It's because I no longer trust that the game will actually be released on Linux after this long of a wait, and very little information about any progress towards the Linux port. I'd rather get my money back and see if the new version is working and worth it, instead of being disappointed again.
Also, this talk of upgrading systems and increasing requirements worries me, because the Linux performance may be subpar, due to faults in the game, and the devs just claiming you need a better system.
