doady: Maybe you should give it 1 star review just to complain about the lack of Linux version like no doubt many other Linux users will. Maybe that will teach the developer not to ignore Linux users any further.
gogtrial34987: Maybe, in the spirit of the season, I'll try to interpret your comment in the most positive light imaginable.
Which I guess means that I have to consider that my previous comment came over... entitled and whiny to you?
Let me clarify that it wasn't meant as such. I'm sure that there's some Linux users who are at times entitled and whiny - we're simply human after all, with good days and bad - but in my experience, most Linux users are pretty reasonable most of the time.
I made my comment, as I'm hoping that someone at the developer/publisher will have a look at this thread, and see that there's someone (me) who has a positive initial impression of the game, and is wondering about availability on Linux. Now, I by myself am not going to cause this game - nor any future games by this developer / publisher - to suddenly show up on Linux. But I doubt that I'm by myself. I expect that there's many more Linux users who'll have shown signs of interest in the past, and will do so in the future, and I hope that at some point that will cross some threshold beyond which it becomes interesting for this developer / publisher to put work into making a Linux release possible. That point would be a happy point.
I'm not demanding anything. I'm not going to have a negative impression of this developer / publisher for not yet having released this game on Linux, and I'm realistic enough to realize that it's exceedingly unlikely for this particular game to ever be released on Linux. I think that's a shame, as the game looks like I might enjoy it - but of well, there's so many other games that are released on Linux, that I'll get over it. :)
I hope that there will be a Linux version for you and others like you. And a Mac version too. It seems like an interesting game, and not a small budget game either. Maybe to expect a Linux (and Mac) version is not unreasonable at all. If they have the resources to make a 12GB game then they probably should have the resources to make different versions for platforms other than Windows.
