Well, I'm glad I didn't buy it on a promise. Rocket League developers have confirmed it's going to be another 6 to 8 weeks before the SteamOS & Linux version is ready.
So we've gone from "later this year" in 2015, then to before the end of December, then before the Xbox One version in February and now it's another six to eight weeks at the end of January.
@rachelleambrum RL is still coming to Mac/Linux. Our vendor via Valve hit some unexpected snags, but both look to be on track for Q1.

— Rocket League (@RocketLeague) January 22, 2016What a shame, but delays happen. It's another reminder not to buy a game before the Linux/SteamOS version actually exists to play. You have only yourself to blame if you ignore my constant warnings on doing so. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Ooohhhh, I think I now see why Valve chose this and Portal 2 to be the SteamBox gift titles :O Normally one would want two great games that are new to the platform, but failing that they ingeniously picked an old game and a game that won't be available on said platform for months to round things out :P
Seriously though, what a goof on Valve's part. I wonder how many SteamBox owners got sour over that (I certainly would be). And I wish Psyonix would be a bit more transparent. It always annoys me when devs get all tight lipped; giving the impression of snubbing the community, either out of sloth or snootiness.

Well then, I guess I'll be pirating the game once it comes out to show them how I feel about all these delays and stuff. Anyone with me?

Quoting: NyapAnyone with me?Go ahead and pirate all you want. Just don't think the developer will ever know about your noble act of defiance.
Telling them directly what you think of the way things worked out (or not) might just be a bit more effective. But then again, mailing them isn't very likely to get you the game for free...

Seriously? Linux just started gaining momentum with commercial games. We absolutely do not have wiggle room to carry out petty revolts.

Still want to play, hopefully its worth the wait it when it comes.
Steam is like 1,000% easier than pirating and its nice knowing that your money is going directly to the creators and not some 3rd party with their hand in the candy bowl renting shelf space in some brick and mortar store and taking a big cut.
Also, have fun reinstalling each game every time you change to a new distro and having 50 bugs per game and a huge mess.
