    yes 0.8% vs super high development costs of getting linux support. That port is not easy or free unfortunately - if it was, we would love to support it :)

    A developer costs minimum £25000 per year. Often more. Might take a team of 4 about a year to do it so onto minimum £100000 cost. Throw in the building maintenance costs and probably on more than that. For maybe 500 sales, of a game that costs under £20. Return on investment is not there

    valid point, but my desperation for BEAM made me just run a VM, installing that and the For honor beta as we speak :)
