Glad you like it. Our plan is to have SS4 on Linux day one. Enjoy!

Boom!

Yes, we always do. Full campaign coop was always an integral part of all SS games.

(*) As developers and as gamers. What did you think?

It is a tricky question. Linux's market share was historically miniscule. Now it is just small. But it is improving. But it is not a clear cut:

  • Linux users will on average spend more for a game than Windows gamers.
  • Just being present on Linux brings more exposure, which is good for marketing even for other platforms.
  • It is not the same when you release a new game with day-one support for Linux as when you retro-fit it. While numbers for Linux are good, we are looking forward to seeing even better ones when SS4 launches with Linux on day one.
  • If you didn't support Linux on day one, or it has some problems comparing to Windows, then some (primarily) Linux users are hidden in the list of Windows users. They have probably already bought the game when it didn't support Linux, and played it through on Wine or dual boot. But don't underestimate the power of good will you get by actually trying to support Linux correctly.

I guess that Garry has a specific case in that he is never releasing a new game, so it is more difficult for him to get a momentum. Shrug
