While rating your games I came across several written using Unity3D, which is understandable as it looks like a modern 3d Flash on steroids. However, there still is no Linux player available, so go and vote for them to write one<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Most of you probably don\u2019t use Linux, and might be thinking \u201cwhy should I care\u201d. But you should. It\u2019s about freedom of choice as much as about anything else. One might think that people should be free to choose the operating system they like, without being punished by third parties. Ok, I know it\u2019s not that simple, porting to a new OS requires an effort and some companies will have to make a cost\/benefit calculation, while many others can afford to be selfless most of the time.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0 will always try to make my games multi-platform, even though I think Windows is crap and that Apple is an awful company (with good products :)). Not because I think I can sell more copies, but because of you<\/em>. You should be allowed to use the OS you chose, not the one I do.<\/p>\n
