Too bad they never implemented Linux support, and can't fix their network code to work in Wine either.
Minecraft despite being controlled by MS now, still has a working Linux client.

- quaquaqua1 7y agoNot only does Minecraft work on Linux for me... on the same machine with some weird old intel integrated graphics drivers, opengl flat out doesn't work/isn't supported on Win10!! Nothing a jump drive and a .deb file can't fix! Thanks MS for having a heart.
- shmerl 7y agoFor MS it's a major exception though (and only because they bought it already with Linux support). Their general gaming attitude is still quite anti-Linux.

- earenndil 7y agoIt's more because it was written in java, and would be more work to not support linux than to support it. (Granted, it wouldn't be java if they hadn't bought it that way.)
- zfgnu 7y agoI remember that happening to me on a very very old laptop. It's because of the Intel drivers, which haven't been updated since forever on Windows so they don't support modern versions of opengl like the one Minecraft uses. But since the driver is mainlined on Linux, it's up to date.
- lokedhs 7y agoIt used to work in Wine. Then they made some change and since then it doesn't work anymore.
- shmerl 7y agoYeah, and developers didn't do anything to fix it, and neither released the native version.
