Team17 have since posted this [External Link] in reply on Steam now:
As mentioned above -- there simply wasn't the ROI that could justify a Linux version this time around. I apologise for the disappointment, the team really wanted to make it happen; this wasn't a case of neglect, at all.

Really sorry folks, I hope you'll have the chance to experience Narita Boy on another platform somewhere down the line.

Quoting: Luke_NukemIt will more than likely work fine in Proton.
Not the point though, is it.

Quoting: EikeMetro Exodus, Total War: Rome Remastered, Shadow Tactics standalone expansion, Civilization VI DLC and Spacebase Startopia - that's how a Linux gamer day is supposed to be! ;)
Is it confirmed that the shadow tactics expansion is coming to Linux? Last I looked the store page showed Windows only.

Rest of it is good news though
Yes.

To clear it up we have the info on the Steam Tracker:
When buying games from Steam, how is the desktop platform counted? From what Valve told us (February 2020), they first take the desktop Steam client platform used to buy it, then whatever has the most playtime in two weeks. However, Android and Web Browser purchases default to Windows and then what has the most playtime in two weeks. If you want to ensure developers see a Linux sale: play it only on Linux in the first two weeks, don't buy it and leave it.

Quoting: GuestSince it has been said it will use proton without wine, i'm very curious to see how it performs!
No. The Stadia port used DXVK, not Proton. You don't get Proton without Wine ;)

We don't know yet exactly what the desktop port will use.

Quoting: dpanterI still don't understand if they are claiming that "Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition" and "Mac and Linux versions of Metro Exodus" are the same thing, since it seems that only the Enhanced Edition will feature RT.
The special enhanced edition has a game engine revamp, for more advanced ray tracing. The normal edition has RT but won't see all the new extras they add in.

Quoting: RoosterWait there are exceptions to this? I thought it's in Steam rules.
Nope. There's been 1 or 2 Linux/macOS only like Call of Duty: Black Ops - Mac Edition https://store.steampowered.com/app/214630/Call_of_Duty_Black_Ops__Mac_Edition/ [External Link] and Arma: Cold War Assault Mac/Linux https://store.steampowered.com/app/594550/Arma_Cold_War_Assault_MacLinux/ [External Link]
