Aaargh, that's a little concerning. I'm the sort of person who can't be sure about linux support until I actually have it running on my computer, let alone announced on the steam page. Same thing that has me worried about Witcher 3.

I bought it back in October on the promise of Linux version "coming soon", so they can be sure I won't be buying it again, I'd rather wait for a GOG version in that case.

Well, Crytek (the main company) has had difficulties these last years with games selling far less than expected (Crysis 2, Ryse...) and buying a lot of other dev studios. So it's not really a big surprise.
There are rumours about Deep Silver buying Crytek UK (and probably completing the development of Homefront 2).

Quoting: edoseparate purchases for different platforms in Steam? I dont think thats possible

It has always been possible, other games have done it. Steamplay is optional and not a requirement.

Can I see any example? I have never seen any Linux game without steamplay, it will probably be the first one.
I hope they will support it, steamplay is why steam is great.

Surprised to know that it's even possible ! Do we have any example of games which need separate purchases ?

Here's a big one: http://store.steampowered.com/app/214630/

Call of duty Mac edition...it cannot connect with Windows players online either, and online is the biggest part of those games.

Same. I can't tell if it's ignorance, or if they just do it because "everybody does it". :(

Any news if it will use OpenGL 4.x instead of OpenGL 3.x ?
It would great to have games for Linux with same graphical fidelity as Windows versions.

Quoting: Guest<strike>This falls into a niche in the market that has been neglected for years. I fills that critical gap before tamagochi and after the pet rock.

Quoting: sonicFutureSuture: Who cares about Mac? Playing on Mac is like programming on Windows...both sucks!

I am using Windows for now. So I think, I can say: "who cares about Linux? It`s the smallest platform with big problem of AMD driver and fragmented API. Linux has no games, etc."
But I don`t say so, `cause I believe in the equality of platforms Win, Mac, Linux.

Being a Paradox published game, I'll probably buy it (<3 you Paraodox!). Reviews don't sound good though :S.

But since I never played the first one, and they say this one is the first with more lipstick... through in Linux version and I guess we have a winner?

Hey, I guess this means I can claim to be a great old timer, although I was only an occasional visitor on here until the forums initially launched in 2010.

Pricing on the game seems awfully dumb. It's cheaper to buy the base game and then upgrade than to buy one of the more expensive editions.

Sorry about that :) The discussion is about Linux and Mac and the majority of the comments are for Linux so if they're doing a Mac port they'll probably do a Linux port too, so.
Keep your fingers crossed.
