Quoting: Mountain ManWhy do developers bother with even asking? ... It's not like "Linux gamer" is a monolithic subset of the gaming community.

That's exactly my thought. Although I do get why are they doing it. If they never did anything Linux, are not familiar with the community, but would really like to do it, maybe a little encouragement is all they need? Or maybe the suits want to see some evidence that Linux gamers are not a myth? We need to assume that they are asking because they care, not because they are looking for excuses.

BEEP never got an official Linux version. I think it was published on Desura, but that cannot be considered official anymore.

Do we actually have a confirmation for the Linux support on this one?

That's weird... I cannot see the store page for the game.

This does not seem to be a very good survey. They not only lump Windows and Mac together, but also all the smartphones and tablets, while having microcategories such as Apple TV, Apple Watch. Where is Android TV, Android Wear? A tablet running Windows? And a VR headset is a peripheral just like a controller.

I am yet to read the full document, but it feels as if they cannot tell the difference between a platform and a form factor...

I am still upset about The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. It was already in beta when suddenly it just... stopped.

Another one I was looking forward to was Cortex Command. It had sort of a Linux version on Humble Bundle that never worked that well. Along with quite a few other HB games with broken Linux versions that never went official.

And an dishonourable mention for Jagged Alliance BIA and Flashback. Never finished a Linux port before the game was abandoned. Still carry SteamOS logo on the store though.

And oh yeah, Gas Guzzlers Extreme, what's up with that? Just released a DirectX 11 version. No word on Linux.

Quoting: meraco750$ for a sub-par gaming PC.

In absolute terms, yes. But it is the size of a Mac Mini, $200 cheaper than a top-end Mac Mini, and a much more capable gaming machine than a top-end Mac Mini. Yes, I just compared it to a Mac Mini, and regret nothing.
