I can't buy it, since it's Steam exclusive. You saying they have no reason makes no sense to me. Developers naturally should try to reach more users if they have a sensible business. So I assume they have some reason.
Wow, Just Wow!

You use Linux right ?
You use one of the top 100 distros ?

If there is no reason, then it's just weird. Not reaching more users is bad for both developers and users that they left out.

Not wish to what? I don't quite understand. Unless you mean they are pro-DRM or something?

Quoting: pete910Because they do not wish too ?
And why wouldn't they wish to have more users?
May be due to the sheer volume that by comparison it's already available too!

Quoting: ShmerlWhy is it still not on GOG yet? Looks like they released it on every console already, so apparently it doesn't need Steamworks for multiplayer.

NVIDIA have put out a new Vulkan beta driver with better pipeline creation performance

Quoting: tpauI still wonder why they don't go the AMD way and share development of the base driver with the opensource community.
Would make the proprietary part smaller and easier to maintain and make the OS enthusiasts happy.
