I don't think I'll repeat all the pointers to these figures being only Steam sales, (and they say HB sales are more), that they're getting twice as many $$ as they should expect from 1% of Steam users being Linux users. And that they whine excessively on their blog, that pays out their gamers as well as show their own financial failings.

So Star Citizen has raised over $50 million, and I'd be willing to wager that 1% of the backers use Linux. (Linux support is confirmed [External Link]). Especially from the nature of kickstarter/crowdfunding population using Linux more than usual in the larger population.

So thats almost 6k backers using Linux with an average of 1% of 50 million ($500k). This is from a prediction of 1% of funding and 1% of backers as Linux sources (different people pledge different amounts). Build a game that everyone would like/love and is great, and I'm sure you'll succeed financially from Linux gamers (and gamers in general). Kind of like that Bastion game. ;P

YES!! I was holding out on buying it for countless sales because it didn't have Linux support ... I guess that's gonna change.

Try Google Forms, it automatically enters your stuff in a nice Google Sheet so that's nice.

I hope they implement an opt-in/out anonymous hardware stats recording so we get a truer picture with the massive sample size of 75 million users minus the opted-out people. (Or, potentially size of 75 million opted-in users (who only have to opt-in once, but can opt-out anytime).

Quoting: N4G170It seems that here [External Link], and if you have valid game keys, you can get a GOG copy of both the first and second Witcher. A friend told me that the link worked for his steam versions(never tried it, I bought the games again).

You're right! I forgot I already did this and seem to already have Witcher 2 on GOG (even tho I have the Steam linux beta version installed).

Nice link to Witcher 2 on GOG =)
Unfortunately since I already have it on Steam and aren't loaded, I think I'll pass on supporting GOG on this one.

I'm tempted for AI and Teleglitch ...
While it's been a while where there are more Linux games than non-Linux ones, seriously, are there so few quality Linux games that EVERY bundle has more Linux games I own than Linux games I don't?

Diaspora: Shattered Armistice is so fun! I love how you can hard-land on the Battlestar and "feel" the shock with the camera shake and you feel like you're in BSG! hahaha
Too bad I'm stuck in this epic mission with multiple Basestars (I *think I'm near the end of the campaign) but I usually crash during this mission. =( I'm also playing frantically since this is the hardest mission yet, so input spam might have something to do with it, although I suspect mission programming is more likely.

Hahaha! That's pretty funny, and good brain gameplay mixed with reflexes =)
Being a poor student though, might get it when it's even cheaper or goes in a bundle...
