So if I'd wanted to play on, say, Windows and Linux, I'd have to purchase the game twice? And sync my savegame manually?

Yeah, no, I think I'm out. Release it on Steam.

The official site says the DRM-free download includes both Windows and Linux (and Mac), just like the original game did.

Also you can run epic games from Linux using heroic launcher

Sure, but Epic won't let you download the native Linux version.

True, I usually find proton works better than native ports anyway though

I have quite a few games where the native linux build is broken, too. World of Goo came out in 2008, and shockingly still works great today. I think #2 is gonna be great on Linux, too.

Fair enough. I find usually at the point I notice I'm on a Linux build I end up switching because there's always something that just doesn't quite work properly

Garry's mod, tabletop simulator, oxygen not included and prob some others

They mostly run fine, there's just one little thing that annoys me usually

So it will be a purchase on their website.

I was a day one buyer of World of Goo back in... 2009?
And of course I want to play the sequel too. Glad I don't have to use Some horrible web store, although I had preferred to have a choice where to buy.

I hope there's a collector's edition for the Switch or something. World of Goo was genuinely amazing for simple puzzle game. They just delivered super hard on art, music and storytelling
