He should have complained to the graphics hardware manufacturers and pushed to get them to release more open source drivers for their hardware. Instead, he bitches about Linux instead of the problem root.
If that was the case, no console ports would exist, except maybe Xbox because Xbox uses modified Windows internally.

Also this is a Steam Deck community. It should be obvious that all discussion around native games centers around stable Steam Deck hardware specs, SteamOS, and the Steam Linux Runtime container solution for games released on Steam, not some buggy game from a literal decade ago released as tar.gz file into the wild.

Ports aren’t individual products on Steam.

How fucking idiot would you have to be to complain about users sending bug reports. Linux users usually send very detailed bug reports, which can uncover bugs that might happen on all platforms.

Well, that’s even worse. You are auto-generating bug reports and complaining about the users that send those reports 🤦

Yes Linux users generate great reports because they care and usually are more knowledgeable.
But treat the reports cost time and work, and usually the problems will happen for the majority of their use base.
So, as the company, you can have 0.1% of your sales generating 20% of extra work that will not benefit 99.9% of the rest of the users. It is easier and cheaper to cut that group (us Linux users) instead of support.

I understand people not wanting to support Linux, that’s fine. But complaining like that guy did is just stupid. Complains about auto-generated bug reports from people that play the game and then complains about that same group of people of participating in the forums. 🤦
