Or that truck simulator we got on Linux as well. It's about simulating a real-life activities that, for the right persons, are fascinating.

No sir I am not kidding.

How can they port something they don't have the source to? Or enhance it, other than replacing some textures?

Vendetta: Curse of Raven’s Cry Officially Announced, Big Update For Raven's Cry

No way this will fix the game up to a playable level. This game got a metascore of around 30 and according to a buddy who fell for it and purchased it without reading reviews, those 30 points are generous.
