Quoting: stretch611Ars picked up that story from here? Wow, call me shocked. Ars pretty much ignores linux... except for a few small server related articles once every six months or so.

They don't usually write about Linux, but they did report about Steam Machines in the past, so it's not unexpected to see a follow up. However amount of anti-Linux comments for that article is really weird, as well as some trying to justify exclusives and lock-in as a valid methodology.

Quoting: ezra-sinmediatly bought for Linux and under Linux upon release and having issues launching the game.

Hope verifying local files fix it.

Works fine here, should really be a local issue on your end.

Sadly Linux is less than a percent of the sales and keeps dwindling. SteamOS didn't turn out to be what we all hoped. The Linux community needs to grow or spend more to stay viable.

Quoting: Alm888Steam and GOG are encouraging this type of behaviour. Even Valve itself did this with HTC Vive!

I've yet to see a single developer who got punished for release-day cancelling.

At this stage the "No Tux == No Bucks" and "Never Pre-Order" rules are obligatory.

What about kickstarter?
