But what's the point of a Windows user installing Linux when they can just play Battlefield 4 on Windows? Halo was a reason for a PS2 user to get an Xbox. Granted Halo 1 was on Windows and Mac, but back then, a lot of people either didn't have computers and went to a library if they needed one or if they did have one, it was a piece of shit.
So Halo 1 was the whole point of getting an Xbox because a gaming PC at that time was too expensive, so what's the point of Installing Linux to Play BF4 if you already have Windows? There aren't many Linux/Windows dual booters and the most that a Linux Port of BF4 will do is add the few people that use linux and only dual boot for BF4.
I know it's sad, but that's the reality is of most gamers, they buy into platform lock-in. I do too on steam, but I can just crack most of my games and play them in Wine. I would rather be locked into an API that only runs right one one OS that costs $100 and can run on off-the-shelf parts than on hardware that's very restrictive.
But, I think they still should port to Linux in case Microsoft ever tries to take back the keys to the city with windows like they did on Windows RT.

Also, Windows has a similar stigma in a sense to sell a Windows game, you have to brand it "PC". (to a degree) When Games that are popular on console, they say "PC" instead of "Windows". So, in a way, they hide the Windows name. (at least in a good portion of the time)

You sell Linux in mobile by calling it "android" and make everything brain dead simple.
You sell Linux in the Enterprise by making it a package in a solution like Red Hat.
You "sell" Linux on the Desktop by making it Ubuntu.

Quoting: Quote from minjAnyone else got that 'whatever you do, don't call it Linux' vibe?That's because there's a Linux Stigma. The only way to Sell Linux is to hide Linux. Linux has this stigma of being inconvenient, difficult, irrelevant and a toxic community.

Quoting: Quote from DrMcCoyI didn't know that R&A uses AGS. And interesting to note that the R&A devs don't know about the Linux port.Oh, yes. ^^ I actually compiled AGS on Linux and I played the DRM-free version of Gemini Rue. It's odd because it uses a windows as a asset holder because the game file is monolithic in windows and the Steam Version won't work of AGS games because it looks for the Steamworks Achievement API/DRM.

Quoting: Quote from scaineNah, it's not ridiculous, Samsai, it's based on valid concerns over DRM, that's all.Here's how I worry about DRM in case it bothers me, I say "Fuck off, I already payed you" and crack the game I payed for and if I find it on GOG or a humble bundle, I buy it again drm-free.
