Quoting: EikeDeveleopers need to buy bread, too.
I didn't say anything like he should give the game free or anything like that.Game is not free.
He needed to work to make the game run under Linux. He invested his time. There needs to be a fair return for him. He, says, the sales did not amount to a fair return - but that he still wants to support Linux. That's great and not to be blamed.

If you or me like the game is something completely different. I wouldn't buy it. But I don't debase people.

Quoting: LeopardOh c'mon.You're just so used to begging developers.

If he is loving Linux and Mac community;then why he is complaining about sale percentage?

Why is he saying about game's profits?Why is he whining?

You're just so blind.

Linux overall market-share percentage falls on Steam in October
2 Nov 2016 at 2:16 pm UTC

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI'd be interested to know the total number of Linux respondants rather than the percentage. If there was a bigger influx of Mac and Windows gamers than Linux gamers than our percentage would fall. As long as the number of Linux gamers keeps rising then I don't care about a percentage. In a way it could still be a good thing. More PC gamers overall are more potential future Linux gamers.
From time to time, Valve is giving out numbers of their active user base, and, as you are expecting, it is hugely growing. So, Linux user base is growing at the same rate.

Me too. These polls are quite good as well.

Quoting: tofuheadi updated my information, so one more xbox360 user here..
Same here. I had to choose between Xbox 360 and Steam Controller as the favorite one.
For the only game I'm playing with controller, Rocket League, I'm using the Xbox gamepad, so that is it...

Quoting: ElectricPrismOn and the steam controller batteries -- how the fuck are you supposed to pry those out of the wings without a knife & slashing your hand. Fuck those batteries hold super tight & never come out.
It is super easy to take out batteries - just press the little hinges to up, and batteries will pop out automatically?
Yes, there's basically a button.
