Sorry to revive an old thread, but since the Humble Indie Bundle was a
success on Linux, it has shown other big companies that people are willing to
pay for software. As a result, we may see a Unity 3D plugin come out which I
have talked about earlier being a thorn in my side with kids websites:
"Linux is something we’ve had a lot of questions about from the indie
community, and the Humble Indie Bundle has showed that there’s a business
on Linux. So we’re trying to commercialise on something we’ve been
working on for a long time internally – we actually had some of our
engineers kind of doing it in their spare time and on weekends.
We’ll be the first mass market engine to support Linux, and it’s not the
biggest user-base, but it’s a very passionate group of people that are
willing to pay, they’re smart, and they really love the platform."
