@mcc while this is nice to hear, and not unexpected, i must object to calling this "nerdsniping" as if linux users were somehow bamboozled into doing free work here.

the linux community operates under an unwritten cooperative social contract: users co-own the software & in return go the extra mile to improve it. even when the game provided is closed and for-sale, users still hold up their end of the deal; mostly out of habit, but it also renders the developer indebted to the community.
