Quoting: Comandante oardoFeral already has been paid out by Warner, so We don't have to give a single cent to them...
Unless that Feral acquired the publishing rights for Mac and Linux...
... or they at least get a share per sold copy, which seemed to be the case for the past releases.

Quoting: killyouThey've released ~14 games so far and they need money for the development of another one? Really?
Sorry, that doesn't make sense. Making ~14 games cost ~14 times much money.

Quoting: rkfgThis is not exactly true. Backers have only given $483k as of now and $1700k come from Fig itself. This is an unusual scheme for crowdfunding.
D'oh!

Found the info: It's the little ⓘ next to funding progress bar.

Quoting: m2mg2Seems like someone that has no idea what is going on talking about things they have no business talking about.
Hm. But a month ago, they also had listed in the Humble Store. Seems to me like something happened since then.

Quoting: buenaventuraI'm not the one who started the debate about philosophy/morality, was I?
I honestly think we should stop that part of the discussion here. We won't solve this problem. :)

Quoting: cxphergmailcomI actually practically kicked smoking to support the Linux games initiative.
Now that's collateral benefit! :)
Amazing, I personally gave up drinking rum almost every night to buy more games.
Maybe public health care should support Linux gaming?!

Quoting: Maweki "Buying directly from Steam on Linux is a Linux sale." Does this also mean through the browser on Linux?
Cannot find a source for it, but as far as I know yes, they parse the browser's user agent for this.

Quoting: Horiso if you are a Windows gamer and two years after buying game A you switch to Linux and you play the game on Linux at least 51% of the time then you will be removed from the number of Windows customers and added to the Linux ones.
In the end, it's about money, and the money must flow in the first weeks after the sale. It doesn't get them more (or different) money if you decide to play it on another system years later.
