I certainly hope so, online play was mostly working in the private beta but now the README says:
“7. Online gaming is not supported. (GameSpy
licence not available by the time of this release.) ”
So it looks like it is just a license issue and not a technical problem like in SSam1.

Will there be any actual ‘box’ for the linux version? Or do I have to buy the Windows version?
