I tried submitting this through your submit link but it wasn’t sending properly so I am posting this here hoping you see it.
Star Citizen (another success story of kickstarter) has a poll on their website to gauge interest in other features to add to the game. They are using CryEngine 3 and one of the poll items is on Linux support. They have mentioned that they have talked to the CryEngine team before and they might/might not already be working on a Mac/Linux port for the engine BUT if the Star Citizen team get enough request, they will push the CryEngine team harder. Here is a link to the poll:

And here is the Ubuntu Vibes article:

I am trying to spread this information around as to put more pressure on the CryEngine team.
