Some won't play it, some will bother you to release your source code, but some will appreciate you taking the time to port your game to Linux.

By the way, /Library/Application Support is not where you want to put shared resources and what not on a Mac, that directory requires admin access.

So why do Apple say this on the subject

Quote from: Apple
If the resources apply to all users on the system, such as document templates, place them in /Library/Application Support. If the resources are user-specific, such as workspace configuration files, place them in the current user’s ~/Library/Application Support directory.

That sounds to me like files that are shared between all users go in /Library/Application Support.

Those are "constant" files that are shared between all users, not rapidly changing content like user content.  Those files would be established at installation time (with admin rights) and only change with things like game updates.
