Well this is confusing and aggravating, it seems the Linux version of Project Cars is officially never going to happen.
@gamingonlinux There are no plans for a Linux version right now.

I pointed out a link on their own website that is still up here:
QuoteFurthermore, Project CARS will also be coming to Valve’s Steam OS, extending an existing partnership with Steam that has already allowed tens of thousands of WMD members the ability to download and play builds of the game during its development and allow specific multiplayer and social features that are only possible using this unique platform.
No reply on that yet, but I will update this if we get anything back as it was only recently sent to them.
Sadly, it's another game to join the growing list of games that promised a Linux/SteamOS version to drop support at some point without telling anyone. I've tried to get in touch with the developer numerous times. It's pleasing to get closure, but it took a long time to get it out of them.
They did at least stop taking any funding way before announcing SteamOS support, so if you purchased it once it released when there was still no sign of their previously promised support, well, you probably know by now not to pre-order.

Like they did with witcher 3?
I can be wrong, cause I cant really find any proof of this its just something I recalled.
And its confusing that the site stile says Steam OS :S

That way, developers will have to make a hard choice. Do we not advertise SteamOS and miss out on pre-orders from GNU/Linux users (especially since users will then be relatively safe to pre-order), or do we advertise it and make extra sure that SteamOS builds will be ready on day one?
In this case it probably doesn't matter since I'm not sure if Project Cars advertised upcoming support for SteamOS on Steam... but if Valve implemented this system, it would make it clear to end users if the company was serious about SteamOS support or not. Unfortunately Valve seems terribly lazy, and I doubt would ever do something like this.
Quoting: NasraIn the need to contact Valve for this situation, i think it commercialy deserve SteamOS too.
Witcher 3, Project Cars, Batman, Street Fighter 5 (?) (if we take only AAA games)...
And probably Rome II :'(
