I remember reading a comment long ago about Lee writing a guide on how to port games to Linux. If anyone who knows about it could provide a link, I'd appreciate it greatly.

SteamWorld Build arrives December 1st with full Steam Deck support

Seems like anytime a series goes on long enough, Linux support gets dropped.

Supergiant dropped it after four games when Hades came out. Shadow Warrior dropped it after the first game. Mimimi's games only kept it for Steam versions of their games after Shadow Tactics. And there's probably more examples that I've forgotten or unaware of.

It's a sad trend to see.

Quoting: ReyoldIt's also been reworked to run on modern OS's. I tried the DRM-free version from Humble Bundle and it runs without the need for 32-bit libraries.
That's probably the switch from Haxe/OpenFL to Haxe/Unity that happened in March (?).
That's right. Pope did discuss that in the Steam patch notes.

In my defense, I had no idea about any of this until I started checking my Humble library for Broforce's Forever update and noticed that Papers Please had also been recently updated.
