    You do realize that ffxiv is also win / ps3 soon to be ps4 right (why i mention that ) ps3 uses PGL which is a modified version of open gl.. Which both mac and Linux use.

    second off they do not need to target all distro's just one Ubuntu (same distro that steam targeted.) Third the differences between mac and linux while mac is free bsd fork linux is not. They share a same common ground. Hence why alot of linux build tools actually work on mac.

    last i checked theirs over 20 + million people that use ubuntu alone. Also humble bundle and other developers have are targeting linux..
    Even AAA games Cough metro last light and so forth. Not going to turn this into a what to support and not just there is a market a very very lucrative one in the linux world.
