Braid creator bemoans Linux debugging process

By Brenna Hillier

Independent developer Jonathan Blow, creator of Braid and the upcoming Witness, has said developing for Linux in its current form is unfeasible thanks to a 20% “productivity drain”. Posting on YCombinator, Blow said that he is keen on Linux in theory, but that debugging is just too laborious. Linux has been a hot topic recently, with more developers – including Valve – factoring in support for the open-source operating system.

Thanks, GamesIndustry.
