I agree with the posts above - Could be the greatest game ever made for all I know. It certainly looks like a game that I would like. But, just like how we might want to eat cake every day - the real world kicks in and we discover we need to have the diligence to do what's right. So, in short, make a Linux port and then shut up and take my money!!. Until then, I'll just hang out with Stardew Valley and 7 Days To Die and friends.

Short commentary on Wine here: I think WINE is a great tool. Remarkable, really. I use it, for example, to play my original Baulder's Gate I purchased way back when when I ran MS Windows XP. WINE certainly has it's place - whether it's gaming or running and old version of Quicken or a myriad of other use cases.

But to spend cash on a game that will likely never see a native Linux port because it's good for you personally - well, that's kind of just selling out. To make a real difference, we need to support companies like Feral and others that see Linux users as an asset and a viable market. In the end, what good does it do to send $60 US to Hello Games without a Linux version? All it means is that it's much less likely that they will ever release a Linux version! Not to mention that, if purchased via Steam it will additionally count as a Windows sale in the sales figures. A double-whammy!

I'm not telling anyone what to do. We're free to play and buy what we want. Just don't complain that more top-tier titles aren't released for SteamOS / Linux.

It's been all 7 Days to Die here since the Linux client is working well. Have had quite a few "white knuckle" moments already...like having my house / base collapse for the day 14 horde and escaping by jumping from the roof and being fortunate, out of sheer luck, to land on a porch rail and that allowed me to land on the ground unscathed. My house? Not so much. Total loss.
