Quoting: BTREWhere did you see that? Since I was playing before release, I had no other point of comparison. If indeed it's broken just for Linux, I'll make a note of it in the article.

You can see the tooltips on any old (Windows) let's play on Youtube. Here [External Link] for example.

As I say, I've mentioned it to the devs so they're aware of it at least. If you could contact them and get an ETA for a fix that'd be nice. Lack of tooltips makes it significantly harder to play, especially since it's such a difficult game to learn to begin with.

Just to let you know - the game *should* have tooltips. It's a Linux specific bugs and the devs are aware of it.

Yeah, I'm in the 'this game makes no sense without multiplayer' camp.

Quoting: LeopardI think developers are just like that:Dude,let's do the windows version first.As 90 percent of potential buyers are out there.If sales are going to slow down we will release Linux and Mac versions for getting one last sale.

That's fine outside of crowdfunding - we get that Linux is a (proportionally) tiny market and that most devs are inexperienced with it - I think, as a community, we're pretty forgiving of (reasonable) delays and so forth.

It's entirely different when people have paid money up front on the promise of a (simultaneous) Linux release. We know from experience that these delays have a tendency to become permanent. Taking someone's money and then not delivering what you sold them is rightly criminal in any other context besides crowd-funding.

I think some devs go in knowing that they can get bit more money by offering Linux support then pull it later, confident that we have no recourse. They should be called what they are: scammers.

Our hands are tied

Our hands are tied by the fact that we lied to you so that you would give us your money in order to make a game for a platform you don't even own.

It's too hard for us to not lie to you because we really wanted your money in exchange for nothing at all. I hope that clears things up - as you can see, because we are lying scammers, our hands were tied :)

Its no secret Steam machines haven't taken off as well as the Linux community had hoped, but that doesn't prevent us from considering titles for the platform. It does however make us be more selective as to which titles we chose to port.

I respect their honesty on that one. They could've hedged/not brought it up.

Surely Dishonoured.

Because I much prefer using Linux as a desktop operating system. It's faster, more efficient and more comfortable for what I want to do with my computer.

I also prefer the ethics of Free Software, I think co-operating and openly sharing our creative endeavours is a better way for humans to behave and leads to better societies.
