I wanted to proudly answer the question "Which of these retailers did you use to buy your Linux games last month?", but there's an option missing: Real boxes in the real life market around the corner!
Admittedly, that answer will not be chosen very often, but I think it belongs there just for the beauty of the fact that it is possible to do that. Pillars of Eternity it was, btw.

I own lots of consoles, but I use my PC more than any of them.
This month I bought a Savage Lands four-pack.. does that count as one game or four? :o

To be honest, I don't know! That's the problem with these surveys, either I include every possibility and make it super confusing, or keep it simple but have some things that can't be quantified.
Also, would the people receiving the games as a gift count that as a purchase? That's why my general policy is to leave this kind of stuff out and assume that the different subjective things will iron themselves out through averages :)

This survey needs a "AMD (Integrated)" option under graphics hardware.

I'd say everybody getting one of these four should consider it one new game.

I consider my Raspberry Pi a console and I use it to play everything below N64. I've been enjoying it so much I haven't really touched steam for the last couple weeks except to check in.

Is there a view of the statistics over time?
It would be interesting to see the distro migrations through the months, and also the amount of games bought along the year.

A games console? Does an original Game Boy count?

Yup, I've been considering making that distinction in the survey for a while now. I'll add it in next time!

Yup, there is. I usually put that up a few days after the actual survey. The graphs are all plotted against time on a monthly basis. You can use the search bar to find older results, though with the distros it's actually not all that interesting really. Might have to wait a whole year or so before we really see any patterns there.

Yeah, why not :). Was going to add a seperate handheld answer but didn't want to add too many options.

Where is the option: "No, I don't have a console, but I'm considering buying a SteamBox when they come out."

Funny thing: I've got a PS Vita, but I use it more for surfing the web around the house than for playing games. I'm also planning on buying a Pandora soon, and I'll try my hand at writing a review, if it hasn't been done yet.

I had to say yes to the console question, but only because of the Sega Genesis we got at a thrift store in 2008. To be fair though, it has seen some use over the past few months.
All of my Linux purchases in May were GOG.com DOSBox wrappers. :|

I'm using a RasPi instead of the older consoles. Needs less space, and I can store the consoles properly or present them in a show case :).

Well, it depends. But don't make it that complicated xD. You have bought four games, so count it as four.
