When looking at Kickstarter game-projects the base goal often says the game will be made for all three PC, Mac and Linux.

As I do not know enough about programming I would like someone who knows to explain: is it nowdays whitout problem to make a game and whitout much work get a PC-port, a Mac-port and a Linux-port?

If so why is it that Steam that tries to promote Linux  for its Steam Machine seems to struggle getting all games in a Linux-port?


No it isn't without problems at all. There is a significant extra costs in supporting all 3 platforms, especially on the graphics or multithreading side...

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
