Some of you may have been disappointed by the latest Humble Bundle being Windows only, well the good news is the developers are looking at Linux right now.
It is quite likely (pure speculation) that this is due to Linux statistics from bundle.
I am talking about this post on their reddit AMA:
So in future we could see titles like Saints Row and Dead Island come to Linux, that would be a huge boon for us as they are major titles!
So thanks to them being in a Humble Bundle we could see future titles actually come to Linux, it probably helps that the second highest payment was from a @LinuxGamers twitter account, good work!
Remember though folks, don't go buying the games yet if you don't want to be disappointed in-case it turns out to be another Unreal Tournament 3 eh ;) Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Can we count on native Linux versions for your current/next games? It would be super awesome. :)

Any recommendations as far as the modder friendly + cross platform combo goes?And you guys have to know: I grew up with the XBOX (Halo, etc.). So that's the type of video games that I enjoy (AAA).
Alright, that is fair enough. But I grew up playing games like Doom, which means I enjoy games that do not require an internet activation, are cross-platform, and are modder and gamer friendly. That is what shareware games offered then and Indie games offer today, something which is lacking from most modern AAA offerings.

Personally I don't buy any of Humble's bundles unless they are featuring cross platform games and I will always stick to that. I also don't buy any games on any sort of small promise of Linux support, I only buy games that the developers have said a flat out yes to a Linux version (like Natural Selection 2 for example).What distribution do you use? I know that it's best in Ubuntu (what I'm using) to partition yourself and create the EFI boot partition. In Manjaro (second favorite) I know you need to boot the command line installer to work on UEFI.
I dual boot but that doesn't necessarily mean I actually use Windows it's around for emergencies for me. As my computer has a UEFI boot thing which for some reason grub fails to install properly onto every single time so I have to manually use boot recovery and if that fails...well then I need Windows to fall back on until things stabilise for me sadly.
On my current Ubuntu install I manually partitioned and it's working great alongside Windows 8 (2 ssds).

Any recommendations as far as the modder friendly + cross platform combo goes?The Modder friendly part is actually the tricky part, as engines like Unity are fairly terrible for it (probably because the engine itself is in many ways a giant mod tool). But I could probably spend a whole lifetime playing through the Lugaru custom campaigns. :P
