It works in frameworks like Unity Engine, but otherwise it ends up like Space Engineers Windows-only which is a shame.


A lot of indy devs are using Unity. Hell, a lot of non-indy devs use it. So that's not a big deal.

There are some other frameworks that use C# and are cross-platform. Monogame is the cross-platform replacement for MS's XNA, which targets most of the major game systems out there.


As the OpenDiablo2 developer has confirmed: cross-platform C# is a pain.

Yes, I understand that Windows is big and there are a lot of C# developers/fans here who immediately scream "What? C# can do anything!!!", but in practice MS doesn't support opensource where it matters and when it matters.
