1) Or a dev could literally think about their destination before beginning to code and selecting the games libraries, and causing a dependency entrenchment.
2) Or a dev could code in a Interface class to abstract library access to make porting as simple as dropping in a new Interface to Linux/Mac libraries.
3 ) Or a dev could maintain a optimistic view without falsely coercing a crowd to gather excitement for X game.
Nothing personal, but when a dev fails to release for Linux this is what crosses my mind
"I don't know how to code outside Microsoft Visual Studio 2015",
"I don't know how to Linux - looks like DOS to me, choice is confusing",
"Android is Linux? What?"

Quoting: EikeQuoting: Avehicle7887Ehhh, not sure why devs keep making these kind of deals, if they were lacking funds I can understand that but on the other side of the coin, there are alternative ways of obtaining funds such as kickstarter.
I'm sure they've had their reasons but looking at the bigger picture here they're leaving 3 platforms dry which could mean some good profit, especially from the PS4 side.
It's probably safe money versus taking a chance.
I understand taking the safe side.

This is pretty sweet, I love open source engines re-implementing classics.
Looks like Republique is no longer getting a Linux port

"disdain found for Linux among the Japanese games industry"
Is that a thing? Mighty No. 9 is on Linux and the Japanese seem to always get wet over anything american - there's nothing more american than Steam Machines which were created in Central California, USA - Also - there are a lot of Japanese in California so I'm pulling my dafuq Jackie Chan face right now in true curiosity.
As for Republique not havnig a Linux version I'll say it again. Bad Programmers always will say something is "impossible" when it's simply too hard or inconvenient.
Good programmers would have employed Object Oriented Programming and abstracted dependencies on Middle-ware into a Interface Object - they do this with MySQL access in PHP all the time to add comparability with other databases.
But when your code is dank spaghetti that was fandangled by the free Intern and has no OOP yeah I could see how it would be hard. Of course management is always hounding "Get it done Faster" and sometimes making software decisions that they have no business making "Use ZYX Plugin because I read on a blog that it has X feature" and the seasoned coders are like "uhhh...... but....." then because the whole thing is rushed it never is baked right and at the end it's a heap of spaghetti because it was never done right to begin with.

How to make a game trailer in 2015:
1 ) Insert 3d cinematic that looks nothing like gameplay
2 ) slow motion / fast motion
3 ) cut to silence
4 ) Loud BwwaaaaaaaHHHH Sound
5 ) Profit
6 ) ..... What did I just buy?
