Post Linux donation button
I've sent some mails to game devs, but I havent received any answer, so I just want to make a discussion about this..

Hello!

I've bought Cortex Command with the Indie Bundle special offer, I've tried the window's version and I was really satisfied by it. It was certainly the best game of the bundle.
So I've looked for a Linux version, because my main OS is linux, to buy as support for your work, but I've found versions only for windows and mac on your website.
Plus, I've tested a bit the Linux version included in the bundle and it's simply horrible.
I know this is still a beta, but I'll be really happy to support the linux version of Cortex Command, so please add a button for linux donating.


Sorry for my bad english

The linux version is not available outside the bundle at the moment, sadly.

I don't think much is lost - Windows version not only works in Linux(using Wine), but it's also much better than the native one.... :/

Exactly, that's why i'm askin for it...

I've really appreciated that CC devs have realeased a Linux version of their game, but it's clearly rushed and not tested.
So I want to bring their attention to that version donating ONLY to linux version of the game, but it seems that devs have released it just to partecipate to the bundle.


So, please, i'm really a fan of this game, let me (and the others) support the linux version, it would be really silly to not consider how much you can gain by including the linux community, usually linux users are gamers-without-games, so don't understimate the possibility to raise money with them.

Thanks.

I wouldn't worry if I were you guys.

I donated to the bundle (have the devs some money too) because it was a cool concept AND all of the bundled games has Linux "support"

This meant that I didn't have to reboot into Windows or run WINE (which never works for me like it does for other people).

I should have done research first, knowing that such a thing was too good to be true.

Let me show you what the mighty Linux version looks like:
