As a Linux User I recall having absolutely no interest in this kind of game.

To be fair - the developer feels disappointed about their expectation of sales for Linux & Mac platforms.

This thing sells for $20? :\ StaeamSpy says that there were 111,707 ± 8,641 sales.

Is it true those versions came out 1 year after the Windows version?

So the combined 5% is equal to $55,853.50 of extra income in 1 year or $4,654 a month.

If I was a game developer I wouldn't minimize 55 thousand dollars just because my game netted $2,233,022.93 (2.3 mil)

Lets not forget that porting to Mac & Linux is the first step in deploying to XBONE, PS4, iPad/iPhone, Android, etc... when the game has those targets in mind from the start.

Let's not also forget that 1% of the United States controls the vast majority of the wealth in the country.

Linux is similar - our 2% is comprised up of very intellectual people, people who make youtube (Bryan Lunduke) videos, programmers, bloggers (such as Liam), IT's, System Admins, and people who are highly regarded in recommending hardware and software to their piers and families.

I single-handedly am responsible for at least 30-50 people switching to Nvidia instead of AMD/ATI in the last decade. As a Professional IT I would make recommendations on hardware nearly on a weekly basis.

Linux and Mac users are a cult following and highly evangelical as activists supporting or opposing specific games, apps, etc...

An important lesson that judging with your eyes or purely by a mathematical number is deceptive.

Here's a video showing off non-eclidean level design, have an open mind.

Quoting: starsaboveusI've been using the Steam client to find Linux games on the main store page, and I've only seen Linux only games so far. The only issue I've found is when I use the Discovery Queue; I did come across only one game that didn't have Linux support.

You really ARE an idiot. Your Level Of ViolencE is lacking and you need more EXecution Points.

Knowing that the user might one day find the setting... it fills you with DETERMINATION.

Framerate Report:

@ 1920x1080, MSAA 2x
low: 45-90fps, mostly around 60
medium: 45-90, mostly around 50
high: 35-70, mostly around 45
very high: 30-70, mostly around 43
ultra: 30-60, mostly around 40

I read Steam Linux Client had a download bug and to fix it enable beta channel.

No wonder so many mixed reviews when so few people can play this without owning a 2,000$ PC.

I should dig my Dual Shock 4 out of the car and see if it's improved enough to replace my X360 for FPS.

Side note -- Could porting of Square PC games lead to Final Fantasy 15 & Final Fantasy 7 remake? If so guys buy all the Square games!

QuoteNote: AMD GPUs aren't supported. The likely reason is that Mesa doesn't officially have high enough OpenGL support (the new release doesn't officially expose 4.4/4.5 yet), and it may have some performance issues to sort out. - Liam

QuoteAs mentioned AMD GPUs are not supported on this game however I know there are a number of users who are more technically minded and are running the latest git versions of Mesa so this post is for you. :-) The game runs on the latest Mesa 13 release but it's not at a level where we think we can officially support it (but it's close).

[...]

Official support will come once all the remaining issues are resolved and a supported version of an AMD driver is easily available to end users.

First reaction to this kind of idea is that anyone who would make such a thing has a disorder of preoccupation with death related to trama.

The whole concept though sure does open up a lot of opportunity for creativity, the language room on the Article looks hella cool.

Quoting: libgradev

Quoting: PublicNuisanceYet another reason to kick myself over getting that RX 480 over a GTX 1060 back in September. My GTX 680 is now the minimum haha. Oh well, I'll still be interested in the game.

Hang in there! My RX480's running pretty good on mesa git (Mad Max) :)

Agreed, just because Nvidia Specs are defacto doesn't mean RX 480 on AMD-PRO or MESA-git wont run it, someone around here will volunteer as guinnee pig I guarantee it, and if they do and post bugs fast enough they'll probably get worked out on launch week.

- RX 480 owner too
