I can't commit to a linux release, but for the record it is a definite possibility. It depends largely on testing and how much linux based interest there is.

Cool!  Sadly, I'm sure you're aware that the Linux gaming market is a tiny fraction of the Windows market so you may not get a feeling of much interest.  I think that games supporting Linux have largely been the result of ease of portability; for example, games running on the Unity engine are extremely easy to port (apparently there's literally an "export to Linux" button).  Some devs who have done it will say it wasn't really worth doing, others have said that they've had more Linux customers than Mac customers.  Your mileage may vary. ;)  As far as Steam is concerned, estimates put the Linux market at between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 accounts.

Looks interesting, but no mention of a Linux version so I'm out.

Man alive, Huw, will you just get a Windows box already?  You're like the only damned person in the world that uses Linux to game.   :idiot2:

I see him marking titles off his list all the time just because he only wants to use Linux.  Shooting himself in the foot, the gaming addict he is.     :crazy2:

Not really; the Linux gaming market is already large enough that I'll never play 'em all.  I don't mind missing some games.  I value my right to privacy, security, freedom, customisation, and just generally having my PC do what I tell it to than playing every single game ever made! :)
