Looks like Linux is about to get its first Stardock Entertainment published game in the form of Offworld Trading Company.

A day ago this happened:
QuoteChanged oslist – windows,macos,linux

And since then the Linux content has been worked on some more, so it looks likely.

Quite excited about this, as it is a game I've really wanted to try out for quite some time.

About the game
From lead designer of one of the highest-rated games of all time (Soren Johnson, Civilization IV) comes an entirely new kind of real-time strategy game: Offworld Trading Company.

Offworld Trading Company is a real-time strategy game in which money, not firepower, is the player's weapon. Players lead their developing companies in cutthroat economic warfare against other companies looking to become the dominant economic power on Mars.

It's about time Stardock started showing us some love. They said they would bring GalCiv 3 to Linux but obviously never did.

I'm hoping this will end not being just a rumor. Offworld is one of the most interesting simulation games that had been out recently.

Yeah. I'm kind of surprised actually--when I looked into it, because GalCiv are totally my kind of games, it seemed like Stardock was a very Windows-centric, DirectX kind of shop. If even they are starting to come around that could be kind of a good omen.

They haven't always been that way
