An interesting note here is that Mac sales in our own store did not go down as a other online outlets like Steam started to provide mac versions; meaning it did not steal our customers but opened up to a new market. We think it is a good incentive for other stores to support Linux as well! - Frictional Games

It is nice to hear a Ubuntu user saying that. Still, checking on their blog, there seems to have been a Desura Linux post we missed:

They have improved their website a bit since I last saw it. And they have finally got some coverage on some none Linux *cough* *phoronix* *cough* or Russian gamer websites.

Granted, it is Rock, Paper, Shotgun so it is not hard to get mentioned there, but still a step in the right direction. :)
