ShadowRun Returns

[raevol]

Hey guys, sorry to post something pretty offtopic and somewhat spammy, but:

I love ShadowRun!
And I love Linux Games!

If you are like-minded, or if you want to know more, please go here! This team (which includes the original designer of ShadowRun) is creating a new and very awesome-sounding ShadowRun game, and if they reach a $1 million goal, they will add Linux support!

I do not get why 1 million is the magic number for linux support. They support all the platforms: (Win, Mac, iOS, AND Android) for $200,000... they are already $400,000+ (200% funded) and they cannot even roll a Linux binary? I call that shameful.

Do not get me wrong, I like both Linux and Shadowrun...

Shameful indeed, after all the minimal (yet sufficient) Linux support is:
``Let's avoid obviously non-portable technologies and keep an eye on how our software works on Wine.''

The already avoid ``obviously non-portable'' stuff as they support Mac.

[raevol]

Agreed with all of the above, but I'm supporting it anyway.

oh, so you guys know shadowrun? Cool

[raevol]

So they got to $1 million! This means Linux! Woo!

Shadowrun is cool... but Wasteland2 (on Linux) seems to make my dream come true.

Sadly it too required $1.5 million just to get Mac and Linux.

Dude, it's already at 3 millions

Hence the word 'required', past tense. Just saying that it is yet another project that in order to support Linux must be past the magic $1 million barrier, in this case: $1.5 million.

Do not misunderstand, I'm glad that there will be Linux support. I'm just disappointed that it has to cost so much.
