just finished the episode. Fantastic. Yeah, they were the ones who invented the FPS genre for a reason. Shame they didn't get as big as activision or EA.

I know, the lure of ferraris lol...

Quoting: HoriLinux is unexplored territory for them. They don't know how to solve most problems. They don't know what problems to expect and prepare for.
srsly, everything is solved problem on linux, too. Ok windoze has directx for everything. Linux has vulkan (or opengl fallback) for gfx. For everything else there's SDL2. (sound, music, input and network)

If the said gamedev ever worked on mobile or console title then they can release on linux. If they use unity3d, unreal or godot then they can build for linux by pressing a button.

linux gamers usually don't need support. They can solve their own problem.

Epic looking fantasy RPG 'Edge Of Eternity' still plans a Linux release, not soon though

it doesn't help that you need to support vulkan, metal and directx. We are back to square one with multi-platform gfx libraries.
