Can I get a ignore function, please? Or a dislike button for comments that are mostly OT and toxic?

While I can recommend playing it if you're into walking simulators, I wonder what sense a free weekend makes for them. I played through the game on a single day (IMHO, you should, it will be a better experience), was happy that I had bought it - but wouldn't touch it again, as it has done for me what can do.

I was able to overcome it in Serious Sam 3, but I know what you mean.

Quoting: JanneAnd it's such a good game too :-(

Unfortunately, I cannot object...

Quoting: JanneGreat game, and I want to finish the story. But I just get too queasy to play after five-ten minutes :(

I had the same with their engine. Could halfly fix it with these settings:
Graphics options => FOV 100
Game options => Bobbing off
Performance => GPU Speed => Zoom blur and soft-focus to off
(All back translated from German, wording may vary.)

It wouldn't need computer magic at Valve's side to automatically test that there's at least something downloading for every supported system...

Quoting: ImantsFirst game had very many jokes about Russian culture which usually are lost in translation so I do not recommend any of these games without Russian language knowledge.

I got the same impression from reading the reviews.

Quoting: EikeOf course, there's a thousand other variables and unknowns. But when you take just these two, OS share on Steam and Linux game share on Steam, the expected result of sales is higher than the OS share due to less choice for Linux gamers.

No its not, I just explained you why. You can't just take an important part from equation and behave like nothing happens and you can treat this problem in isolation.

First, you would have to prove that it is truly enclosed system and that market behaves like that.

You are asking me to prove the opposite of what I explicitly said ("Of course, there's a thousand other variables and unknowns." ).

Quoting: ColomboUnderstand your assumptions, verify them or try to explain why results of your model are relevant even if your assumptions are wrong.

From the - as stated obviously incomplete and limited - model I am using, the conclusion is as I stated. The main reason I showed this is because Liam came to another result from the same model.

So, you're free to try to argue that my results from the model are false (they are not), tell me that the model is insufficent (which I already said) or propose a better model (feel free...).

Quoting: ElectricPrismPerhaps, still I think some of the following titles could classify as "quality"

Not up-to-date, but some more quality games:

Quoting: Colombo

Quoting: EikeBut the logic is correct. It's not like we buy more games, but it's more likely we buy game X.
Imagine everybody buys 2 games. There's 10 games for Windows and 4 for Linux. Distribution between games is even. Then every game get's 0.2 sells per Windows user in average, but 0.5 sells per Linux user in average. Let there be 1000 Windows users and 10 Linux (1%), each game available for both platforms sells 200 Windows copies and 5 Linux copies - not 2, as to be expected by the OS share.

Or you might not buy anything and invest your money somewhere else, like go to cinema.

This is not closed competition between games themselves, they must compete next to other form of entertainment as well. I don't have 50$ budget for half year to spend on games and only games, so I would have to divide it amongst existing games.

Of course, there's a thousand other variables and unknowns. But when you take just these two, OS share on Steam and Linux game share on Steam, the expected result of sales is higher than the OS share due to less choice for Linux gamers.
