Okay 505, Holiday's over. Time for some answers. (Linux/Mac)

I feel the reason people fight things like this isn't about the money, but rather the morality behind it. Time is money, but many people are willing to spend their time in pursuit of justice.

Letting things like this go without a fight is basically saying it's okay to do it. It happens once or twice and you're like "Well it's not worth my time." But when it happens again and again you either step away from society, or you stand for your beliefs and say enough is enough.

Either give up and let people step on you or do something about it.

We’re still on this? I wish they released this game soon or at least start the marketing push so we can start putting this debacle behind us. Once the game is out I’m certain we’ll remember this as well as we remember that Iga was supposed to cosplay for us (it was one of those additional achievements we got in the campaign) and yet never did.

The complete lack of information is so stupid, what is there to be excited for at this point?

Since they deleted the Linux/Mac version, I'm looking forward to the upcoming announcement of Epic Games Store exclusivity and the resulting deletion/delay of the DRM-free version (just joking... )

It'll be "fun" wasting the time of people who may still want to play the game despite knowing of the project's bumps in the road? Especially those whom it doesn't directly affect?

What percentage of people across all of these sites' comment-sections do you actually expect to read and/or react favorably?

What's your goal, exactly?

...How is that an ultimatum?

I didn't say that the act of complaining in itself is a waste of time. I said it's a waste of time [and effort] to "have fun" trying in vain to convince people who have already determined that they're getting the game.

It's pretty obvious that the majority of people complaining are backers & fans like us, but it's getting increasingly difficult to feel sympathy for those who seem to be planning to do worse than just simply complain; a couple of the same people on this thread have already threatened to go on a smear-campaign for this entire project just because they didn't get the specific port/version they wanted.  Overall, those on this path are overestimating their impact.

I know I wouldn't automatically call this project a "dumpster fire", or threaten to take the developers to court, if one of the specific versions I backed for in the past (Wii U) was dropped. Because an alternative was offered (Switch) without extra cost, I opted for that instead.

Similarly, Wine has been suggested as an alternative to play the Windows version.

Wine is very much not a "real" alternative to a cancelled OS support, at least not nearly in the way that Switch is an alternative to the Wii U.

Speaking of, as Browren showed us in this post, the game apparently ran as it is, but I just now noticed he was using the 2016 demo. I imagine the code and software at use is a bit different in the 2018 beta/final.
