PayPalEador. Masters of the Broken World is sadly still a sore spot for Linux gamers, after the developers blogging saying Linux is important to them thanks to Valve, and stating on their greenlight page Linux is a platform we still don't have one yet.
We have covered this game a few times detailing what happened. The developers have now confirmed the game is being worked on for Linux, so after all of this will you pick it up?
I asked them again what's going on and they said this:

About the Game
Eador is a universe made of countless shards of land drifting in the Great Nothing. Each of the shards is a little world unto itself, with geography and denizens of its own. The power over the shards is bitterly contested by Masters, the immortal beings mortals believe to be gods. Take the role of the mighty Master and shape the destiny of Eador! It is in your power to deliver the world from ultimate destruction – or to choke it with an iron fist of tyranny.
Eador: Masters of the Broken World is a turn-based fantasy strategy game, where the decisions you make affect the world even deeper than the battles you win.
Features
-Balanced fusion of grand strategy, turn-based tactics and RPG elements;
-Boundless roleplaying opportunities;
-Massive selection of stratagems and ways to wage war;
-An intriguing, non-linear story;
-An original fantasy world, living a life of its own. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

If they do end up releasing a port, and it's well done (actually professional, and not a money grab), they may have my respect and money then. Time will tell though.
I'm really only likely to buy it once it's on sale now though (that feeling of brand new is gone since they took so long).

Quoting: SabunIf they do end up releasing a port, and it's well done (actually professional, and not a money grab), they may have my respect and money then. Time will tell though.I don't care whether it's a brand new game or not as long as it makes its way to Linux in a native state and works like it should. I would much rather pay full price for The Witcher 2 than have a 4$ discount and a crappy, crappy port. As the fiasco with The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings indicates, I would much rather pay full price than buy it at 80% off and get a crappy, crappy port.

You are not wrong. My statement about buying it on sale, is solely because it seems like they are doing the port as an after thought. This likely means something less than stellar (although this is just assumptions on my part).

I already forgot that I got this game. I am not hoping any more to receive proper port

I have been waiting for that game a long time now :|
But I waited 10 years for Fallout 3 so I guess it is only a small hindrance.

I bought the game on sale some time ago for Windows, which, these days, I never boot into. I'll be delighted to see it come up in my Steam Linux library. Patience...also this year is Wasteland 2, and hopefully Pillars of Eternity. I's going to be a good year.
