Sales Statistics From Super Win the Game, All Platforms Did Badly

4% vs 6.25% on mac? That's huge! I bet a lot of those sales are from the alternative arenas (ie non-Steam) and that's where Linux gamers more often hang than Mac gamers (pure speculation of course).

Either way, if we reached 4% on an average Steam release I'd pop a cork and do a toast for a significant step forward.

... And when we reach 10% I'll buy y'all a beer. :)

Still I'm glad I bought it, cause it's one release we should be happy was ported.

Quoting: ricki42When you connect it using a wire, it powers and communicates through the wire. You can choose whether you want to use it wired or wireless.
The perfect solution.

Wired? Seriously? A WIRED controller in 2015? For a livingroom "console-PC"? You got to be kidding me, and kidding me hard. That cable must go. Please tell me this is a prototype or something.
