Well I think the fact that they not even test their game(s) on all platforms they are selling them for says a lot about the QA of the game developer. If you do it like that its no wonder that things will break sooner or later. Same with the developer of ARK. The longer you neglect one platform the harder it gets to get it on par with the other ones and thus the support will be dropped entirely in the end since it would take too much effort to get it on par again.

Sounds interesting, both the name and the fact that it is about an AI remind of Josef Weizenbaums ELIZA:

Well the game engine subforum is/was one of the most active ones on blenderartists.org.
The Blender Foundation promised to create a new game engine after removing the old bge.
Godot may be a nice game engine with lots of features, but when it comes to speed of development and workflow nothing can beat the bge since you literally just need to press "p" to test your game and "Tab" to make an adjustment to your models, all in one application.
I really loved the BGMCs (Blender Game Making Contests) where lots of cool games were developed.
Its a pity that the bge was removed before having a replacement. This will likely destroy the lively community around it since everyone will have moved on until it gets added. A new game engine isn't written overnight.

I wish they'd use the money for the new game engine. (just dreaming)

Crashes on my system too. Looks like it requires a newer version of gLibc

So Ubuntu 18.04 would be the minimum.
Pity they don't support an older LTS version that are still supported by Canonical.

It doesn't even run with Proton on Linux Mint 18.3.
"Could not initialized SDL 2, error CoCreateInstance() DirectX error"
Had to refund it. :'(

I just checked in with their Beta program. Looks like it was in vain again. :(

I just hope that game developers don't mistake Linux users trying to run their games as an increase of players using cheat software. That could lead to even more anti cheat software usage in video games.

The drop in new ratings is not a surprise to me. When a game already has lots of ratings why bother to add another one if nothing has changed?

No, I guess that is the reason. ^^

EDIT:
It is running now :)
