They had it planned years ago.
And this is also a bit of 'newer' evidence:

"because nobody plays games on linux"
A lot of people do. And a lot of steam developers are acknowledging this. If no one gamed on Linux, Vulcan wouldn't of been created, and we wouldn't have thousand of developers working on WIN (A windows compatibility layer to run windows programs on every OS)
"and it has a small market share"
On desktop, yeah. But on smartphones, servers, and even crockpots...
that's where you're wrong. |

The struggles of writing that word, huh?
but yeah, It WAS possible in 2014-2015, but ROBLOX intentionally broke it. Currently It's NOT possible :/ |

but there's still a lot of games that do not support Linux
example is Grand Theft Auto V, which is the 4th best-selling game of all time
"that's where you're wrong."
no one wants to play ROBLOX on a smartphone |

ROBLOX already came out on Android (and I think.. iOS) like 2 years ago.
and IIRC most of the playerbase play on mobile devices.
"example is Grand Theft Auto V, which is the 4th best-selling game of all time"
and your point is what? 8/10 of the most-played and top rated games on Steam are all Linux compatible. |

ROBLOX isn't Steam
people who play ROBLOX are pretty much kids playing on their parents computers, which are most likely going to be Windows |

https://blog.roblox.com/2016/07/mobile-is-the-1-growing-platform-on-roblox/
I'm pretty sure mobile is what kids are most likely going to be playing on.
They have an android version - which.. guess what. It uses the Linux kernel. |

and now after realizing everything you said was completely denounced with fact and evidence, you resort to the classic "It doesn't matter".

You use windows, that's fine, but you can't just say "This OS that has been growing every year and has had over 20+ years of development doesn't matter".
Also John Shedletsky said this in 2013:
"We’re probably 95% of the way to a Linux port, now that we’ve all the work necessary to port ROBLOX to OSX – which, as you probably know, is based on the UNIX kernel. I think the problem that we would likely run into on Linux is poor video driver support. I’ve heard horror stories from other developers. However, as Linux becomes more popular, I expect this hurdle to disappear. ― John Shedletsky, Responding to User Feedback v6
We could spend six months porting ROBLOX to Linux, or we could deliver other highly requested features. If we’re going to be porting ROBLOX to another platform, Android is definitely next in line. Consoles are a close second–maybe that would involve a Linux port, particularly if the Steam OS takes off. We’ll see. ― John Shedletsky, Feedback
and later replied to someone asking for ROBLOX on Linux on twitter, in 2016:
https://twitter.com/Shedletsky/status/697329764927836160
Graphic drivers aren't even that much of an issue on Linux anymore, AMD and Nvidia are contributing by making a lot more Linux drivers noe.
And to say 'no one cares', look at my group, google "roblox-linux-wrapper", look at the constant forum posts on Suggestions & Ideas asking for ROBLOX on Linux. A lot of ROBLOX players actually do care. |

You're pretty much shooting down a suggestion to port Roblox to Linux because you don't like Roblox games anymore. That kind of makes you come off as an arrogant jerk who doesn't understand the concept of opinions. |

Yes, just recently it's flooded with spam. Go back 100+ pages and you can actually find some pretty sophisticated conversations and suggestions. |

Do you understand how laggy that would be? Even with a virtual machine on Windows. NEVER suggest anyone use a virtual machine - It's literally a kick in the face.
The only way I can imagine that working is GPU pass-through - which is VERY hard to set up because It's hardware specific.
