Urgh. Thought this might be the reason for the Rocket League delays, but no dice (unless it's the unlock in a week...).

Galak-Z is excellent though, as is Nuclear Throne. Will likely be picking this up a couple of times for friends and family. Great bundle.

And yet... it's a Windows sale. Or in my case, no sale. I just can't bring myself to go down the dark road again. Linux only for me. No tux? No bucks.

Been so long since I was excited for an Aspyr port. Fingers crossed, wallet on standby. Make it a good one, guys!

Two and half years ago, this announcement was made. That was quite exciting, wasn't it??

Now? Not so much. They've horribly mistimed their hyped on this one and the whole "throwing a bone" to the Linux crowd is pretty insulting. Love them to prove them wrong, but when they closed the Linux steam thread so that only owners of the game could comment, it was a slap in the face to the people who were waiting for them to deliver on their promise of day one Linux support. Deeply, deeply disappointing.

Now we know how all those Wii users felt. Still, given that they'd already broken the Wii promise, it's not a big surprise to hear them breaking more, is it? They've set their tent out as an untrustworthy developer. Simply avoid in future and hopefully not too many of you got burned by this minor fraud.

Actually, scratch that - I doubt it was fraud as surely there was no actual criminal intent. More likely it was plain incompetence.

Still very frustrating through.

Love love, LOVE the first one. This is great news. Instabuy. Just a bit gutting that I've got another tortuous 6 months to sit through before I can throw money at this...

I was a bit let down with Sir, but this looks superb. In fact, I think I have to replay Sir, since it was mid-EA when I last played it (and a good reason for why I don't touch EA anymore... you only get one chance to form a first impression, right?).

Hopefully they announce plans.

Given the common theme, I think we have our answer, and I'm with the majority - looks like a lot of us won't touch Early Access.

Been looking forward to playing this though, I was excited by the announcement and it's the kind of game I like. I'll buy on release.

Quoting: mr-egg

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: SamsaiHopefully they don't suddenly "forget" about Linux during the development process and end up with a massive amount of incompatible Windows-only middleware that destroys all chances of a Linux port in the end.

Fortunately, they are totally aware of this:
[In Unity, building for those platforms can be done with a click of a button, but unless we have the resources to build on those platforms on a regular basis, supporting those platforms will be incredibly difficult. ](http://steamcommunity.com/app/482400/discussions/0/351660338713339416/?ctp=7#c358417008716066949 [External Link])

Sigh, this again :dizzy:

Well, the quote was clickable, and you can see when you do so that this quote was before the stretch goal for Linux support was made. In other words, he was qualifying the existence of a Linux demo before they had the resources (stretch goal) to meet the requirements to support Linux. It wasn't a disclaimer on how hard it is to test on multiple platforms, despite how it sounds.

I'm afraid that my crowdfunding days are now over, (mainly thanks to Kickstarter refusing to support PayPal/Amazon payments in the UK, but also because I've been stung a few times). However, they will definitely have my money when they launch. This is really awesome news. Now they just have to deliver.

My kind of game, but I wouldn't touch his games with a barge pole after his comments. 7 Days to Die, ironically, is an excellent substitute. Ironic, because not so long ago, 7 Days to Die was catching a lot of heat from the Linux community (myself included) for not treating their Linux kickstarter promise with enough respect to actually launch the game. They finally launched a few alphas in.

They still prioritise Windows fixes, but they're much more open on their forums and Youtube channel about the work they do to support all platforms. I'm actually looking forward to the A15 release!

I doubt Facepunch could turn around their public image the way the Fun Pimps have.
