Yes Linux users generate great reports because they care and usually are more knowledgeable.

But treat the reports cost time and work, and usually this problems will not happen for the majority of their use base.

So, as the company, you can have 0.1% of your sales generating 20% of extra work that will not benefit 99.9% of the users. It is easier and cheaper to cut that group (us Linux users) instead of support.

I understand people not wanting to support Linux, that's fine. But complaining like that guy did is just stupid. Complains about auto-generated bug reports from people that play the game and then complains about that same group of people of participating in the forums. 🤦
