(Citizen Star News) - 2014-04-11- Chris Roberts, after cursing windows last night during the Star Citizen Dog Fighting Module demo, appeared to put Microsoft on notice today during the PAX East Panel "The (Incredible) Future of PC Gaming". Noting that Microsoft seems to care about some days and then forgets about it others, and maintaining that Windows will likely remain dominant platform, he sees increasing number of games supporting Linux, including "Oh by the way Star Citizen will support Linux". Microsoft needs to remember that gamers are in some respects their "bread and butter". Tom Peterson of NVIDIA supported almost every point Chris made to make his point, but wouldn't quite go against Microsoft.

"By the way, we are going to be supporting Linux for Star Citizen." - Chris Roberts



Time Index 20m15s for the bulk of the conversation on this subject.

Throughout the panel, while acknowledging that windows is important, Chris was quite bullish on Linux. Stating that all the servers run on Linux and his developers love it.

Chris has also previously joined a number of gaming luminaries at decrying Windows 8.

He had surprisingly negative things to say about the Apple Macintosh, even though that will also likely be supported by Star Citizen.

Steam OS, here we come?
