That was 4 years ago. Braid finally got a port in 2010 for a previous Humble Bundle. Braid is just a small Indie game. Imagine trying to port some of the big budget productions we have now.

There was Loki back in the late 90s early 2000s that did Linux ports, but they didn't last long.

That was back when most games were developed for single platform though, namely Windows for most/all titles Loki was porting. Today, almost all AAA titles are multi-platform with a console being the lead platform; and lots of indie games are developed somewhat platform agnostic, as well, in order to support OS X or mobile operating systems.
