I suppose this isn't all that surprising, but Steam tells me that the backer beta is not available for Linux. While not surprising, I *am* disappointed. Does anybody know if this will be changing before the beta is over?

Hey cmcallister,

 

Sorry buddy. Currently we are only supporting PC (Steam, and GoG) for our Backer Beta. The full release of Pillars 2 will be available on PC, Mac, and Linux.

 

Sorry to all Mac & Linux users

Could you not run it in a virtual machine?

Could you not run it in a virtual machine?

Yeah, I could, will you give me Windows licence necessary to do so?

I would like to get money back at least for early-access beta backer codes. Big disappointment and I also feel cheated.

Hope I can get a refund.

I'm a Linux user as well - but it was made clear from the start that the backer beta would be for Windows only. It was even said that it would be Steam only, now it's also on GoG.

I got response form the Obsidian, they're working on Linux builds now for Beta. I was told, I can still ask for refund and that is fine, or if I want to wait a bit for Linux build.

I am going to wait a bit, to see how the game feels.
