* Botanicula
It should be a bet of effort versus revenue. I'd think if you've already got a game running on Linux, and you got it in the Steam catalogue, the effort should not be very high. So for games which should sell some units (I'd buy Limbo today!), it should be well worth the effort. On the other hand: You for example already own these games. They wouldn't earn a penny with you when offering them on Steam for Linux as well...
I'm uncertain if going to publishers and developers of Windows-only games and telling them we want a Linux version helps much. (Do it nevertheless!) But in these cases, going to the forums and keep asking for Steam version might be promising.
Because I think I remember reading that this practice was automatically redlighting the games for Linux release on Steam.
Good question! Botanicula comes with a runtime called "Adobe AIR" ...
I think there is a statement from Eufloria for example that they work on a new version of the game which should then also come out for Linux.
Another game is also Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood which already has its age now - but is still a great game :) - However… there was once a Linux version – but the owner of the rights of that game wrote a statement in these forums that they are simply not planning to make a new Linux attempt. The Linux version then seems to have been made by a third party company and maybe realized with a wrapper… - but also long before Steam existed I think ;)
Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac are great shame on this list.
It's a bit of a mix. I don't have a detailed rundown for all those that I listed, but I would say that a majority are native ports. There are also a few which are based on Adobe AIR, and I think maybe one or two of them are actually WINE-based.
Well, they wouldn't earn a(nother) penny with me, but if they already _did_ the port, how much of an effort would it be to have it packaged for Steam too?
(I don't actually know the details about having your game integrate with Steam, so maybe there _is_ some effort involved, and they don't consider it worth it; maybe the SteamOS thing will make them change their idea though.)
Isn't that because they use Adobe AIR? I can't remember...
