Another year has passed and it's now nearing six years since the Carmageddon: Reincarnation Kickstarter that was supposed to have a Linux version. The developer said it is still coming, apparently.

Today, they've released Carmageddon: Max Damage (the revamp of Carmageddon: Reincarnation) on GOG, naturally they've had people query what's going on with the ridiculously overdue Linux version. They actually replied, with this:

Today we have finally released the DRM-free version, one of the many rewards promised in our Kickstarter campaign. We mentioned that the physical rewards are also still in the pipeline but failed to mention anything about the Mac and Linux versions. 

We are still planning on releasing both Mac and Linux in the future, however we still do not have a timeline for the release. So please accept our apologies for the continual delay but we have not forgotten!

I'm well aware they haven't forgotten, they just don't really care enough at this point. "we have not forgotten" is exactly what they said nearly two years ago in 2016.

It got to the point where I actually had to block one of their team on Twitter for repeatedly trolling our Twitter account with pathetic anti-Linux comments. On top of that, they started jumping in on Tweets from us to other developers, to shit-post about Linux. I won't say who, or link to it, as I don't want a witchhunt, but safe to say they're one developer who I've probably been the least impressed with in a very long time.

I firmly expect this never to actually come to Linux, if it does I might die from shock. I'll be happy, as I won't ever turn a Linux game down, if the end result is good. I'm a gamer—I like good games, but that doesn't stop me from calling stuff like this out. Make an actual effort Stainless Games, stop giving empty thoughtless words.

Thanks for the tip, Bob.

It's like Duke Nukem Forever... But for Linux.

I'll believe they're working on it when I see actual proof of it.

Stainless is not a game developer but a political party.

It's still welcome and if it does finally come and is in good quality I'll still buy it :)

Game ran decent last time I tried it (at 4k) and their using Unity3D so there shouldn't be too many barriers to get it on Linux really.

Sure, they "haven't forgotten", they're just not doing it. It's your average teenager who knows they were supposed to clean their room, they just won't.

It took so long for this game to even comenout for Windows that I had completely forgotten about it. But I think I had bought itbin either early access or had backed it on kickstarter because I loved Carmageddon back in the day. Sad it became such a shit show.

I wouldn't want this game even if they payed me. More so, judging by the attitudes these "developers" displayed, they must really be a nice group of mature, responsible professionals. A pleasure to work with no doubt.
Thanks, but no thanks.
