Microsoft seem to be pushing Linux in Azure quite heavily nowadays. Surprised about the Windows thing. Especially for game servers where Linux is in it's element.

- maccard 3y agoThis was neither today, nor yesterday. Also, my experience of working in games is that the developers are exclusively windows. The backend services might use other OS's, but all the game development happens on Windows. When this was going on, I don't think a single developer in our room would have know the first thing about Linux. > Especially for game servers where Linux is in it's element. I think you'd be surprised at just how many games use Windows servers :)
- totaa 3y agousually video game servers, need a like-for-like copy of the engine for sync purposes and to make sure the clients aren't lying about physics calculations. up until recently there hasn't been an incentive for game developers to use/work on linux support - so game servers use good old windows.
