The Reason Some Games Are Delayed For Linux In Humble Indie Bundles

I don't think I wash harsh enough personally.

If you are going to use a tagline of "cross-platform" then be cross-platform or:
a) Use a new tagline
b) Wait for the next bundle

I don't think it is crazy for me to expect "cross-platform" to actually mean it.

That is my main point.

The problem is, if the developer didn't port it themselves as is the case with a lot of HIB games on Linux they need to rely on whoever ported it for updates, which usually means paying that developer out of their pocket to keep updating it and most don't do that.

Dungeon Defenders probably stopped paying Icculus hence no more updates.

Quoting: dimkoI think he meant you are you harsh. I think that too to be honest.
What they say makes sense. I remember torchlight. It came out really bugged, but then stuff was fixed, so I sorta let them get away with it personally.
Exactly how have I been harsh? I haven't, all I have done is laid out that facts with a small bit of my own opinion.

Quoting: migiziI'll be happy when this game actually works for me. I can get it to semi run on my laptop but it's not very powerful. It won't even start on my desktop because it gets all pissed off that I'm using an AMD 6870 GPU. I'm not sure if it's an issue with their stuff or Coherent UI. Either way it's turning into another game I'm disappointed I backed.
Unless you have a decent laptop, I imagine it would struggle with a game like this, that's kinda a given with a massive scale RTS.

I take it you have reported all issues to their forum and bug tracker?

Quoting: HadBabitsI had given up on an Antichamber port :D Pleasant surprise indeed!
Humble do have a way of surprising you, or holding things back...not sure if it's the case, but sometimes it really feels like some devs actually wait for the HIB.

Quoting: LetikTha ks for the help liamdawe, but I disabled Steam Community on NS2 and it didn't solve the problem :/
So you went to right click on NS2, properties, and unchecked "Enable Steam Community In-Game". Then launched?
