And, going by Shadowrun, they actually need someone with experience in the OS to do it, or if it's easy. They mentioned having a Mac expert, making that port, but not Linux; they have to outsource for it.
"When we added the Mac version of the game (thanks to your enthusiastic support), we did it because we have the necessary Mac experience in-house and our development environment already supports PC and Mac."
"While it’s true that we have a great environment for cross-platform development (how else could we target PC, Mac, iOS, AND Android!), it does not, at this time, include support for Linux. Because of this and because we needed to add Linux to our small studio’s skill-set, we felt that committing to a Linux version was unwise, so we (reluctantly) took it off the table."
"Our partners at Zipline Games (the creators of our dev environment, Moai) have rearranged their development roadmap to support Shadowrun Returns and add Linux to their list of supported platforms.
Don't know if you're talking about Linux, Neg, but there's an example on how it works.
