To be honest, I'm not very happy with Pierre-Loup's answer (if I understood it correctly):

QuoteWhile Linux sales were tracked properly throughout, there was filtering in place that did not separate "Linux Units and Revenue" from "Total Units and Revenue" on the per-game summary page. This would only occur when an application was not launchable via Linux, and was purely a display issue.

Well, displaying it right to the developers/publishers is what this is all about! It's great that Valve has the right numbers in their internal databases, but that doesn't (didn't) help anyone!

When seeing the graphics, I always wonder how many developers had such an illuminated endless plane in early development - and how many mourn now that they didn't just left it like this, as Besiege did. :D

Quoting: Liam DaweRight now, it might not even work like that at all. All we know, is that it's clearly not working as it's supposed to be.

It's just a guess, but if just Proton attribution is not working, but the rest does as it used to (you reported games with Linux sales that didn't have a Linux version way before Proton existed, just due to the system used for buying), that should be the - odd - outcome. Let's see. At any rate it's unfortunate, and it's sad they didn't find out themselves way earlier.

Quoting: Liam DaweA developer has now confirmed to me they see all show up as Windows, for a game even I personally purchased 100% on Linux for Proton. Waiting to see if they will allow being quoted.

Doesn't this have the "funny" result that it would have been counted as Linux if you'd bought it under Linux and not played it the first weeks...?

Dunno if anybody cares, but in German, the word "Handy" is used for mobile phone. It sounds like an English expression, but it seems it isn't. Wonder where that one comes from...

Quoting: einherjarAn overlay Crosshair to "Noscope" with sniper weapons may be considered as cheating...

Draw a crosshair on your screen with a marker and nobody will ever catch you cheating!

I am more concerned about the possibility, that such overlays can be used for cheating, and so are detected as cheats.
And BTW, my aimbot works without crosshair :P

What an AI feat...! :-D

I remember they used to they that they have no plans porting this. (Anybody can confirm - or object?)
So is this our first win due to Stadia?

Quoting: SonataCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I think that's partially one of the reasons a lot of indie games actually have a linux port because tools like GameMaker do allow for "exporting a linux version" of the game they're making alongside the obvious Windows port.

That's right. Some even don't have a Linux installed to test it. X)

Quoting: orochi_kyoYou can see clearly that the problem is not exactly the smurfs, people will behave like this, even in real life, but the people who know the smurfs exist and they decided to get offended by anything.
"I don't play this game because of the community"

If it's not fun, people won't play it. It's that simple.

Quoting: Comandante Ñoñardo200AR$ plus taxes (about 3.5U$D) per month is a damn good gaming deal...
Valve should have a subscription system like this.

I guess they have to do something like this some day.
