Why? Doom is now OpenGL and it's not available on Linux either.
System Shock remake heads to Kickstarter, Linux is the first stretch-goal

Platforms as a stretch goal is a weird idea. You can't support the stretch goal individually, but if the project is funded without making the stretch goal, you can't get your money back either. Of course, that the case with every stretch goal, but in this case you're effectively left with nothing.

I can hardly remember using 32 bit on my desktop. The only thing that used that for a while was my old netbook, which hasn't seen power at least two years. There is almost no support from new games. So, considering that 16.04 LTS will be supported until 2021, dropping it is probably the right thing to do.

I'd love to join (either the game or the stream), but I don't think my boss would be amused. ;)

I'd imagine that implementing DX12 in Wine (over Vulkan) won't be nearly as hard as DX11. So who knows how quickly that will come.

Pre-ordering a digital product is simply loaning the company money. Sometimes with a worthless gift in return. It still baffles me why anybody would do that.
There were a few rare occasion where I would have considered it, but instead those companies chose to finish the game before asking for money.

I wonder. Would this be a decent game if you've never played Megaman and weren't a part of the Kickstarter drama?

Nice. Now to find time for it. ^_^
Only the second time I've seen a 100% off game on Steam.

Buy games from G2A? You should just stop already, tinyBuild lost out on approx $450K of sales

Steam supports that, but it's not used in practice. Back when Witcher 3 was on pre-order, there was mayhem because Russians were trading them for CSGO items and there was talk of region locking them. But they didn't and only prevented trading. I suspect there are legal issues with locking out owned games.

Quoting: DrMcCoy...You can region-lock the key itself, so that it's only usable in Russia?

And in a perfect world, that would be fine. But the practice is that the cheap Russian purchases get put on G2A for the rest of the world to buy. It sucks, but there is no good solution for this.
