Pangaea666: The port was terrible, and was rightly criticised.
It was terrible, but only at launch. After the necessary fixes and adjustments it worked (and works) pretty smoothly.
Pangaea666: Get a better and more competent company to do it, or do it properly yourself, and it will sell like hot cakes.
Well, I don't have the actual figures, but I'd daresay
it has sold like hot cakes.
Pangaea666: The problem wasn't that people were critical, but that they did a terrible job.
No. The problem was that there were a bunch of terrible human beings who went too far with their criticism, and that cannot be justified by any means. Just read Jaycee's (the ex-Virtual Programming dev) comments on reddit, or on the GamingOnLinux article itself.
On the other hand, and as I've already said before in this thread, using this as an excuse to punish the huge innocent majority of Linux users with no further releases is extremely lame.
