Linux and macOS game development in a nutshell - spend $200K to make a buggy mess that doesn't work, get surprised when paying customers are upset"

Yeah, macOS and Linux have never really done long-term healthy platform maintenance, so apps tend to decay quickly into buggy messes that don't work.

I don't know much about macOS development, but I am a linux developer by trade. Can you elaborate further on how linux doesn't do long-term healthy platform maintenance?

I also don't understand how long-term maintenance can be a factor when games don't run correctly on launch day. I would appreciate an explanation for this as well.

Yea, not worth it for all parties involved.
