hahaha build trust with gamers? tommy you're an idiot

[Cool Chulainn]

Tommy, you say you want to "build trust" with gamers in a recent article. However, you say "Linux can ♥♥♥♥ off for all I care." I don't trust that you care about gamers for one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ second.

To be fair, Linux is still somewhat of a niche platform re gaming. (And before you start hurling rotten tomatoes in my general direction, I've been using Linux since 2000 and I love it, but it's not a gaming platform ... yet. Steam for Linux is a HUGE leap in the right direction though.)

He's being bluntly honest, instead of making false promises or excuses. Sounds like building trust to me!

@Scampfarmer That's a pretty good point!

he's still a tool

[madsen]

Why? Because he doesn't care about the platform of your choice? He's a pretty smart guy, so chances are he's probably weighed the pros and cons of supporting Linux and come to the conclusion that, in his case, not supporting Linux is the most viable option. It sucks for us Linux users though.

Also, you seem to be confusing "trust" with "pleasíng everyone"...

He's also one guy, doing all the coding on his own. Do you even know the story behind SMB's development? He barely managed to keep himself sane throughout it all. Put yourself in his shoes for a second.

And what makes you think "gamers" in this context includes Linux users? I mean, Super Meat Boy isn't even available on Linux officially so I wouldn't think he has any interest in building trust with you. Especially after saying that Linux can "♥♥♥♥ off". Team Meat is doing a great job building trust with their current fanbase, and it's only unfortunate for you that you're not a part of it. They don't need your trust. Or your money, for that matter. If you hate him so much, why don't you just ignore him?

The OP doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥. It's easy to be a asshat on the internet.
