So I contacted Topware the publisher of Two Worlds 2 about the possibility of a Linux port and what a surprise, it's coming soon! Along with "other titles".

About
A breathtaking journey into Antaloor's past.
After the downfall of Aziraal, God of Fire, the Dark Lord Gandohar has nearly achieved his objective to disrupt the balance between the elements. Dark magic surges into the land to fill the void. Recognizing the potential for complete control over the dark powers, Gandohar starts to use the power of Aziraal trap within Kyra, the descendant of the Orphans. Despite her ancestry, Kyra cannot endure the strain. With Antaloor already in his clutches, Gandohar concocts a new plan from his stronghold in Oswaroth. There are still those who struggle against the tyrant, hoping to shift the balance of forces in their favor. The fight for Antaloor continues...
Five years have passed since dramatic events brought the whole world to the edge of the abyss. The hero is a prisoner in the dungeons of Gandohar's castle. His hopes of saving his sister vanished with his freedom. Just as despair threatens to overcome him, hope comes from where he would have least expected. The Orcs, a race the hero had always hated, have put together a rescue squad that frees the hero from his bonds. He emerges into a land desecrated by evil. He embarks on a journey to shed light on Gandohar's dark past, hoping to discover a weak point in his enemy's defense. If he fails, he will lose his sister forever.

This game and the 'pirates of the flying fortress' DLC are currently on sale at indiegala.com as part of a bundle which includes Crusader Kings 2 and Knights of Pen and Paper for $5.69 minimum (there are links in the sales section).
Of course, it's better to wait for a port to actually materialise rather than buying on the strength of a promise that might not eventuate.
That said, I'd buy that bundle for Crusader Kings 2 alone if I didn't already own it!

That's because there's a Linux Stigma. The only way to Sell Linux is to hide Linux. Linux has this stigma of being inconvenient, difficult, irrelevant and a toxic community.
You sell Linux in mobile by calling it "android" and make everything brain dead simple.
You sell Linux in the Enterprise by making it a package in a solution like Red Hat.
You "sell" Linux on the Desktop by making it Ubuntu.

Indeed. You cannot find 'Linux' anywhere on ubuntu.com for quite some time now. It has it listed only as a meta keyword ;)Anyone else got that 'whatever you do, don't call it Linux' vibe?

just a question here:
"we are working on a steamos version"
this can mean 2 things not ?
1- we are working on a linux version but we don't like to use the word linux
2- we are making it so that this pc game which is normal keyboard/mouse controlled is now really well playable with a controller so it works great when you stream it to steamos (so not necessarily a linux version)
maybe am to sceptical.

I'm gonna say more 1, less 2. Valve is trying to build a brand here, so they'll probably want people to say SteamOS as much as possible to get the word out about it.
If it's 2, then some people are being so cheesy with their wordplay, it almost borders on false advertisement. If they say it runs on SteamOS, then that should mean it runs natively on SteamOS. Not "Yup! That's right, folks. It runs perfectly well on SteamOS...if you've got a fully functioning Windows PC located elsewhere in your house to stream it off of. Hehehe :shifty eyes:".

I would imagine that any company, right now, that is "porting to SteamOS" is making is Linux compatible.
My main reasoning being that said streaming service does not currently exist so companies are less likely to know exactly what the requirements for it are going to be.

Always good seeing more companies supporting Linux. Did he mention it was coming soon in a separate email or something?
By the way, GOL keeps logging me out even though I told it not to.

Also, Windows has a similar stigma in a sense to sell a Windows game, you have to brand it "PC". (to a degree) When Games that are popular on console, they say "PC" instead of "Windows". So, in a way, they hide the Windows name. (at least in a good portion of the time)

Well, in my opinion this streaming feature is not something the companies will have to adapt their games to run with, the job will be made by Valve, so, in this case, I think they are talking about a native port.

SteamOS = 3 things: linux + living room (big picture) + steampad
So when a company says steamOS, you know they will be working harder to optimize for the whole combo.
Is not that anyone is against linux. When they port or make their engine compatible, they already know is linux.

I think it's gonna be a linux port. If people wanted streaming, then they could just use Onlive. I see the only real purpose of streaming is for those people who have low end computers that cant play those new games. If all we did was stream games, then what would the need be for upgrading hardware on your desktop computer. I think sales for computer hardware would go way down.
Also, why make a steambox with high end power for streaming? When i use to stream Onlive on a laptop that was 5 years old. Dual core processor that ran at 1.2ghz, with 1gb of ram, just fine.

Thinking about it, usually consoles get the games like a month ahead from Windows, and other PC OS, so, when the game is out on SteamOS it is out on Linux, which means we get games before Windows XD

Funny cause all games are made on PC. Its like the battle between console and PC..people are all like 'oh consoles are better'...and im like..listen..you wouldn't have your console games if you didn't have PC..so shut up.

You just need a box to decode the signal, and send movement data back to Onlive.
SteamOS streams over your network from your own Windows based PC. It's all coming from your stuff, straight from your house. You'll still need a nice, powerful machine if you want to play any high end games with the settings jacked up to max.

No! YES ! NO .. can't be! YES!
Gotta' love that! Bought .. as soon as they bring it for SteamOS. Lately I complained about too few RPGs on Linux :).

They use SteamOS as a term for Linux support. The reason may be that they will support SteamOS officially, but not other Linux distributions. You can not support all Linux Distros around the world as a commercial company, so they limit that one to SteamOS. If you get it running on other distributions you're support-whise on your own. That was to be expected, and will be done by most publishers in the future. But we'll get all that running - even without SteamOS.
