Homeworld Remastered Collection

I just saw the new Homeworld Remastered pack appear on Steam and got excited for a moment as in the description it stated "with compatibility for modern operating systems". Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that the "systems" part meant Windows only. I assume they mean it works on Windows 7 and Windows 8, which is even more of a shame as Aspyr did a Mac version of Homeworld 2 in the past. What a great expansion to new markets this release adds....

:D I'm very very happy if this game is ported. I think the original homeworld is one of the best games that I have played. This Steam Community Thread are very populated with people demanding linux support

And it was published by gearbox, who made borderlands, and IIRC, homeworld remastered uses opengl. Dont know why they wouldn't port it to linux, as there are not many good space strategy games.

Too bad about not seeing Homeworld, yet. I have fond memories of that game. Are there any other games that do support Linux gamers, that have the same Homeworld-feel? I have tried several space games, but none have that "fleets of ships floating in air, attacking in swarms" feel that I got from Homeworld. These days, I would have thought we would have many games with that same style!
