Well I buy most of the games on steam, because Valve deserves their share, too - for helping Linux gaming to get where it is now. But sometimes the game has a nice physical edition and it's always nice to have a tangible map, artbook or other collectibles, so it would suck if that automatically counted as a "Windows purchase" just because it's not tracked.

I actually bought it on steam, proud to be part of the stats. ;-)

But I have a question. I will probably buy Shadow Tactics from a retail store, as it comes with some collectibles. Since it's an in-house multi-platform release, the money will go the right way, but will they know to count it as a Linux purchase? How does it "work" when companies release multi-platform - do they count "Linux sales" (as reported by stores) or "Linux players" (on Steam) / "Linux downloads" (on GOG) to know the numbers?

"Not the most exciting of releases" - say what?! Day-1 buy for me!

Quoting: pbI wonder how many hours of training goes into playing as shown in the update trailer. I played for 18h and still play like a total noob.

18h? That's nothing in this game ;)

I know, thus I wonder.

Quoting: buenaventuraGOG also has a big sale, I am tempted by Anodyne

I have Anodyne on Steam - it was fun while it worked, but I haven't been able to run it for the last two years (SteamOS, Debian, Arch...). No idea when exactly it stopped working or how to fix it - also don't know if the GOG version is also broken, but I think you can get a refund if the game doesn't work and they are not able to help you fix it.

[edit] From what I see, Anodyne on GOG does not list Linux as supported platform.

Tomb Raider may not be particularly scary, but it's pretty gore, so it would fit I guess.

Ironically, Disney/Pixar games are nowhere near Linux.

With that attitude, I'm surprised some of you guys even put up with Linux. ;-)
