Probably, you can ask them if they plan to sell their games in the different stores.
Personally, I am happy that one Runesoft is planning to port this game to Linux. Many of us remember that nine years ago there were not enough pre-orders, and they decided to cancel their plans to port Chicago 1930 to Linux.
""[theres another programmer]doing a Mac port, but the game uses the same library code as Robin Hood did, so hopefully when hes done porting it to the Mac, I can do a Linux build. I must stress I havent been asked to do this yet, but undoubtedly I will as it should be an easy quick job.
We are also planning to sort out RH as you may have noticed, the installer is rather bad and theres a few other glitches Ive been told, especially if you use a newer build of SDL. They were found by a guy who is working on a LinuxPPC port of the game, so when hes ready with that, we should be sorting out a better installer etc for the game."
