Hassat Hunter,
I am not bitter because I think Linux will not get a version, I know it will. The bitter aspect of the update is that it implies that they achieved a great milestone where everybody can test the game..which is simply not true. I particularly dislike that there is not even a single mention of linux in there, not a mere acknowledgement.
I supported this game because I thought it respected Linux. I know that they will spend more resources on the ohter platforms, and that doesn't bother me that much. But reading this e-mail is definitely not encouraging me to believe the original image that had been painted. I'm not an overly sensitive person, but to some degree it feels unintentionally antagonistic. Instead of getting an e-mail saying "We made the alpha playable on OSX! We are working to get it on Linux as soon as we can!, I get one that basically says "We now have Windows and OSX, which we know everybody runs somewhere! ... ... that's pretty much it, did we forget something?". To clarify, i don't and would never run Windows or OSX on any machine that I want to rely on, particularly for work; I don't run them anywhere
.
Therefore, instead of being happy with the update, I'm just sitting there wondering if the developers have linux users on even a measly post-itｮ note somewhere. And to be honest, it extends to the game in general...maybe it's the kickstarter thing, but I definitely feel like I got a much shorter stick than I thought I would get.
I'll be ok, I guess...but I _am_ sorta regretting extending my kickstart to get two licenses.
