Of course it gonna be to every platforms! Only stupid wouldn't release Episode Two in every platforms if Episode One is already released to Windows, Linux and Mac.

Well that's what the idiot guys from Atari did with Neverwinter Nights 2. Well I bought the first one but not the second ;-)

As for Penumbra, they do HAVE TO make it work for Linux as well ;-) Latest news are hopefully good though. Cool ! You'll have at least one linux customer ;-) ... me !
(of course same for Mac and as much platforms as possible )

I didn't buy NWN2 either, because of the same reasons. I don't know what was the deciding factor for not doing a Linux port if the first game have had one and it proved to be widely used on Linux (AFAIK), so it was going to be profitable. I heard or read somewhere that it had to do with BioWare not being involved in its development or some such... At any rate, *nix[1] gaming is looking brighter and brighter!

[1] In all good Linux and Open Source tradition, why lock-in to Linux-only, when for virtually the same effort you can deploy to Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS X x86(_64), even Windows and probably at least two consoles, provided your code allows for such portability... For me it would be a no-brainer to keep supporting these platforms.
