As it stands the mac ports on steam have all been free so it stands to reason it would be the same for linux.

Some developers still occasionally port to linux as is without any incentive other then a wider (albeit minor) possible audience.

Although given gabes apparent hate for windows, i wouldn't put it past value to pay for ports.



FWIW, that's not a hard rule. There is at least one recent game (Call of Duty: Black Ops) that you have to buy separately if you want to play on both Mac and PC.


I think that's because it's a different publisher (i.e. farmed out to Aspyr).

It's also the same version that's up on the Mac App Store which has limited multi player functionality.
