    I understand it’s easy to make a port in that way. But some Linux ports are straight up worse than running through Wine, so it’s also important that the devs put some effort beyond just clicking a button.

    I fear this is because even many CS people don’t think of linux as an option because all they ever knew was windows and mac.

    It should be ilegal to say that a game is available for PC when it’s only available for Windows or Mac.

    P.S: Why do I see a lot of times “Aviable on PC and Mac” Okey so now Macs aren’t pc or what?
