Quoting: CyrilA bit funny as I started a similar list some weeks ago, a .ods file, to remember in one place the ones that didn't release a Linux version and/or a DRM-Free version, or abandoned ones, broken promises etc...
But to remember the "good" ones too, I think it's even, maybe, more important!
It shares the same interest of GOL's Crowdfunded Games List.

So, have you precisions about why these devs are on your list?

QuoteAs a reminder: After having a succesful Fig campaign last year, where they raised well over $750K which went up to over $780K after it finished, Snapshot Games also gained over $1.2 million in pre-orders from their own store. Linux was a platform advertised during their crowdfunding campaign along with it being clearly listed as a platform on their official website's FAQ. They went on to release two backer builds, both of which had Linux support and ran quite well. After spending quite a number of hours in their second backer beta, I was extremely keen for the third build which was expanding the feature-set quite a lot.

I ended up speaking to Snapshot Games, who gave me the news ahead of time so I've had a little time to think about this. Even so, I'm really not happy with the situation.

They put up a dedicated page to talk briefly about it, after I told them not to leave the reasons why up to people's imaginations. Citing reasons like Linux requiring "specialised graphics programming" as it uses OpenGL and not DirectX, they also mentioned that Linux drivers are "not as comprehensive as for Windows and Mac" requiring them to make "adaptations to graphical shaders" to get them working. Additionally, they mentioned the issue of Linux having many distributions, Linux-specific Unity bugs like "not being able to correctly render the video player" and input issues. I won't comment much on those points, since I am not a game developer and so I've no idea how Unity handles different APIs and everything else Unity does. It's clear Unity has had plenty of Linux issues in the past year though.

Quoting: Liam DaweTo be fair to Transhuman Design, they did change their mind and continued Linux support after speaking to the community and it was only for one of their titles. Additionally, MM from Transhuman Design is working on Soldat 2 which also supports Linux so I don't feel like they're deserving to be on anyone's naughty list.

Quoting: mosNightdive promising a Linux version of their port of Blood, then silently refusing to answer a single Q about why it went MIA. Like if it would hurt them.
