Stardock CEO asking to see interest in Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation on Linux with Vulkan
28 May 2017 at 11:23 am UTC Likes: 6

Hhhmmmm... What the hell, Stardock??!!

1st the Linux support was promised on your roadmap for late 2016/early 2017.
Then, Linux support was pushed to sometime "in the future", expected late 2017 or even later.
Then, any mention of anything even remotely touching Linux support disappeared quietly from all your development roadmaps on Steam and your webpage and even now is not in there anywhere.

And now, a year after initial Early Access release, with originally promised Linux support, you have the guts to come back to ask the Linux community "if there is interest, we *might* port it"? Are you f*cking kidding me??!!

It is this game, which taught me not to spend my € on the promised future Linux support, cuz the developers might change their minds not to support Linux, if this suites them...
Very bad attitude, which I would expect from EA, not from Stardock...

Well, an ordinary shooter...
...nothing special, a bit of a disappointment, really (Tactical Ops from 1999 is more interesting!).

Anyway, will not want my money back, I'm proudly supporting the Linux devs out there :)

“Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

― George Carlin
Thats why I stay away from such forums posts.
That quote was the quote I was looking for and it summarize it perfectly how to deal with trolls.
This is *generally* a very good rule, and the best thing one can do, when one meets an idiot.

Issue arises, though, when you meet such an idiot at your work/in your professional life, and this idiot is killing your project, or your work reputation, with their (usually very loudly spoken, and usually well targeted) idiocies.

If you run away, you insta-loose everything you worked for....
And what is even worse: by your behaviour, you let the idiot win.

THIS is my worst real-life, all life long dilemma..

Hmmmm, sounds like yet another System Shock 2 re-make :)
(Where you wake up on a ship, keep finding your crew members dead, where there is everything wrong and everything still moving is trying to kill you :) Oh, an the ship was called "Von Braun" :) ).
