Can you work on a Linux version for this game please?
I was just asking if you (developers) could make this game also for the major linux distributions like Ubuntu.

They've already stated it is going to be Windows only, not coming to Mac either.

What's wrong with Windows exactly? It is the #1 OS for gaming.

Microsoft porting to Linux? Heh...

Couldn't you get it to work on linux if you used wine?

Steam won't let you download games for another operating system.
A linux port would be awesome but it will probably never happen.

Why? Because almost all games work only for windows? No, this isn't a reason. Let's say all games had also a Linux version. Why would be windows still better? I can't see it,

almost no1 uses linux so theres no profit for the game developing companys to invest into this dead OS + like sayed above by someone else why on earth whould microsoft the company behind windows make a version for linux/ios.

A dead OS? Everyone who I know who studied computer science, use Linux. I even know that the university in my city only let be people study something with computer, if they know how to work with Unix/Linux. And many servers and computers of research institutes are working with linux. Windows was/is desinged for people who didn't study computer science, such that, that even they can use a computer (it wasn't so easy to use a computer as it is today). Wich also means, that can't have the control over everything. Imagine Gary's Mod as Linux and Minecraft or Terraria as Windows.
After all, I don't really care much, because I have both, Linux and Windows, installed on my computer. I just working the most time with Linux. So it would be annoying to swtich all the time, only to play a game.

ThePolynom, you just stated yourself why Linux isn't the best OS for gaming. Im not denying it IS used a lot, but not for the same purposes as Windows is, it's more profitable to release a game for Windows rather than for an OS that only a select population of researchers or programmers use.
Besides there's plenty of ways to run Windows stuff on Linux, this is mostly just Steam restricting us to what we can download.

Linux comes with disadvantages like every OS, and one of those disadvantages is game support, swap to windows if you want to play more games :D, Or hell, Use Wine or something.

I have not tried this, but from a quick Google search it seems it is possible to install the Windows version of Steam under Wine (as opposed to installing native linux Steam).

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux#Installing_Winetricks

It might be possible to install Windows-only games then. but idk, just speculation. However, AoM EX would not work due to it utilizing DirectX 10/11 features as specified in the requirements section. Wine just doesnt support D3D10/11.

As much as I like linux, there just is not enough incentive for the devs to undertake a massive task of porting the whole BANG engine.

Developers would only develop for an OS that there is a demand for. Windows is currently the #1 OS for gaming, hence that's what the developers have developed for.

You could consider starting up a petition if try and gain some support for it if you really wanted it, though this does not mean the developers will make a Mac / Linux port. They would only likely do it if they would benefit from the cost + resources allocated to doing it.

You do realize this game has a publisher, Microsoft Studios.

Do you realize that Microsoft Studios is also the publisher of Mark of the Ninja and Dust: An Elysian Tale? Both of which have Mac and Linux versions.

Would be easier to make AoM2 than port AoM to Linux/Mac, i.e. it won't happen.
