Well a few moments ago I had logged into steam (linux version) and saw that a linux port of Dead Island is propably being worked on. I was able to install the game using a backup from my windows partition but alas when I tried to start it stated that the dreaded 'missing executable' error came up (even after verifying the game cache). I hope that this gets patched as soon as possible. Linux needs more AAA games (preferably newer games and not ancient ones).
