Star Citizen Raised $148M from Fans, and Now It’s Raising Concerns

I bought into SC when they promised Linux support. All this cool stuff that people are getting to play with early is Windows-only. I have significantly less patience with Star Citizen because so far as I'm concerned they've broken their promise.

I feel you.

It's not a reason I originally backed for but I've been increasingly more linux focused so it's something I'd love to see. PCI passthrough with KVM looks to be the solution for now, but it does mean having a chunk of machine resources reserved for windows :(

Worse, it would mean violating my Microsoft boycott. ;)

Why would you think Linux support would be something they would prioritize for a game that's not even finished yet?

That stuff comes at the end of the development, not the middle.

I'm suspicious of your account. Regardless, if you have $148 million dollars you can support Linux whenever you damn well please.
