It seems the president of Gearbox is looking into how much interest there is for a Linux version of their extremely popular Borderlands series of FPS/RPG games.
Direct Link
This is interesting considering just how popular the games are, I've played them myself before and they are popular for a good reason. The blend of FPS with RPG levelling and randomized weapons works really well. The graphics are also damn good as well.
The news comes from many people emailing this in, it just got buried in my inbox below actual releases.
It seems reddit wants a Linux port of Borderlands 2. I'll probably chat with some folks on twitter about that this weekend.

This isn't anywhere near happening yet though folks as Randy mentioned to a user:
@RoadRunnerdn who said there will be a Linux port - I just want to learn more about customer interests there.

So, he is just looking at how big the market is for a Linux port, can we show him how big it is?

I also no longer buy games that aren't on Linux.
Quoting: ElectricPrismIf this game isn't overly violent and just a fun FPS I'll get it if it launchnes on Linux.
Well you should probably use smaller weapons then and don't aim at heads with the sniper ^^
Jokes aside, Borderlands 2 is definitely a lot of fun :)
+1 for Linux Borderlands. Will buy all DLC and a copy or two for my friends since I already (regrettably) bought a Windows version back when I actually used Windows.
Not sure if it's my type of game, but to try I'd buy i guess ;-).
