Leadwerks Game Creation Kit Has Fixed Two Major Linux Blockers

Quoting: Quote from liamdawe
Quoting: Quote from Chris ThornettGood news! It's a bit harsh to call Unity's popularity a monopoly though, when they chose to support Linux while game engine/dev software didn't and still don't - They should be applauded.
Maybe Monopoly isn't the best way to describe it, but it's still mostly true.

While yes it's good they support Linux, they still have no plans to port the editor, so no real applause from me yet.
does it really matter on which platform a game has been developed ?  yes for the developer but no for the gamer.  I really don't care if doublefine developed their last game on windows or on a psvita.  so maybe a bit harsh about the no applause, they should be applauded tbh.

btw you seem to forget about Unigine, they have their engine linux ready for long time, just can't seem to get many games out of it on any platform.

You obviously don't know what abandonware means... Anyway the new release has a number of improvements over the original. Personally I'd appreciate not having to pull out the booklet for the flavor text.
I do know what it means, but the simpel fact is the game is available on many of the abandonware sites thus my comment stands.
