Quoting: NyamiouIt doesn't make any sense now that they would not accept it, and the reason do not tell us clearly if they would accept it in the future or not.

There is another possibility - that the reason they stated for not accepting it is actually not bullshit at all. - ?

Quoting: SketchStickJust a friendly reminder that this was an april fools joke...

April 1, perhaps tongue in cheek, but not merely a joke - they would have gone through with it.

Quoting: KeyrockIt's almost never as simple as "click Export to Linux". This is probably another middleware issue.

Pretty sure you are right re middleware. I have been pooping out Unity games for a while now and have not had any issues with platform compatibility. (yet) No middleware and hardly using any content from their asset store.

In other news - I recently decided to give X-Rebirth another go. I have had it since launch but it was broken as hell, and a long way from what X3 et al were. Installed the Home of Light DLC, started a new game and ... it's actually pretty decent now! I've built stations amassed a small trading fleet, lost half of said fleet, found some wacky-ass shit while exploring, went pirate-hunting.... even came across some Khaak-suckers in deep space.

I want this to succeed. Steam Machines have been touted as "open" consoles, and allowing this would drive home that fact.

Quoteit would be a substantial loss financially, and it would reduce our quality of life since we would be kind of miserable

This is a dev who proudly boasted about being connected via tube to a bottle so he could piss without leaving his desk.

As for the port - I bet he could ask someone less dramatic to port it and he can spend quality time with his bottle of piss.

He might very well be a self-satisfied twit and a drama queen, but the bottle of "piss" you're talking about was just a prop for an in-game video.

Hmmm, I can believe that. However, I can't find any news sources reporting it as such. They must have just rolled with the more entertaining version of the story.

How they're going about things is bad for the medium as a whole. Their insistence on having a store and platform exclusives is pretty dang awful too.

Quoting: TheBossYou may think it's overreacting, but I will keep pointing out developers that do stuff like this.

Do stuff like what?? Tone it down a little, maybe.

Tone it down? Cheeky.

I think you're fully aware of what I am talking about: Developers who state Linux is a platform right up until release, then release without Linux support and don't mention it anywhere. Forcing me and other users to chase them up for answers.

I will continue to point out developers that do it, as the majority appreciate it. We also have people who like to know what happens with games that we previously covered.

When did we suddenly start expecting day 1 releases by default?

We're 2% of the market, and like it or not, whether intentional or not, GOL represents the face of that 2%. And if you go about this thing with all the grace and tact of a British tabloid, it does a huge disservice to us all.

So yeah, tone it down.

The "majority" you speak of is debatable too - did you take a survey?
