Hard Reset Redux is not coming to Linux despite appearing in SteamDB

Here's a reason I usually tell you not to take SteamDB entries as confirmation of a Linux version. The Hard Reset Redux developers have stated it is not coming to Linux as it hasn't been popular enough for a port.

From the post:
QuoteI'm not aware of any plans to port HR to Steam. HR isn't popular enough to justify the Linux port.


A shame, but not everything works out in our favour.

Every once in a while I have to dual boot Windows due to buying the HTC Vive, and I have to admit, the new Hard Reset Redux is a damn good FPS experience. It's sad not more devs, or more titles, have Linux support (Shadow Warrior is a great Linux port - so the dev can do it).

I hate going back to the Windows desktop environment now, after being enlightened about all the creature comforts/options/functionality and niceties (privacy/autonomy/security/etc) Linux DE's and distros have to offer.

It's a sad fact most people are creatures of habit, and just accept the shit desktop they get with Windows 10 due to never knowing anything better.

Ha, I have the exact same problem! Fortunately I only look at the Windows desktop long enough to launch Steam, then whatever game I'm planning on playing.

Quoting: BOYSSSSSI was wondering if I should buy it, 3$ promo price is pretty cheap, good thing I decided to wait.

I would quite happily pay ten times this...

Steam sales have ruined us.

The reasoning is quite understandable. They are not confident they'll recoup development cost porting to Linux. If the Windows platform generates enough income it can offset the development costs of the Linux port. However, from the looks of it the Windows version failed to recoup their current development cost or at least they only broke even.

That's sad news, but it don't mind, they are Linux-friendly enough. I'm just sad I won't be able to show my support this time.

It's 3$ for owners of Hard Reset and Shadow Warrior, its not a Steam Sale, besides I wouldn't even have a Steam profile if there weren't any sales. The Middle Income in my country is 200euro minus electricity, water, food, internet and whatnot. I wouldn't bother playing games for full price.

That's actually the problem of a lot of people. Even that games are cheaper in some zones does not help a lot, since they're still too expensive for a lot of players.

That's actually why so many copies more sell on steam sales - because they get accessible for a huge number of people not having the financial background to pay anything full-priced, which can very well be that they're living in a country where the average income is a lot lower compared to some european countries and/or USA. And some people even in this countries don't earn a lot compared to the living costs.

Why not stop the desktop from loading & just go straight into Steam big picture mode instead?
