Creator Chris H (fydo) on September 14, 2012
Thanks so much, I backed this because of the Linux support! Awesome!
Creator Enrico Heine on September 13, 2012
You need Linux supporters? What do you expect from a Linux Supporter? I can help you with Bug Reports and doing tests on Debian Squeeze 64 Bit with an ATI Radeon HD 6850 running the newest Catalyst Driver including finally working 32 Bit driver Support for older Applications/Games. So let me know if I can help you somehow.
Creator firesock on September 12, 2012
Linux support? Well why not then.
Creator Esteban on September 9, 2012
awesome I was not going to back this project but LINUX IS AWESOME and these game is too
Creator Stephen on September 9, 2012
Was interested in this game but wasn't planning on backing it. Until you guys announced Linux support :-)
Creator Anonymous Coward on September 8, 2012
Also backed for Linux support!
Creator wallnuss on September 8, 2012
I just tripled my pledge after reading this :)
Creator Cameron Wiebe on September 7, 2012
Thank you for supporting linux!
Creator pecanbery on September 7, 2012
Backed because of the linux support!
Creator stevie on September 6, 2012
Will the alpha and beta versions of the game also be available for people using Linux?
Creator chip on September 5, 2012
Linux support for me, another $40 for you :D
Creator Adam Jennings on September 3, 2012

That was enough to double my pledge! I look forward to a boxed edition filled with miniatures!
Creator Matt Evans on August 31, 2012
I backed before I learned about Linux support. That is just gravy on top!
Creator ChemicalRascal on August 29, 2012
Whoop whoop!
Creator cyclooctane on August 29, 2012
I agree with tnxgalaxy
As a Linux user I am looking forward to this.
But for me, real LAN support would be great.
Creator Erich Hoover on August 28, 2012
I found out about this from phoronix, but had to haggle with myself for a few days about how much to spend. I'm so excited to see such a large scale RTS come to Linux, thanks so much!
Creator elaner on August 28, 2012
Thanks for Linux support!
Creator tnxgalaxy on August 28, 2012
my wishes ?
1) a real LAN support :)
2) make sure I'll be able to play the game in 10 years, as I did with Total Annihilation (and probably SupCom :)) if it has to have DRMs which I understand, please release a patch that unlocks that in a few years
3) when the game doesn't make money anymore, that would be awesome if it could be opensources (source code + artwork), with similar plans as Minecraft
Thanks for reading :)
Creator Andrew Markin on August 28, 2012
Thnx for Linux support.
Creator Dirk Walter on August 28, 2012
Thanks for the linux support you got my money. :)
Creator Louis Bergelson on August 27, 2012
It's exciting to see this coming out for linux. I know it's unlikely, but I would love to see this open sourced. I'm sure you could get a lot of die-hard linux backers to kick in a lot more that way. Since it's being supported by the community it would be great if it was entirely open.
Creator Kyle Oh on August 27, 2012
Amazing looking game, but Linux was the reason pushing me over the edge to help kick this project. I can't wait! :D
Creator shawn stokes on August 27, 2012

Creator D. K. Henry on August 25, 2012
Great job guys. I supported it early on simply because I am a sucker for this kind of RTS, I am even more excited to get my hands on it now !
P.S. I Have supported at the level to get access to the alpha, and linux is the only OS I have so if you need linux testers look me up.

Creator Colin Clausen on August 22, 2012
marvin: plug your 60in screen into your computer, the ouya isnt powerful enough to do a game like this, especially not on a 60in screen. Thats just a -sad- fact.
Creator Martin Hlavac on August 22, 2012
Great news!... It would be great to play game without a need to reboot to another system
Creator Marvin Murdock on August 22, 2012
Are you thinking of OUYA support? It would be great to smash planets a 60in screen!!!
