Yes, I know this is a repost, but the thread got lost like as unfindable as my googolapeiroplex namesnipe in Googol.
Anyway, Linux is now most popular by computer usage (http://web.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=176523329), so now you should finish making Linux version.
Linux can be actually better than Windows and/or Macintosh (including me).
Linux is now a big deal, start making apps for it! Starting from Debian(+Ubuntu(+Mint))), if you can not make an universal one.
About the roblox-linux-wrapper, the player crashes after 3-10 seconds.
Simply finish making it and release it!

I saw nothing about Steambox, quote.
There are no problems now, they should finish it, period.

So what? Linux is surely still outgrowing.

Majority of computers run Windows
Linux is obviously trash because Roblox doesn't care about it and neither do most people I know.

ok what i said was a bit harsh, but Windows and mac are more important and should be focused on first |

>defying the facts
"Linux is obviously trash because Roblox doesn't care about it and neither do most people I know."
What if they forgot Linux? There are a lot of stuff which may put Linux over Windows.

Here is my response to the original thread. It has not changed:
--------------------------------------------------------------
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. |
