Ashes of the Singularity almost has Vulkan ready, doesn't have Linux on the radar right now

Quoting: LeopardTo the all developers ; if you don't support Linux ,of course our base won't grow.

Main problem is ; they want to push only Windows for not to spend time with learning new things and platforms. They're totally cool with possible MS lockdown because they will keep earning pennies ; who cares?
To all the Linux users:

Gamedevs (mostly) don't care. They are not releasing software to push a platform. They are releasing software to earn money.
To the some Linux users who doesn't understand:

We are saying that not supporting Linux builds or not intending to support it anytime and then ,making an excuse of 'Linux is not viable' is just ridiculous.

Quoting: Mountain ManIf they had done their job right, they could have had the Linux version out yesterday. When will developers learn that trying back into a Linux port is the wrong way to do it?
But Doom runs better than most ports. Much faster and more stable. And the steam hardware survey identifies wine. But as good as no one plays under wine. Except it is a wineport.

We have to wait, but it could be that with Vulkan simply no more ports are needed. That would be quite great. Perhaps Valve can automatically port the games in the future.

EDIT: The bad thing though is that the publishers do not provide support. But just by not doing this it could be very attractive for them to publish there games with Vulkan. ;)
If you do that ; you will only prove that John Carmack was right.

Quoting: GuestThis will be working just as good in WINE long before they ever release a Linux version.

Vulkan Doom anyone?
Depending on Wine with Vulkan titles is not helpful , just hurts.

Just don't "buy" titles without Linux support.

I can understand delays on titles like 'Inner Chains' ; but delay on 2d indie games like this is just unacceptable.
