![]() ![]() ![]() I would like to point out that Robotality themselves do continue to support Linux, with Pathway releasing in April this year. Sales around that mark for Linux are quite normal, any developer expecting more must have done no research. What the linked article shows is an image from the developer Robotality for their 2014 strategy game Halfway, showing Linux at 2% sales/Mac at 4% with support requests for Linux at 30%/Mac at 50%. It doesn't really touch on Linux and HopFrog bundling Linux into this feels quite wrong because no, hundreds of game developers are not ditching Linux that's just false. To get into what they linked to, it's an article talking about problems with supporting Mac due to a bunch of changes Apple are doing. Not just that but to announce it in such an almost casual way, feels pretty uncaring about all the people that have already purchased and played it on Linux. ![]() I'm particularly annoyed about this one, since I consider it to be a fantastic game and gave it a very positive look. This is a very difficult choice I had to make, and if you are interested in knowing why I and hundreds of other game developers are ditching Mac/Linux, take a look at this article! Any plans to bring the game to Mac have now officially been canceled. Forager will no longer be available for Mac and Linux moving forward. Unfortunately, both Linux and Mac have proven very difficult for us to work with. Forager only released in April this year too.īuried in their Q&A post on Steam was this: Developer HopFrog has announced they will be removing Linux support for Forager and Mac is no longer coming. How about a kick in the teeth with your coffee this Friday morning? Well, that's what I've got for you. They also said the Linux version will see updates "but Linux specific bugs won't be addressed" however "gameplay balance, graphical bugs, most game crashes, etc will be fixed regardless of what your OS is" ( source). According to the developer, they will not remove the Linux version and people on Linux did buy a "completed game" but it won't see any more support going forward ( source). Update: Mentions of a Linux version have now been removed from the Steam store. ![]()
