Quoting: AnxiousInfusion"Local discovers that animals, after suffering years of abuse, will bite when cornered."Good Lord almighty. I thought of the exact same analogy but couldn't put it into words. Perfect!

[childish]Mommy, mommy, some internet people are talking shit about me because I did a bad thing. But I am perfect, aren't I? Tell me I am, mommy, tell me NOW![/childish]
I get that name-calling is stupid and it shouldn't be done, but that's what happens when people are sold a lie. They where angry when they realised the port they payed for wasn't what they where promised. I too will get hate for saying this, but if complaining a company sold us a lie (even if they fixed it later [i still can't play, though]) is enough to make them not port anything else to the platform I think that's a good thing. Just because we are Linux users we shouldn't have to be oh so very grateful you thought of us, thank you, master game company*. In the long run companies will see Linux is getting bigger and they will see the hate, but they will not think "better not port it then" because there is money to be made there, so they'll think "better make sure it is good before releasing it then."
In some not much older article it was said a developer would stop with the Linux support of his game because of the lots of bug reports Linux users where sending. If we collectively stopped sending in bug reports he wouldn't have cancelled, but should we have done that? Of course no.
There is a nice way of doing it and there's a bad way of doing it, but doing it is the way.
*I'm not saying this is what the article suggests, just my opinion on the matter.

Would've done the same if I hadn't surpassed the 2 hours by looking at a blank screen and hoping it would load.

I saw this trailer some time ago because of the whole Gamergate thing and immediately thought it would never come to Linux. Now I'm even more exited. I'll buy it if it has a fair price, specially considering the dev's tweets.

Yeah, right.
I'll buy it when it's released, it does look good. I like that they say "PC first" and include Windows, Mac and Linux in that category.

Just as much the porters need to get payed for their hard work, the clients gotta have the money to pay for the new game. If the client doesn't have it, the client doesn't buy it. That is why I (mostly) only buy on sale. And don't think that is us, studios know Christmas and other holidays with good discounts on Steam are good for business. The store CRASHED last Xmas because too many people were in it.
Some thoughts on switching from Ubuntu to Antergos for Linux gaming

Antergos is great, I installed Ubuntu then went right back. It's horrible that installing Nvidia is such a headache, I didn't even install and am not gaming.
