I feel kind of scummy because many people bought the game and even tipped me, but couldn't play it because SFML seems to break compatibility whenever it wants. It's not my fault, but I feel like I at least owe them a working product.
@xianc78 I was gonna buy it anyway just out of principle but it would be nice to play it lol
Well it turns out that even the Debian team is having trouble with SFML3, due to the breaks in compatibility, which is why 2 is still on their repositories.

Yeah. I'm not touching SFML ever again. At least SDL allows you to download previous versions and the current version on most Linux repros.
