DoubleFine sadly are one of the developers who do decide to do some funny stuff with their pricing. It actually costs more in £ than it does in $ for Broken Age.

Personally I think his reply does sound a little cocky, cocky also isn't a bad term FYI it means:
Conceited or confident in a bold or cheeky way.
So I am essentially saying he sounded a bit cheeky. Don't think I am being so negative when I am not ;)

Oh I'm not dismissing that at all, I just think it should be part of the contract to have all ports ready that's all.

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.

What issue is it you have exactly?

Planetary Annihilation RTS Major Patch Released

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?
