardly call that good performance…

    So that’s Feral’s only comment on this. In other words “We have nothing to do with it, go bug Warner about it.”

    In actual terms: “Our Contract with WB Interactive/NDA prohibits discussion of this matter. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ “

    That’s exactly what they’re saying but knowing WB and Feral, we can read a bit more subtext.
    (If they had anything to do with the game being cancelled, they would have left out the “direct queries to Warner” part)
