I would like ROBLOX to support Linux. Linux is an operating system kernel which gains more popularity every day.
Why is Linux worth it?
1. It gets more popular every day, as mentioned.
a) Some of ROBLOX users are switching to Linux.
2. It has got a wide device support.
What will it do?
Positives:
1. More Linux users can switch from Linux-Windows/Mac dual boot into full Linux.
2. ROBLOX can gain more popularity, which can mean more paying users, due to habit of donations(Mint gets >$5000 monthly out of them.).
a) Richer community, therefore more games, more possible good ideas!
Negatives:
1. Only 1000 or more want ROBLOX for Linux currently, which can mean waste of money(However, some time after release it should gain a lot of popularity, which can invert the negative result).
2. Some of you may take operating system usage statistics into play, because of it not having enough users to get profit.
a) And it might not be the proper time, because it can have more users later.
Another problem is, you can possibly not be able to support all distributions at once, how will it be done then? You can start from the most popular distributions(1. Mint 2. Ubuntu 3. Debian).
How can you make more popularity? The mentioned distributions have got their own software centres. You can add both Studio and Player into each centre and profit is coming!
Hey, you, reader, I am open to constructive criticism and suggestions for this! I will not flame you if you will not support for a valid reason(„Linux is bad because Windows is better because most popular!” = invalid → report, warning already.), I will take it into consideration.

Can't you do this with Wine or something like that until they develop it?

You have not yet been counted as a supporter. Do you support? |

Oh, and support. The only reason I use Windows is to play ROBLOX, and I would like to play ROBLOX on my arch machine instead.
