Well, they say it 'will run on most ‘modern’ 64-bit Linux distributions, but official support is only provided for 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 or newer'; that looks reasonable to me.
It's unreasonable to ask them to support all kinds of Linux distributions; it all depends on how well it actually 'will work'. E.g. Blizzard's Hearthstone does not officially support Linux (despite using Unity, btw.); also it doesn't support graphics chipsets as old as Intel GM45 (Intel's integrated graphics circa 2008; gen.4; last Core2). Yet I've been able to run this game on Ubuntu on my ThinkPad X200 reasonably well since beta and it's only getting better with time. Part of it are improvements from Wine and Mesa 3D (I didn't believe I will get performance improvements for the 5+ year-old hardware, but it happened last year: mesa 9.3(?) brought a solid improvement to 3D including Ubuntu desktop experience[sic!]) but also I believe Blizzard is actually fixing Linux-related glitches, even though the game is not officially supported. This could be better than some companies 'supporting' Linux by doing a half-assed port and forgetting about it.
