Broforce Is Not Coming Out Today For Linux

I'm pretty sad about this, as the last trailer for Broforce specifically mentioned Linux as a platform. Checking their Steam forum, it seems they haven't even begun to build and test it yet.

You can see the trailer here:

At the end it specifically mentions Linux, but with the release it is nowhere to be seen. Speaking on their official forum a developer mentioned how time consuming doing different builds is amongst other things:

QuoteActually - I disagree with you on this. We did a Mac version of Broforce throughout Early Access development and I think in the future I would hold off even on a Mac version until the game is done and then do all the porting in one go. Fixing 100 problems in one go is far less annoying than having to fix these issues continually as they crop up. On top of this, we have poor internet in South Africa and doing builds and uploading different versions of the game adds quite a bit of time that really feels wasted. Sure, it's only 10 minutes extra to build and 30 minutes extra to upload for each version, but that time adds up over several updates, especially if you just did an update and only get reports for bugs once it's live and the problem is gamebreaking and you need to solve it ASAP.

I do like Linux in general, and maybe one day there will be enough users running Linux and all our tools will run on Linux so that it's feasible as a primary platform, but that's still a long way off.

Later posts are much more positive though:

Quotea day or so to put out the major fires then I'll get a box set up for testing.

My problem here, is that if you mention something in a trailer and approve that trailer for release then it should be factual. Not something you haven't even begun to test, and that makes me quite sad. I'm guessing this was an oversight somewhere, but still, how can a platform be put into a trailer that hasn't been sorted?
