Now that GDC 2015 is over and quite a list of AAA titles are coming to Linux/SteamOS. I woondering if anything has changed regarding a Linux version of LoG2 or is that still an unknown? I saw the Mac version is now in beta, congrats on that.

Just to add my 2 cents here about my views for a Linux version:

I've bought Grimrock 1 back when it was on Humble Bundle and the Linux port was the selling point for me, I played it loved every moment and even rebought it on GOG.com when it included the Linux version. I have fond memories of Stonekeep and Almost Human managed to bring them back to the modern age.

With the above experience in mind I assumed AH will support Linux with LoG2 as well so I bought it in good faith on release day, that one day a Linux version will come. It is very disappointing however to see that most dev comments point to an uncertain fate for the Linux version and honestly I don't see the reason:

1) Linux users are not much behind Mac.
2) You created an OpenGL renderer for Mac.
3) The Linux community is bigger than you might think, Steam may report 95.68% Windows, 3.23% OSX and 1.02% Linux but it doesn't mean it stops there. GOG.com has a big community and some of them are Linux users and don't use Steam at all.

A Linux version of LoG2 would be very much appreciated by your fans and Linux gamers alike. You've come this far, please consider making that one more step.

Not really.

Assuming that the available hard- and software is developed enough the next logical step would be iOS and Android ports.
