Also about GOG and Surviving Mars, the windows build also contains the Linux (and OSX) launchers.
So if by any chance the Linux build is not updated it is possible to get updates from there (as the rest is the same).

On a side note and for Haswell users, the game is playable at Medium settings (on windows with 35/40fps and on Linux at 25/30fps @1366x768) but, at least for me, only with mesa 18+ (tested with 18.1). The caveat is that there are serious texture issues similar to the ones reported by OSX users.

Like was said in the article I'm not expecting to get a ps4 version of some game when I buy a PC version.
That said I think that while you are on the same distribution platform (steam, origin, itch, etc) at most you should only pay a differential if you already own the game, that way everyone would benefit.
Porting is work that should be paid for but the base game (assets, code, etc) was already done and paid for.
I'm also fine with getting free stuff if it's being offered :)

A request for mobile mostly, with the navbar menu open clicking outside of it should close it imho.

For notifications, instead of keeping pooling the server with Ajax requests, you might want to look into using websockets. It's a lower overhead mechanism for push notifications though you will pay the cost in up front dev time.
