Quoting: TheRiddick...
Yes EA may not care atm, but within a year that %1 is likely to grow, hopefully larger then Mac.

As you still get to the 1%?
I and others have written often enough, that's are the 1% a fairy tale number is.

Even if you repeat the 1% here, a scattered lie is not true.

Quoting: BdMdesigNHow you can say the 1% Linux gamer are correct?

Maybe we have 15% linux gamer not steam gamer?

15% Linux gamers - no, definitely not. And most of them use steam, at least those who are in the target group of EA.
It might not be 1%. But it never is far more than 3%. And 3% - they say, I do not agree - is not enough for profiting.

I wouldnt say the numbers are wrong. I'd say it does not make any sense to run the numbers.

A Linux user hows play games on Linux is a linux gamer.
We have open source gamer and we have gamer how buys games.

And now don't say, if i play only open source games, thats i'm not are a linux gamer.

And i sayed maybe, not we have.
My point is that the 1% are incorrect. No matter what you do, the 1% remain false.

Mr. Andersson points to the "Steam Hardware & Software Survey" for a reason, and he even spells it out: Linux users represent less than 1% of all Steam users.
...

So did he?
You know this survey say nothing?
Did you know thats we speak from Linux Gaming and not from Steam Gaming?
Did you know thats ca 50% of the Linux gamer don't use steam? OK maybe its only 30%.

How you can say the 1% Linux gamer are correct?

Maybe we have 15% linux gamer not steam gamer?

Mr. Andersson use the steam HWsurvey to say: "Our games don't comes to linux"
He don't sayed " Our games don't comes to Steam 4 linux" or "Our games don't comes to SteamOS"

And i hear over 15 years thats Linux have only 1% user share.

This is not true.

Quoting: ricki42For EA games it's not just the engine, it's also Origin that would need to be ported.
Still, Mass Effect: Andromeda would've been nice.

Yes of course, but use the Steam HWsurvey for a stament is poor.
Realy poor and nonsense, if you don't have Linux with steam 4 linux installed to see how much you get the survey.

Do you see the irony?

Are you sure you replied to the right comment?
...

Yes and i agree your statment.

But we must see the other side: EA use Stats in his statments.
The Guy from Frostbyte use the steam HWSurway in his statment.

And this is a reason, too why we don't get games from EA on Linux.

It's the 1% Stats Ghost, thats use this Companys as a reason why they don't port to linux.

Quoting: MGOidThere is some things I want from EA, like the Crysis series and Mirror's Edge. But for most of you, THIS is why I want they showing up in Linux:

Like it or not, EA is a giant in this industry, and will be very difficult see most people moving from Windows without EA and Ubisoft at our side too.

Game and graphics looks realy realy great. But not my genre ^^

But i see it on windows, too.

I have my steam account since 17. October 2013 and i got 2 surveys on the native linux
client, one on wine and one on Windows native.

So i got 4 surveys in 2 years.
Do you see the irony?

Quoting: dubigrasu

Quoting: dubigrasuWhat puzzles me is why so much fuss about this particularly benchmark ?
There are other benchmarks (big titles) there as well that went unnoticed.

Because it's one done with a wrapper and it shows the best results compared to the original Windows version of the game among all AAA Linux ports. And not just any game, but one that is legendary for its heavy graphics and horrible optimization.

I don't know...Bioshock is also with a wrapper, Dirt (wrapper too) shows also much better results while the Witcher was the most controversial of all.
Anyway, I didn't expected this reaction.

Yes.

The Witcher 2: eON Wrapper
BioShock Infinite: eON Wrapper
DiRT Showdown: eON Wrapper
SpecOps The Line: eON Wrapper
Arma 3: eON Wrapper

I count 5 eON wrapped games, not one.

^^
