QuoteIt'll be a native port for Linux and Mac. Warband only but we'll try to include Napoleon DLC too. Open beta will be next week and full release will be July, if all goes well.

Yup. Plus, we couldn't even take advantage of the flash sale, as I don't think it would have shown we exist. Gah.

I'm curious, what do you mean? Is it that everyone would rush onto it regardless of platform, that we (Linux) would be miniscule in number?
Or that it wouldn't register purchases done for that platform, and would just count it as an ambigous sale?
I have a whole different reason to enjoy the summer sales this time around. So many Linux titles on sale, with additions of new triple A titles! :D

The latter. We're not exactly the largest population around on Steam, so every sale identified as GNU/Linux counts. :)

I'm pretty sure Steam knows it if you make the purchase through the Linux client or through a browser on Linux. They will also know when you play the game on Linux. So the stats should be alright. The problem is when one developer makes the original game and another one makes the port, as was the case with Civ V and well explained by Aspyr in the forums.

According to icculus, what is counted is what platform you play the game the most on in the first week after purchase. Buying a game that does not yet have a Linux client therefore doesn't register as a sale for Linux and doesn't make sense anyway since you cannot play the game.

Indeed, I'm really glad we have two new porting houses in the picture (Aspyr and Feral). I hope they continue to do Linux ports, my money will keep going to them as much as I can give :)

After reading all the reviews on this game, I'm psyched! As soon as it shows a linux version, I'm getting this bad boy!

I wonder if we buy it now on special we'll certainly count as a "windows install" even though bought on Linux client, but long term surely they'd have metrics to see who bought it via Linux client and playing it on Linux.
I agree its best to buy a game when theres a Linux version out so we know they've actually done the work and not conned us, but damn... there is afterall a sale on :D.
Otoh, good to support these guys with maximum revenue, but I don't know about you lot but I'm struggling to keep up with the number of Linux games on our platform now, up to about 185 now and they keep coming which is both :) and :( (for wallet + time reasons).

Bought it some time last year on sale for Windows, so, as far as Steam is concerned, I own it. I'll be looking for the Linux version. It is a good game. No, it's not Witcher 2, X-COM or CIV V, but it's a good game nonetheless.

Can't be as horrible a port as Witcher 2!

You want to see a lousy port, look at Eador:Masters of the Broken World, which shipped with a plain wine wrapper. It doesn't run at all for many, and, for those for which it does run, graphical glitches galore. Witcher 2 is a joy to play in comparison.
