I'd get that argument when the question is whether to make a linux version or not (using the 'movie model'). But my non-understanding was regarding Uber's refusal to spend the work day of one developer to do the right thing (you don't even need a trained developer for most of that work). If it doesn't work on either version of Debian, it is pretty safe to claim that it won't work on Ubuntu, now or soon in the future.

My principal point is that games on linux can be made just fine, but it must be done differently than for propietary systems. If you try it without changing the approach, there will be pain. And people will complain. Rightfully so.
