MaximumPCMag managed to interview Gabe Newell of Valve, and he talks a lot about some very interesting things.

It interesting to hear that Blizzard will support Vulkan, but it’s still unlikely they will bring any of their games to Linux before our market share rises significantly.
It's an extremely exciting time to be a Linux gamer, and hopefully Vulkan will come through for us as a performance king.
Ps. If you want Blizzard to support Linux, see this article. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

As far as I know Blizzard hasn't updated their OpenGL Renderer in World of Warcraft since 2010. Meaning it still can be run under MacOS but certain features are not available there.
Out of curiosity I tried it out again under Wine and it runs perfectly fine, but still sad that there is no official support. Not that I would play that game again, but generally speaking some Blizzard games (like StarCraft 2) would be really great to have natively on my favorite platform.
But then again I'd love to see Guild Wars 2 above all :/

I don't know about Blizzards road map. But some days ago Blizzard requested a petition on their forum instead of using change.org regarding Blizzard games on Linux.

Quoting: MaelraneAs far as I know Blizzard hasn't updated their OpenGL Renderer in World of Warcraft since 2010. Meaning it still can be run under MacOS but certain features are not available there.We probably won't see Blizzard and Linux together any time soon. But really I don't mind since a lot of Blizzard games run near perfect in Wine.

WoW with OpenGL tends to get worse with every patch/expansion. They provide a mac specific Opengl implementation (they call it GLL). That's probably why they don't work on the OpenGL one anymore.
And the performance in Directx mode is just unplayable even on a decent PC.

Quoting: GuestGot to love Gabe, that choice of words "I work at Valve" just shows he isn't an arrogant prick (am I allowed to say that word here? )
For any typical businessman it would be "I'm the co-founder and CEO at Valve"
Gabe for president!
