Most people know that there exist a Linux port. And many linux users enjoy playing it.
More and more Linux users discover steam, and the number of of native games are rising.
I know this game is old, and has been taken from the SteamStore some time ago. But this game is far from dead. Good games get better with age, and ETQW is one of them.
So please give the linux users the native port, and if possible bring it back to the steam store too. Steam, you do this all the time. You add old games, that mostly aren't worth the money or trouble, so why not adding a game that deserves a comeback ?

Well, it would be nice but highly unlikely. BTW, you can legally get the game files via SteamCMD and apply Linux patch. Yeah, it's a hassle but not a huge efford...

You are right. Now imagine how little time it would take to add this linux patched version to steam. Besides that, other games like Doom or Quake are still on sale. Now i bet a lot people would buy ETQW if it returned to the steam store.
