Guys, stop trying to convince yourselves that we're significantly bigger than 1-2%. We are not, there's not a single statistics anywhere in the world (browser stats, client stats, workplace stats, whatever stats) that indicates that the Linux desktop in general surpasses 2%. Not one. The only communities we are bigger, are in certain professional science, educational and computing communities.

Now why on earth should Linux be anything different as a gaming platform. It's an absurd claim. In fact we should be amazed we even reached the first 1%.

Let there be no doubt: We need (as in: absolutely fully depend on) the Steam machines to succeed in order to change this in the short term. Without a success of the Steam Machines we may look at a decade ahead where we struggle with reaching even 5%, let alone beating the Mac share.

So just stop. Put that discussion to rest and bury it. The Steam stats are pretty much 1:1 to any other stat out there.

Oh man this will be an interesting showdown: VP versus Feral.

Go Feral, go! :-)

Well, they all use the same engine, maybe even the exact same, so it may not be that surprising after all.

I just hope it's a native port, hopefully even with the bugs ironed out. But... I don't hold my breath.

Quoting: melkemindSaints Row 2's location (Stillwater) was definitely the best though.

Indeed. The third game were a huge disappointment for me because of this. The entire map felt rushed, no special locations and nothing fun to explore. Also, the gameplay went *too* over the top.

Saints Row 2 is the best of them.

Quoting: NyamiouHey! It's not just the video, this is a channel full of SteamOS vs Windows comparaison just like this one.

Exactly! Tons of them, and they are pretty darn interesting. It's the kind of performance comparison I've been wanting for a long time.

EDIT: ... But how did he get the Arma 3 Linux version? It's not out for Linux yet? Who is this guy?

Wow that came out of nowhere.

Guys, the Saints Row games are okay single player games, but fantastic coop games.

Please let these be native ports...

It's fetched a solid 81% metascore too, so this baby is a safe purchase.
