Turns out that 'River City Ransom: Underground' will see day-1 Linux support (updated)

Update 2: They have further clarified, again, that it really will be a day-1 release and the person previously sending their messages got confused:

@thenaughtysquid Sarah is confusing beta Linux with launch Linux. Linux is available Day 1 on Steam on Feb 27. Private beta Linux is soon.

They have now also put out a Kickstarter update to confirm this.

Update: And again, they seem to backtrack:

@thenaughtysquid we launch on Steam, then Linux follows soon after because there's a bit more to do to get it on the other platform. #barf

It doesn't seem like they really know.

Original article:
A few days ago I wrote about 'River City Ransom: Underground' [Steam] not getting day-1 Linux support, but it seems it will and the developer had their wires crossed somewhere.

The developer sent a Tweet to me directly early this morning to clear it up:

@thenaughtysquid sorry for confusion; launching PC/Mac/Linux Day 1. Cross-platform play.

Great news, looking forward to testing it out!
