Nightdive Studios aren't sure when the Linux version of the System Shock remake ...

I shot off a message to Nightdive Studios about their linux plans for System Shock since Linux is a stretch goal. The reply doesn't fill me with confidence to pledge right now.

My question: "About the Linux stretch goal, is that for a Linux version after the initial windows release or for a same-day Linux release?"

The answer:

Nightdive Studios Hey Liam,

We can't make promises beyond our current plan to release a version for PC and Xbox One at this time. It would be my hope that a Linux version is released the same day, but I can't confirm that will be the case come launch day.

Thanks for your support!

For any developer reading, PC does not mean Windows and yes, I will keep hammering on about this.

It's pretty much guaranteed to hit the Linux stretch goal due to how amazingly well it's being funded, but that reply doesn't say "fund me Linux gamer". The major problem I have with this approach, is we have seen numerous times when a Linux version is delayed because of some unforeseen problems that could have been sorted early-on. I really hope Nightdive don't make that same mistake.

It's currently on $520,190 pledged of $900,000 goal, with the Linux version being locked at $1.1 million.

That's not to say I will pass on it when it does arrive, quite the opposite, it looks and sounds fantastic. I just want to be sure my money is well spent, as I'm sure you do too.
