and there is no Linux demo.
Linux demo
also, hitting 1.1m and making the linux/mac build happen is pretty much guaranteed now (11 days left, less than 60k missing), that's why I was scratching my head there.
I won't be backing it because a Linux version is a stretch-goal and there is no Linux demo.
again, wut? you have a linux demo available and you are also getting a native linux build for the full game. first stretch goal was/is linux support, and they released the demo even before reaching it, that not enough for you?
The full release of System Shock will be initially available for Windows and Xbox One.
The "Linux gamer" is such an odd, paradoxical creature.

Evidently not. Not sure what he expects. NDS has gone above and beyond by releasing that demo before the goal was even met.
ah, so you basically don't trust them to deliver the linux version and will only buy it once it's actually released. ok I suppose, kickstarter/paying for stuff beforehand is not everyone's thing.
I've backed a few projects on Kickstarter and it has definitely made me more wary of platform promises.
Just curious... don't bite me or anything, but why don't/won't you use Windows? If I liked Linux so much, I'd probably keep a Windows rig for those "just in case I need it" moments, y'know? You could probably even employ a dual boot or a boot DVD or something to get the game working on Windows.
Is there a specific Windows that afterward you were done with it all?
Well, that's a lie.
Third-party Windows applications are, in general, terrible.
