Total War: WARHAMMER might not see a day-1 Linux release

Could be sad news ahead for strategy fans, as the original Total War: WARHAMMER announcement listed SteamOS in the platform list, but their latest messages don't seem too confident.

The original announcement said this:
QuoteTotal War™: WARHAMMER® for PC, Mac and SteamOS, coming soon.


Now their recent release date post doesn't mention Linux, and it only has a Windows icon.

After searching I came across this post:
QuoteTotal War: WARHAMMER will be out on PC, MAC and Linux next year but not necessarily at the same time. If I get any indication of dates I will post back to this thread.

They didn't sound too confident then, and it seems it's possible it won't be on Linux for day-1.

I will keep you posted if I see anything more. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

My enthusiasm for this has dropped significantly today after discovering via Total War: Attila that the Total War games are not cross-platform multiplayer capable. Boo.

Taken from Attila's FAQ page for Macs...
QuoteQ: Can I play multiplayer with a PC Player?
A: Unfortunately there is no cross-platform multiplayer functionality, though you can play with other Mac users (Steam version only)

I really, really wish that dev/publishers would drop the "PC/Mac/Linux thing and start using Windows/OSX(MacOS)/Linux instead.

My Personal Computer is still a PC, even though it runs Linux.
