Quoting: SalvatosBookmarking the KS for now, might throw a few bucks their way but it's more expensive than I usually pay for video games and I already have a backlog
My thoughts exactly; if there were a pledge at half the cost, I would have immediately jumped on it, but it's a bit high.

For some reason, I find the color scheme used in this game very off-putting.

2000 games or more?!? :O
In the early days of Steam for Linux, I bought cheap bundles even if they only had a couple Linux games. It's "only" 1094 Linux games (more than half, at least!), and certainly a lot of them I will likely never even download... :|

The Kickstarter went up without any mention of platform support, so I complained/asked, and they responded...

Quoting: Playa GamesPC, Mac and Linux will be our start.
Quoting: meOh, so it will run on OS/2, Haiku, AmigaOS, etc? Or maybe you meant to say Windows, macOS, and Linux. :-)
Quoting: Playa GamesThere may or may be secret plans to bring it on Casio Graph 35+ and Virtual Boy, but pssst!
And yes, that was what I meant initially!
At least they have a sense of humor, even if they don't actually correct their improper usage. :)

Got the release announcement from Steam, and then wondered why it was on my wish list. Now I understand, and have removed it from my wish list until they do a proper release.
