Now if I can only get the game to run at 2560x1080 resolution, I'll be all set. WSGF has a solution [External Link] for the Windows version. Does anyone know how to fix it on Linux?

When I saw the title, I thought it was going to be for young girls looking for sugar daddies. :D I'm pleasantly surprised.

Quoting: LinasI'm not so sure the two are mutually exclusive. The fact that software development tends to work like that does not negate the fact that it's unprofessional to promise a product and then not deliver it as promised. In other industries, that wouldn't be acceptable, and customers would switch to the competition.Quoting: ShmerlThis sounds unprofessional to me.No, not really. Deadline is nearing, and as always there are lots of things to be done, and managers are starting to look for things to cut to meet the deadline. Does not necessarily mean that Linux is canceled, but that it has been reduced in priority in favor of some contractual obligations they need to meet.
It's no insider knowledge or anything, just my experience with how software projects tend to work.

I've managed to avoid these games all this time, but I'm not sure I can resist a deal like this.
Minecraft: Story Mode for Linux never got released, even though it was “ready”

This is more likely a case of the higher ups telling the one or two developers who were working on the Linux port to stop "wasting time" and get back to "real work." It was almost certainly a financial decision, not a personal vendetta because game companies are businesses and business is about money.

Quoting: lucifertdarkIf Microsoft were really that concerned about Linux gaming, why would they continue to support Minecraft itself on Linux? Why are there games pulbished by Microsoft Studios on Linux?Quoting: Darkdisorder78Why wouldn't it make sense? It's not the first time they've stuck the knife into a rival. Never Trust Microsoft.Quoting: razing32Oh come on. How does this even make sense?Quoting: lucifertdarkTelltale were more than likely ordered to kill all Linux development or lose their spot in the Windows App Store. Microsoft have always been shady b'stards.Given M$ attitude to open source I would not be surprised at all.

There are plenty of good features from Madden they could imitate. The annual release of a full-priced game is not one of them.

As much as Tim Sweeney complains about Windows [External Link], you'd think Unreal Engine would work flawlessly on Linux by now. It kind of seems like he's all talk. Anyway, if the devs of this game manage to do a good job with it, I sincerely hope it sells well on Linux so they're encouraged by the results.

It seems like it wasn't that long ago when all we had was LGP, Icculus, Garage Games and free games like Tux Racer. It's amazing how far we've come.
