Transparency Note on Steam Refunds

While investigating Steam refunds, I found that all refunds were coming from Linux users.
After installing and testing the game on Linux myself, it became clear that the game was not running on the platform at all.

This update is the direct result of that investigation and testing effort.


Thank you for the continued feedback and support. This update lays the groundwork for stronger cross-platform stability and future improvements.
