We see a lot of games get delayed for Linux, but why is this? I decided to ask around about the difficulties facing developers when porting games to Linux. A chat with some well known Linux porters! Warning: Article is on the longer side.

FOX n FORESTS, a 16-Bit style action platformer that has adventure and puzzle elements is on Kickstarter, it looks good and promises Linux support, so I asked about the status of the Linux version.
