Rebel Inc: Escalation strategic simulation is coming to Windows PC, but missing support for Linux. At least according to Ndemic Creations. Due to release soon on Steam Early Access.
Rebel Inc: Escalation is an engaging political/military strategic simulation. A unique game from the creators of Plague Inc. There is a Discussions thread asking for Linux. But Ndemic Creations has yet to commit to support.
Linux Support:
We are not currently planning to release the game on Linux. Though this may change in the future during the course of Early Access development.
Also, we use Unity 3D to develop our games.
According to the Discussion thread, “almost no players used it.” It being Linux. Along with “a lot of technical issues” with the game. From a developer standpoint, you can understand their point of view.
In contrast, Rebel Inc: Escalation support is “something I would like to do.” So here’s hoping with enough Wishlist backers it will happen. Hopefully raising enough demand for the missing support.
