Post Human W.A.R, a pretty decent looking strategy game might come to Linux with enough requests

So , that became a new trend already.

'Enough request'

Well , i'm not gonna beg for that shit. They're seeing us as beggars.

Then don't post, but drop the attitude. It is not begging, stop calling it that. It's perfectly natural for developers to want to see something when it comes to Linux. We are tiny compared to Windows, people need to stop kidding themselves.

As an enthusiast of all things Turn-Based, count me as "interested!"

Than tell me Liam , what is "enough" term to them?

That game is one of the little developer games and if they want to sell good they should have Linux and Mac in mind.

We are tiny, yes. But not for to beg for indie developer for Linux version.

I'm all okay for begging AAA games or similar huge games but if we start to hear enough request word from every developer , that won't be a good thing.

That is an investment and that is a risk. They want to ensure sales with acting like that.

I'm telling that developers ; when you start to develop a generic,not unique game like this. Ask for Windows users: Who wants that?

They will say: Fuck you , take your shitty game and put it your available places.

Liam; if we let this thing going on. Every little to big developers will expect the same : Lick our ass for port of this game,maybe we can port it.

C'mon , nobody requested or at least with enough request nonsense; for DoW 3 and Shogun 2 (which they are huge) yet they're coming.

You can act like they're all equal but everything has a price and quality. So i won't beg for a non Aaa or non unique game.

I beg your pardon.

If they're making AAA games they don't need to ensure they're not losing on it so to me this just doesn't make sense at all.

How can you guarentee an AAA game will sell good?

Look at F1 2015. It was an AAA and released for Linux but it didn't sell well both on Windows and Linux.

So how can you guarentee that DoW3 will sell good on Mac and Linux?
That game literally had no single player and focused on multiplayer.But multi is limited to Linux vs Mac. So what will happen?

I also want to note these games have their own engines , not Unity or UE4.

This is an investment and a risk. Even big companies has chance to screw up.

So your comment is very wrong.

Ha if you are insting on that: If One have a chance to choose for begging , let it be an AAA title.

Than tell me Liam , what is "enough" term to them?

Whatever they need it to be. It will be different for every developer.

We are tiny, yes. But not for to beg for indie developer for Linux version.

Seriously, shut up calling it begging.

I'm all okay for begging AAA games or similar huge games but if we start to hear enough request word from every developer , that won't be a good thing.

So to you, only AAA developers should be asked to make a port? Because who cares about great indie games right?

Liam; if we let this thing going on. Every little to big developers will expect the same : Lick our ass for port of this game,maybe we can port it.

Seriously you have a terrible attitude.

C'mon , nobody requested or at least with enough request nonsense; for DoW 3 and Shogun 2 (which they are huge) yet they're coming.

Because that is Feral's business model.

You can act like they're all equal but everything has a price and quality. So i won't beg for a non Aaa or non unique game.

Then don't, like I said. There's no need for such an elitist attitude.

I don't care what you support. You come here making a post saying an indie game is shit so you won't "beg" for it to come to Linux. There are of course a bigger risk for a small developer to port a game to linux than it is for a bigger one.

Screw 'em. Either release it for Linux, or don't, but don't expect us to beg for it.

Seriously, stop calling it begging. It's really irritating and I will begin removing comments and people who continue such idiotic toxic crap.

I do not understand the aversion towards asking for something that you want.

This is the first time since my switch to Linux that I am starting to see the "toxic elitism" that Windows users always accuse us of exhibiting. Shame on you. If you don't want the game, ignore it. If you do, saying so won't hurt anything.

Check again my comment. I said AAA games or unique games. This game is not one of them.

If we don't be elitist , i'm afraid we can't get anymore users. So what am i doing that?

If we can grow (at least 1 percent) then i don't care but for growing we need much more top notch games. That is attracting people.

It's not elitism. Of course there is interest in games for Linux. It's a silly question, that's all.

Something developers miss is that supporting other platforms (Linux included) doesn't always generate revenue proportional to the sales they make on that particular platform. There are numerous games that I bought on Linux, liked it and recommended to others who bought it (on windows), or bought it (again, on windows) so we can play together. Those people in turn encourage others to buy the game, which likely would again be on windows.

So even though the sale on Linux looks small, it helps increase the sale on windows as well.

OK, I'm begging. The game looks great and I'm a lover of TBS games.

I agree with this part, and at same time, i mostly play "small indi games". So, sure, port AAA games to gather money, and port smaller ones too, to gather me and my kind.

Hi there !
A Linux version would be great indeed :)
For what it's worth, the game runs perfectly with Wine. And it's pretty fun actually. It's just too bad there is still not a lot of people to play with... but I'm sure it will get better when all of the Linux community gets there... :p

More seriously, concerning the development of the game for Linux, I don't know what it represents but I can only imagine it's a lot of work. For a small team (with only 1 programmer apparently) who launches its first game... I don't wanna talk for them, but it's understandable that the Linux version was not a priority.

Maybe they just used a poor choice of words in their answer

Well, for now we have no plan on putting the game on linux. But if many people ask for it, we might change our mind!

Let's wait and see
