I shot off a message to my Ubisoft PR guy who has yet to respond, but why else would they add a Linux depot to Steam if they weren't at least toying with the idea eh?
We've seen other titles originally published by Ubisoft on Linux, but this studio is directly owned by them which is pretty interesting.
Taken from SteamDB:

About the game
In Grow Home you play as BUD (Botanical Utility Droid), a robot on a mission to save his home planet by harvesting the seeds of a giant alien plant. On his quest BUD will discover a beautiful world of floating islands that are home to some rather strange plants and animals.
Grow the giant plant and use your unique climbing abilities to reach ever higher ground, but be careful…one wrong move and it’s a long way down! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I'm not really interested in this game but if it does well I would love to see other Ubisoft games comes to Linux. I own a bunch of Ubisoft games that are Windows only at the moment.

Quoting: EikeUbisoft is going to port all their games to Linux!!!1!!eleven! (*)
(*) Not.
Personally I don't care that much about the mainline Ubi games like Assassin's Creed, but I'd love to see the UbiArts stuff like Valiant Hearts and Child of Light get ported over.
Still, it's nice to see a big company like Ubi recognize our existence.

Quoting: q4aQuoting: SoltrummanGrow Home is made with Unity so probably easier for Ubisoft to port than their other gamesYes! Ubisoft is a commercial game developer. If cost of porting game to Linux < profit of Linux port then just do it.
I think one of the things that makes Ubi interesting is that they're a big company with a solid base, and as such are in a good position to look for untapped markets. A term which describes Linux well, being a developing part of the game market in itself, which is already just beginning to flourish. A bit of attention from the larger players could lead to more games in future, and more adoption of Linux on the consumer level. Which means an increase in those Steam percentages.

Yes, and as much as I hate it -- for the sake of virtual historical tourism via Assassin's Creed, I'd welcome uplay on Linux wholeheartedly. AC is the major reason why I keep a windows partition -- I know that they aren't terribly good *games*; I'm interested almost exclusively in the environments.
