FWIW, with the most awesome TTG build system and presumably already exporting compatible data for the Mac OpenGL port (and wasn't the PS3 supposed to use OpenGL ES?) I can only hope we'll see this sooner than a Steam Linux client!
Can you blame us? We haven't had all that much game support and we've been exposed to a greater OS for so long and have had to stoop to using Windows just for the games we love. It's hard to stay relaxed, especially when there's not a whole lot of reason why some games can't be ported to Linux (I'm not saying TTG's games are one such example).
If you want to drive a car, then you also should buy one instead of a tank and moaning afterwards that you can't use it like a car.
We don't want to drive a car, but many of us still feel forced to buy one, even though we think that our tanks handle way better than the car. It's just that we aren't able to drive certain roads too easily.
Well we're talking about games here. And Linux is perfectly capable of playing games perfectly well there just isn't enough support for it (not enough gas stations that support diesel? Does that work?).
What i really don't understand is why would you like NOT to be ported on linux (since it dont affect you cause you are a win/mac user).
The obvious answer is: Just because you want it so much! :O)
Nah, i don't mind if magically there pops up a Linux version but i do care if this would draw away ressources from enhancing the already existing platforms as those are the ones i use. The time is working for a Linux version.
[...] for the most part, the people who are interested enough in technology to be running and maintaining Linux (even "user-friendly" versions like Ubuntu) have lost interest in more casual games like graphic adventures.
I know he left Telltale about a month ago, but if that represents Telltale's view on the matter, I don't think we can expect linux ports anytime soon.

On the bright side the time is working for you and there probably will be more games for Linux in the future.

Well, that's not really a fair analogy. Linux is not a bike. It's more like a diesel engine or electric car compared to conventional cars.

Think about it. A Linux pirate with a Firefox on its shoulder firing at some Windows-flagged ships under the Sun Microsystems. That's the spirit.
And the game would be ported into linux systems
Sorry for my bad accent, cause I'm French.

I just had to.
I know it sucks, but this was my first attempt
