Some of you may have been disappointed by the latest Humble Bundle being Windows only, well the good news is the developers are looking at Linux right now.
It is quite likely (pure speculation) that this is due to Linux statistics from bundle.
I am talking about this post on their reddit AMA:
So in future we could see titles like Saints Row and Dead Island come to Linux, that would be a huge boon for us as they are major titles!
So thanks to them being in a Humble Bundle we could see future titles actually come to Linux, it probably helps that the second highest payment was from a @LinuxGamers twitter account, good work!
Remember though folks, don't go buying the games yet if you don't want to be disappointed in-case it turns out to be another Unreal Tournament 3 eh ;)

Can we count on native Linux versions for your current/next games? It would be super awesome. :)

I still wonder ... usually, our (German) companies are ... well ... slow considering new developments. Although it's just a very small hint, I'm really surprised - far more than I expected.
That's not obvious at all. How did you come to that conclusion? Source?
IIRC, the CEO of THQ (I know it's defunct by now) twittered something
like "Oh, you want Linux support? Then we'll have a look." after many
Linux users were upset about the Win-only THQ HumbleBundle.
I'll take it with tweakedenigma: I won't get my hopes high
until they release the first AAA native Linux binary.
Ok, then you should say that in the post, and put a link. It looks like you're just making it up otherwise.
Also why else would they be looking at it since they have no Linux stats other than from this bundle? There AMA is also because of the bundle, it's not hard putting them together to the conclusion of....it's because of the bundle.
