A solid selection this time. My Friend Pedro is also a whitelisted title.

Sad, but unfortunately not that uncommon. I've seen (and participated in) projects that have grown way out of proportion, and missed every deadline imaginable. Larger companies can recover from this by burning money that other more successful projects generate. But smaller ones can easily go under.

Quoting: CybolicIf they detect all browser as Windows, that would be terrible for my statistics. I didn't use Steam before I moved to Linux but practically all my purchases were done through the browser ... I'm not feeling too well about this :/

All my purchases are through a browser, simply because I have my PayPal password saved in the browser. Also it is much more convenient to navigate the store in an actual browser... :'(

Quoting: mahagrEdit: The main reason why I've not touched this game anymore were the comments on my review -- people were telling that I'm an idiot as I use Linux and not Windows.

Don't let this get to you. Most people don't know or care much about Linux. In their minds the idea that some obscure system like Linux could be used for gaming is completely insane. They are probably nice people in general, but they care about different things.

Quoting: bingusSame as if I buy something from an Android phone... is that technically counted as Linux?

Android is not a supported platform, so it simply defaults to Windows.

Holy crap! :woot: I just wrote a random comment on a dead thread [External Link] on Steam this morning. Did not expect them to actually answer.

Quoting: Liam DaweFor the Linux share to rise, there needs to be a lot more happening outside of our own control and Valve's. Alone, they're just not enough to push it. We need more bigger hardware vendors to offer it, advertise it and so on.

As far as I can see, most Linux gamers today are people who were already using (or at least were familiar with) Linux. There are quite a few who use Linux for work or/and at home, but game on consoles, or don't really game at all. Most of the growth is form this pool.

Windows gamers is a much larger group, but also considerably harder to tap into.

Quoting: mao_dze_dunAlso love how they just cram all of the EU in there, even though half of the countries don't even use Euro. Whenever I see an e-store I'm using offer "regional pricing", it always feels like they're being sarcastic :).

EU stands for European Union, although it is often used as an abbreviation of Europe, which is not the same thing. There are a few countries in Europe that are not members of the EU. Although most EU member countries have their currency tied to Euro, so the exchange rate is always the same, even if they do not use Euro directly.

Of course lumping e.g. Romania and Denmark in the same region is just mean, because of how different salaries are in these countries.

Quoting: m-svoThey have recently asked to re-test several games, those I got the notifications for are Dragon Age Origins and TES IV: Oblivion.

They who? Valve? Where did you see these notifications?
