ENDLESS™ Space 2 is turn-based 4X space-strategy that launches players into the space colonization age of different civilizations within the ENDLESS™ Universe. Your Vision. Their Future.
Unfortunately, any new platform support increases production needs exponentially for the people behind it (the production, QA & marketing teams). This is regardless of the amount of copies sold for the platform.
Considering the current market penetration of Linux on Steam is 0.9% of users, we're still below the threshold at which this would become a worthwhile investment.
I was a Linux user for a fairly long time (on an old Mandrake distro — those were the days!), so I do know that the Linux community is as passionate as the rest of our players, but short of emulators, there's currently no plan to bring ES2 (or EL) to Linux.
I presently game on Windows...but have run various GNU/Linux distributions on the side for the last 15 years. With the SteamBox being Linux-based, developing any new ones to run on this platform would be a boon for your sales. Especially if Unity is already the core.
I'm pretty sure the game is being developed in Unity (as has been the case with Endless Space as well as the other games I think, which is obvious on the steam store page) which features multiplatform development. That being said, I don't know about the additional requirements of deployment to Linux, and how hard it is to pull off and test. In general I'd also be in favor of a Linux release if possible and not too much trouble.
