I have been really looking forward to playing Legend of Grimrock 2 soon. Unfortunately, the game is not available for Linux yet, and as it seems it's not certain whether we will see it on Linux at all. I have emailed the developers asking about Linux availability, and this is the response I got:
Juho Salila (Almost Human Games)
Hey Kamil,
Unfortunately we can't promise a linux port at this moment.
It's up to you to deduce how likely we are to see a Linux version in the future, but it certainly won't be soon.
Maybe, if there's a strong support under this article, I can send a link back to them and it might convince them a bit more that the demand is here. Or maybe you have better ideas. Anyway, this is really bad news for dungeon crawling fans. :( Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

told everybody to buy it.
I sure hope they port, as the saying goes "no tux, no bux". I'm okay with that saying.
back from a clear commitment to Linux?
Well, it could also be that "Almost Human Games" never were really committed
to Linux and the port was only necessary to get covered in the Humble Indie Bundle.
With the success of LoG getting covered in a HiB might not be required anymore and,
thus, a Linux port is not a high priority anymore.
I know, I'm a bit pessimistic latley.
Wine gave me terrible performance and random crashes that, because the game doesn't auto save, meant I had to cling to the few crystals dotted about the more open world map.
Is not good to have your first game for all platforms and then develop your 2nd game for just one platform.
Anyway I am not a game developer and I will never understand the way they are thinking but if I was I would support from the start all platforms :><:
(Why did registering with my Steam account on an English site take me to a sign-up screen in French? I'm grateful it wasn't in Norwegian.)
I have played and bought the first one when it was released on Linux. It reminds me of "The Eye of the Beholder" series of old. Great game!
Valve is strangely silent lately about the development and futur of SteamOS... Anybody has hints about what's to come?
Valve is sure taking their Time. ;-)
Since the beggining of the project, when they release an update to Alchemist, they immediately start a new round on Alchemist-beta. Right now, it is stopped to Update 145 on Alchemist.
What does that mean? SteamOS is almost complete? What about the online video service that Valve promised (Netflix and the likes)?
And now developers that drops Linux support... It makes me wonder...
Nevertheless, I won't make the same mistake again.
Unfortunately I can promise you just lost a fan.
Well, at least for classic adventure lovers (like me), there is maybe the best news in this month. Ron Gilbert (creator of Maniac Mansion and co-creator of Monkey Island) has just announced a campaign on Kickstarter. Thimbleweed Park will be available on Linux! And I have absolutely no doubt that this will get funded! ^_^
