Most of those ports are being done by one lone developer named Ryan C. Gordon who runs icculus.org Here's a talk he did about porting games to Linux with SDL 2.

Most of those ports are being done by one lone developer named Ryan C. Gordon who runs icculus.org Here's a talk he did about porting games to Linux with SDL 2.0 during a Steam Dev Days event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeMPCSqQ-34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeMPCSqQ-34
One interesting thing to note is that most of those Linux ports can only be purchased through a Humble Bundle. (Playdead's Limbo is a case in point.) It goes without saying that the grand majority of those ports would have never happened if it weren't for Humble Bundle in the first place.
- pjmlp 10y agoYes, some of us still remember Loki Games.
- ekianjo 10y ago> Playdead's Limbo is a case in point What do you mean ? Limbo is on Steam for Linux as well... http://store.steampowered.com/app/48000/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/48000/
- ingenieros 10y agoI stand corrected. I last checked 2 or 3 years ago when that was not the case.
- andrioni 10y agoAnd most of the ports that weren't done by icculus were done instead by flibitijibibo (Ethan Lee), who is also pretty amazing.
