Now if Michael has posted something like "Metro Last Light" showing signs of linux support that would be one thing. Instead he posted an article that isn't even close to the truth and when Linux support is finished, if it ever is, he'll claim he just "scooped the story" before anyone else when instead he posted unverified tabloid quality drivel and called it news. Its not a scoop if its not yet true and you claim it is.

I did not like the first, I got pissed off scrambling for oxygen canisters etc. I don't have time for crap like that, with so many other games I'd rather play.
I still haven't used Steam on Linux (I don't like many distros, and would rather not have to have a "multilib" system) but I might some day when there are more titles ported. I'll buy Metro Last Light on Windows for this though (i.e. then I'll have it available on Steam for Linux). I wasn't going to bother (leftover prejudice from the first one), but if they are porting it to LInux it's the least I can do. A game (that I don't already have) that I actually want, even a little.
A few of my old favourites have 64 bit binaries, and certainly the open source games (I compile those anyway, even if it's just "because I can") so I still have a few things I play in 64 bit Linux.

I had the same thing with Euro Truck Simulator 2.. once i bought the game it showed up under linux games, great, but got the "missing exec" error. But after chosing linux beta i can now play that game (works very well btw)

Hopefully the sales are good enough we can get the original ported as well as the novel 2034 as Last Light isn't a direct sequel to the first book/game.
