Quoting: spacepopeIt seems Night Dive Studios (the guys who handle the digital distribution of SS2) don't have access to the game's source code, they got it working on modern versions of Windows with the help of various community made patches. Their Mac OSX version is using a Wine wrapper, so chances are they'll release the Linux version the same way...

That's what I'm thinking too. The Mac version on GOG is a Wine wrapper.

Quoting: muntdefemsWhat I don't get is why would anyone want to watch a movie on Steam? Do you also get achievements, or badges, or whatever? :huh:

Yes, there's achievements, trading cards, and badges.

Quoting: xeranasMy guess would be that 'Adobe Air' needed for some sort of copy protection (maybe?).

That could be, but they have a DRM-free version already, so it seems strange for it to be about copy protection. I think it's just what they've been using on Windows, so they don't want to change to new tech for Linux. They added achievements and trading cards recently, so I assume they're using Adobe Air to hook into that Steam API stuff.
