It strikes me as strange that this has yet to happen since the game is made in Java and already runs on Linux, not to mention that Steam has been available for Linux a while as well. With Steam OS and Steam Machines announced, I'm finding this to be something worthy of questioning and discussion again.
Yet it runs on Linux.
SK not being available on Steam Linux is one of few things making me not want to go Ubuntu on a laptop or something.
It runs because the programming is compatible. Steam was OOO trying to broaden the game's horizons. A steam linux release is unnecessary atm.

Autofire slaps Arkate.
A Steam Linux release would be very welcome for those of us that play Spiral Knights with an account that was made OR changed into a Steam Spiral Knights Account.
So whilst the standalone client that we currently have for Linux works, it means that I can only play with my weaker "Alt" account as I can't access my main character as it was created entirely under Steam.
@Above Yes you can. Click "Log in with Facebook" in the title screen and select "Log in with Steam" on the webpage. But I was still wondering why SK didn't port over too.
That sounds wacky. What if I have an account registered through Facebook, though?
I'd also like to add that I found something weird about SK running pretty okay when run through Wine because you run it through Steam but it actually runs on Linux because it can or something idk.
its funny. this game runs on java. takes absolutely no skill to put it up on steam (since its already finished). Pay me 50$ and OOO's permission and ill put it up
Oooo, we're playing slap face? I wanna play.

Hey guys, sharing is caring! D:
Krakob slaps Arkate across the face with a rolled up PC running on Ubuntu.
SK isn't big enough, or desperate enough for Linux.
