Aspyr, please port Civilization VI to Linux
And here's a Steam thread I started about it if anyone wishes to discuss the petition there as well.
Steam thread for Civ VI Linux port petition
Thank you all for your time. :)
Update: Holy crap, wish I knew what can of worms I was opening. I want no part of any controversy, I thought I was doing a good thing. Looks like I may have been mistaken. I wish to rectify this. What do you guys think, and do you think I should scrap the petition? I have no desire to upset or insult anyone, I had no idea about prior events like the "blizzard incident" and I wish I had before doing this. So, do you all think I should remove it?

I signed. Thanks for the link. Why would you want to take it down ? How does it insult anyone asking for a game on Linux ? Was it insulting when Windows gamers asked for Dark Souls ? Was it insulting when console gamers asked for Crysis ? You have nothing to be ashamed of.

I panicked at first because I was unaware of a stigma attached to petitions for some in the Linux community, and was also unaware that petitions have been used for nefarious reasons in the past giving the Linux gaming community at large a bad name with certain devs and publishers. The immediate responses I received were negative in tone and I felt that maybe I had made a bad decision. It seems all is well now, and I do not think anyone is truly offended by this, and obviously I have no intention of insulting anyone, let alone Aspyr, whom I love and appreciate.
Things have seemed to calm down a lot, and so have I. I have received more encouragement than negativity since I first created it, and the sigs seem to be trickling in despite my under-promotion of it.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said and I had that very attitude when I started the petition. Thank you for your encouragement and positivity, in my humble opinion those are two elements that are needed in order to further the cause of native Linux gaming. Cheers friend and Happy New Year!

Yeah it can get quite derailed quickly when Linux is brought up. There are over 1900 comments on 128 pages for a thread on the Steam forum for Doom that started as Linux users happily asking for a port and countless Windows users berating them and then the Linux users berating them right back. It was a mess there and elsewhere. Still if we don't ask then people can just say they were unaware people wanted a Linux version. Have to make our voices heard and hope it stays respectful.
