Announcing Indie Game Crowdfunding Projects With Linux Support List
I have been following the crowdfunding movement with excitement since the first days of Kickstarter. I find it interesting, not because I pledge to many projects or plan to launch my own campaign. It is interesting for me, mainly because it’s a new[1] way of building things and it enables projects to come to life that probably wouldn’t be possible without crowdfunding.
The thing that bugs me is Linux support is often overlooked or is an afterthough (a stretch goal in crowdfunding jargon). I use The Universal Operating System. Therefore if a project has no Linux support planned, it means little to me.
