Garry Newman, developer of Rust & Garry's Mod on supporting Linux, possibly not for future games

I think Rust is a great game. The performance is bad on all platforms not just Linux and over the last few weeks they have made great improvements.

I don't feel there is a need for people to start putting him, his team or his games down purely because he said something "anti Linux".

As much as we all want to see more games coming to Linux the truth is right now there is very little money to be made for the cost. This will hopefully improve but it is the truth.

He is actually making a very valid point in that if something is going to have Linux support it should have good support and so I respect his decision fully.

That said I would love to see his and his teams future games on Linux and hope that a growing market share and improved support from engines such as Unity will change his mind.

We are a great community, but I do get somewhat upset when people make negative comments about things purely because of a lack of Linux support or a statement made against Linux. We should be a friendly and thankful community as otherwise there is even less of a reason for anyone to bring their games to Linux.

I've been reading this site for a long time. I really appreciate the effort everyone here goes to and the great content that comes with it. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone!

Aspyr have been setting the bar in terms of Linux ports. I have Civ 5 and Borderlands 2 and they are of a great standard. I look forward to their future ports and hope that they inspire more to do the same in the future.
