Linux is more important than a PlayStation.
After all, Linux master race.

I already support this, by now ROBLOX is CLEARLY CAPABLE OF PUTTING IT ON LINUX! If they put in on andriod, then put it on Linux. =L They ban Linux users for some mysterious reason yet do not do this to Andriod users or Xbox One. |

Shedletsky said they're 90% done with a Linux port, but there are three major things I think are stopping them:
EFFORT - An executable file works on Linux OR Windows, it can't work on both. That means they have to recode the game to work on Linux and then release that special version. That means they're gonna have to put in some effort. They get that effort with...
MONEY - They need to hire Linux developers. Salary is what makes up the cost of most big projects. A-List actors are sometimes paid seven-digit salaries for acting. When companies do this, they usually plan on getting a return for their effort. That may not be possible because of...
MARKET SHARE - A big thing when considering platforms is market share. Windows has the greatest market share of any operating system, which is why most developers focus on that first. Then they port it to Mac, since that's the second-biggest. Mac ports are something else entirely. Linux's market share is 1.74%, and of that 1.74% only a select few have even heard of ROBLOX.
I don't see it coming for a long time. |

The reason why that small group hasn't heard of roblox because the reason why they can't play it normally. |
|
|
The reason is that most Linux users are adults who work in the I.T. industry - people like software developers, adults. It's very rare that a teen, child, or anyone like that would use Linux.
Even if they did add support, it's not like everyone using Linux would magically start using ROBLOX. It'd still be an extremely small amount of people. |

There are at least 20 million Linux users and growing, additional hundred of thousands of players should do good.

Are you forgetting about OS X?
They released a version for Windows and a separate one for OS X.

They can do it themselves, I mean they did NINETY PERCENT already.

More people are using Linux. It's not a problem anymore. Linux is the future.
"The reason is that most Linux users are adults who work in the I.T. industry - people like software developers, adults. It's very rare that a teen, child, or anyone like that would use Linux.

Linux is mostly used in servers so no. Also, I know a lot of people who use Linux.
They're already developing a Linux version so it's gonna happen soon. |

@Yoshi, do you realize that Linux has been the future and been with us as a friend to electronics? I THINK IT FUNNY that ANDRIOD IS LINUX, yet do not do a PC version. Kinda wierd. Surpised did not make it a port of the android game. They should make a STEAM OS Exclusive port or linux exclusive content. Because it is the future like 2 player spilt screem. got to have accounts though. |

"or, how about making it for the SNES while your at it?"
so you're saying it's a BAD idea that ROBLOX does come to linux?
what???
IN THE FUTURE ICE CREAM IS FREE!!! |

support
if they can port roblox on phones they can do it on linux
with the rise of steambox os it would be stupid not to tbh
pls ansr |

Android is linux.
Mac OS X is Unix, which was what Linux was based on.
Almost all mobile operating systems are based on android which are based on linux. The only exception being Windows Phone.
Also, since you idiots seem to like games so much, Steam is natively available on linux.
You are all a disgrace to society.

@cpmod Get out. Linux people are superior due to know how to deal with this. By using..... A linux to PC Emulator which now they closed off once got the TOP EMULATED GAME ON LINUX! Wine and Linux are friends. Roblox just punched us Linux users in the face for thinking it was a malware or cheat device. >=( |

tl;dr
but no linux is not master race.
pc master race

"most Linux users are adults who work in the I.T. industry"
Ahem, what about their children? Kids don't get to choose what computers are in their house, especially not the OS that runs on them.
It's unfair not to provide them with the same opportunity to play Roblox that other kids have. Wouldn't it make more sense for a free game to run on a free OS?

>get a windows or mac pc
mac is based on some version unix, and windows is crap

The minute linux becomes popular Roblox will finish the linux port, and not a minute sooner. -_- |
|
|
shedletsky said its 90% done, nothing you idiots can do to stop the port.
I never knew s&i forumers were tech illiterate enough to not be able to use linux
heck, even opening command prompt on windows is "0mg pr0f3ssional IT work lelelelelle" |
