But that didn't prevent other studios to do Linux versions anyway even after the EGS period.
Like Griftlands for example and possibly others, I just took a look at this list:
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_available_on_Epic_Games_Store [External Link]
And looking at some of their answers, here [External Link] and there [External Link], I really think that's more Proton than EGS.
And that's only about the Linux version.
What about the release on GOG or itch.io?
No reasons given.
So, clearly, Supergiant Games have changed, good for them, too bad for me.

Quoting: CatKillerYeah I think that can counts too.Quoting: CyrilI'm not usually much on that side, but I think Proton, in this case, just killed the Linux release and a studio who has been a great Linux friendly from the past 10 years.In this case, I think it was more that Epic killed the Linux release (as seems to have happened with other games). Supergiant's previous Linux versions were done by Ethan Lee rather than as multiplatform development with in-house expertise, and what's the point of contracting out for that when your game's Epic-exclusive & Epic don't sell Linux games?
It's a bit heartbreaking.

As a small independent game studio trying to stay in business over time and be a reasonably sustainable place to work for our employees, ultimately we have to make hard choices.This... seeing as Hades is a huge success, a lot more than their other games (solely based on the reviews count on Steam for each I admit, but still) I don't buy it...
And that's only about the Linux version.

I'm really disappointed by Supergiant Games since their latest game Hades.
All of their games were available on Linux natively AND like in all stores available: Steam, GOG and itch.io.
I mean everybody can be happy with that.
But with Hades? Still no Linux release and the game is not available on much stores, EGS and Steam...
I'm not usually much on that side, but I think Proton, in this case, just killed the Linux release and a studio who has been a great Linux friendly from the past 10 years.
It's a bit heartbreaking.
I have all of their games on GOG and some on itch.io I think (from a bundle). Sometimes I make an exception and buy some Windows only games, but I don't want to buy them on Steam or EGS, it's my choice.
And I want more choices for everybody.
So for now, from my point of view, there is no way I'll buy Hades, and it's of course too bad 'cause the game looks wonderful.
