Hey, thanks. I do have Victoria 2 on Steam, but didn't quite get it to run properly with Wine. I've meant a native version. Anyway, I will try again using the tips on that thread. Cheers.

Ah, I see. However, I fear it's not economically sensible for PDX to create a GNU/Linux port for Victoria 2 now after all those years.
From what I heard it works well with wine once it's correctly configured. If you run into problems feel free to ask there. (You should be able to post there even if you aren't a member of the group; you are more than welcome to join by the way.)
Let's hope for a Victoria 3 with native GNU/Linux support! Who knows... maybe they really announce it this weekend at the PDXCON 2017.
I want to believe they will announce Victoria III at PDX CON, that would be an amazing move
If Victoria 3 comes, I hope they emphasize the economy simulation aspect even more. I would like to have a screen for each good where I not only see the market price changes, but also the production costs in my country separated by wage costs, cost for resources/parts and compared to the competition on the world market. So I get a good idea how to set my tariffs, or how much the next social reform might hurt our sales.
Victoria 2 has a fascinating model behind it, but it is hard to find in the GUI and even harder to properly play. But without it I think it might become to similar to Europa Universalis.

Vicky III just got announced! With a new name though, now it's about managing pops in Mars!I want the announcement of vic 3 this week end!!!
Maybe we all should comment "Is this Victoria III?" under all announcements. It worked last timeI want the announcement of vic 3 this week end!!!
Signed. Hopefully devs will hear our pleas. And what's the better year to release Viki 3 than 1918 (oops 2018)
As much as I would have liked Vic III to be announced this weekend it was always going to be highly unlikely.
Everything points out to the game starting developement last spring when King joined as game director of an unknown project and Wiz became director of stellaris instead of becoming director of an unknown project (probably the same and Vic III is probably the only title where King would be better suited than Wiz, especially when you consider how enthusiastic Wiz was over V2).
This means that realisticaly the game is not going to be released before Q1 2019 at least and although they probably could've announced it this year, I fear that the HOI4 situation is still to fresh in the memories at PDS for them to announce anything that is not about one year from release anymore.
So let's rather cross our fingers for next year.

Very dissappointed right now. Really sad to see Paradox choosing to become a low budget indie gaming developer/Publisher. I thought paradox con would be used for great announcement, not unknown dissappointing games.
To be fair I'll probably buy battletech, but I'm a longtime battletech/mechwarrior fanboy. I'm somewhat disappointed about no vic 3 announcement, but I would much rather them get it right if that's the trade off for announcing it this weekend.
