At work I use WSL2 to run fully functional Linux development environment(unfortunately I have rather old Windows10 build, so I use xrdp for my graphical needs). So you don't need to install Linux on bare-metal if you don't want.

Quoting: GuestI will admit, some of the responses here aren't very pleasant: if I were a dev and saw all this, I would be quite put off to even bother with a GNU/Linux version in the first place.
What a nice example of tone policing. Why do you belittle people for having emotions about a topic at hand?

Second, we are adults here, devs are also adults, I believe that they are as bitter about their failure as we are(unless they planned to not support linux), so they might be more understanding than you think. And if they don't, why should I care about their feelings, when they apparently didn't care about mine, when they canceled linux port?

Also worst case scenario is that they create another Kickstarter, promise linux port and not deliver it again.
For me promising linux port when they know they have no expertise to make it happen is dishonesty, so them not promising it is the only honest thing they can do. I'm refraining from using word "lying" because I'm not sure if they were aware of their inadequacies, so I give them benefit of doubt. But if they were competent at what they were doing, they would address it from beginning. Also complaining about 3rd part packages not having linux support when you hand picked them from the beginning (they knew they were obligated to provide linux port) is not a great excuse. You just sabotaged yourself for no reason.[Picture of a guy putting stick into front wheel of a bike he rides on]

There should be consequences for overhyping/overpromising in gaming industry, developers in this case are not the only ones that made statements that later were proven false(eg. Peter Molyneux).

But remember, nothing stops them from saying that they will support Linux and then later saying they can't do it for technical/whatever reasons.

Quoting: monyarmReminds me of Bloodstained, atleast these guys are offering a refund.
I really hate this guys, but the game itself was nice.
I forgotten how much I hate them. So bye,bye kickstarter account. Bye, bye Bloodstained from steam.
No more buying games before I see them.

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

I really wish there were linux ports of two franchises:
1. Dark Souls(I, II or III)
2. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series (even Clear Sky one)

So how does steam version compares with ja2-stracciatella?

The developers of Armello are facing a bit of a backlash over the DLC not coming to GOG
2 Sep 2016 at 7:36 pm UTC

Or do developers see their game(Armello) as a platform that delivers(?) DLC to their customers.
Because if they do, it's quiet logical for them to try to stop potential "whales" from getting their DLC-fix by not so legitimate ways.
But if it's true does it means that their game will end as a glorified DLC(-pushing) store?
