DLC announced for Crosstalk will serve as a public roadmap during the Early Access phase of development. Incidentally, another benefit falling out of that is that players will be able to pick what they want to use and preserve storage on what they don't.Most DLC will be free.

Hello,I decided to remove the announced Linux support for Crosstalk. The latest build doesn't link statically, and I will not ship it with dynamic linking except where necessary, such as with the Steamworks SDK, which is only provided as a shared object.Distros mostly ship shared objects and I am not recompiling every dependency right now. Linux support is thereby postponed.Thank you
