I wonder since 'Elder Sign Omens' has Linux support, will the Mansion of Madness App follow suit?
Linux support for the App?
​Linux support would be greatly appreciated!
Yes it would be nice
Please release companion apps on linux as well!
You could run the Android versions through a Linux emulator. Not as good as a native app, but better than nothing.
This is how I managed to run the Steam app under linux (Ubuntu 16.04):
1. Install Wine ( https://www.winehq.org/download ). I suggest the last stable version - 1.8.
2. Install Steam ( http://store.steampowered.com/ )
3. Install steamcmd ( https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux )
4. Open at least once steam and login with your account, then quit.
5. Run steamcmd and from its console run:
@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows
login <your_steam_username_here>
app_update 478980 validate
quit
I don't know if it's related, but before downloading the app from Linux I installed it on a Windows machine. If the steamcmd command fails, try installing it first on Windows (so that the app is on your library)
6. Run
wine ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Mansions of Madness/Mansions of Madness.exe
I run it windowed, fullscreen i have issues (but maybe it's just me)
Hope it helps!

This worked for me.
What changed when I did it was:
* I typed `login` before setting windows platform. (was not connecting in the other order).
* When I started the game with Wine, Steam downloaded it a second time from the steam client.
Working fullscreen on Arch Linux with wine-2.0-rc4 with all the lib32 recommended libs installed.
So it helped, thank you a lot.
I would love linux support for this. Or, make it a web based app.
Yes, please add Linux support.
I'm also both a Linux fan and Mansions fan. It would be very nice to have these two things go smoothly together.
