[Aspyr, please port Civilization VI to Linux](https://www.change.org/p/aspyr-please-port-civilization-vi-to-linux?recruiter=53021199&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink)
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](http://steamcommunity.com/app/289070/discussions/0/154644928863064467/)
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 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!
