The only reason I bought these games is that they were available for #Linux. Thanks Gary Newman.

On one hand, I can see his point: had he known it was going to be so much more work, he wouldnt’ have done it in the first place. But on the other hand, if you’re going to choose to support an additional platform… then support it all the way.I played Rust and it’s one of the few games where I thought, “nice open ended game!” but seriously, Linux does get the short end of things when it comes to GPU support, game engine support, and testing coverage.I would counter the whole 1% platform argument with this: you are trying to break into segments of the market. Just because you flipped the sign to “open” for Linux, doesn’t mean people will suddenly jump on board… especially since it costs real money and it’s a gamble. (Anyone remember Loki Games?) It’s the job of the platform/engine/developer to strike out and market to the people to pull in more users.This “well, they didn’t all come and jump on the band wagon, so why bother spending resources to test it” line of thinking is why it isn’t successful. arg Sorry, SO much frustration when it comes to Linux and gaming that goes back to the ’90s. Yeah, I bought Rust as well. It was seriously the only reason why I joined Steam.

The title of this makes it sound like a nationalistic rant, but it actually turns out that colocating your engineers and production facilities results in better products. The author ascribes this to effective communication of design intent, which is almost definitely part of it, but we need more scientific analysis of these causes if distributed organizations are going to meet their potential.
