I wrote about Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles [Steam, GOG] coming to Linux in September last year, but with no release yet I poked the developer for more info and the reply was better than I expected.
See their reply below:
@gamingonlinux Yes, we were playing it yesterday on the Steam box in fact ;)

Awesome stuff! Considering the positive ratings and feedback the game has been getting, it certainly looks like something I want to play.

Quoting: lucifertdarkDon't want to put a downer on this but what OS does the Steam box they were using have installed? I seem to remember most are Windows based & not acutally SteamOS.
I'm sure they meant a Steam Machine. Valve has control over what can be sold as a Steam Machine. Those are all sold with SteamOS, and as another example of the control Valve have they've commented that they rejected some hardware vendor's plans to include optical drives. Some of that hardware is also sold with Windows, but Valve isn't involved and it has to be rebranded.

Quoting: anthI'll look before I leap next time. :D Anyway the game is out on Linux/SteamOS, so I was wrong all round. :DQuoting: lucifertdarkDon't want to put a downer on this but what OS does the Steam box they were using have installed?

I feel like buying the game just for that.
