How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
How to install Hollow Knight: Silksong mods on Linux, SteamOS and Steam DeckRecently Updated
In Steam disucssion (in german) https://steamcommunity.com/app/599010/discussions/0/1696045708660627461/ a member of Assemble Entertainment, named AssembleGames-Whitman is talking about the chance getting a Linux port for the hanseatic League.
He is stating the game is using the unity engine. It looks like they droped the Linux support a while ago. AssembleGames-Whitman is mentioning that supoporting Linux does not pay off. He brings the poor Linux sales for Pizza Connection 3 as a reason. Just 0.33% were Linux. In total (all systems) PC3 has sold a 5 digit number.
In the discussion it also showed up that they accidentially released a Linux version as well on Steam. A user is providing a scrrenshot for prooving this.
This is just my speculation and observation: They removed SteamOS/Linux closely after the PC3 release (a week or so). Even the first press releases were mentioning SteamOS. I think they really dropped this due to the poor Linux numbers of PC3.
AssembleGames-Whitman is not mentioning how big the effort of supporting Linux is/was or what technical issues they have experienced.
However, looks like this Publisher is lost for Linux.
Edit: Typos
Now onto Pizza Connection 3, which also has "Overall Reviews: Mostly Negative"
Sadly, we know Linux doesn't have a huge market share, I really don't know what they were expecting. If they go into thinking it's going to sell like hot cakes, they're obviously going to be disappointed.
Seems like they just keep publishing games that just aren't popular.
For me it feels like they wanna do just a quick earning using my happy memories on great games I played like hell many years ago (with the hard earned money from my parents).
Unfortunately it's working. At least they have my attention and I'm in real danger giving them my (now myself) hard earned money.
By the way, I asked AssembleGames-Whitman for theire expectations. Let's see If he will reply.
He states that there were no real expectations regarding Linux but that Linux devlopment and external testing at least needs a five digits containing budget. So they need about 800-1000 sold copies to justify that.
PC3 for Linux has sold less 100 times.
He mentions that the situation for mac is better. Especially as they also sell through Apples Store - so there are more distribution platforms for Mac.
