Quoting: cxphergmailcomI actually practically kicked smoking to support the Linux games initiative.

Now that's collateral benefit! :)

Quoting: ShmerlI think someone posted that GOG support told him, that they collect stats on user agents and downloads. But I can't find the source now.

I wanted to hint on the same, e.g. for the question when you buy from mobile. I've set my user agent for Steam to a plausible string containing "Linux" (using UAControl) on my work desktop PC running Windows. You could do it for other shops as well.

Quoting: AsuHmm I usually buy steam on my macbook but play on my linux desktop... so those are osx purchase then omg... didn't know this.

The tipp above might be useful for you.

Quoting: edoThis game is definitely very cool, but ping issues, even if it behaves better than on W10 (which is always downloading something and I have no idea what is it), still sucks

I get very good pings every time. I wonder if the problem is on your computer's side?

Quoting: ziabiceFun Fact: "Mad Max" and "Shadow of Mordor" are listed into the best of average action games on PC [External Link] list by Rock,Paper, Shotgun website.

And Dying Light. And Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor. Linux gaming is all about 7/10? ;)

Quoting: g000hThis raises an interesting point. If you buy a game (e.g. when it is on Sale), but don't USE the Steam key (i.e. you don't activate the game on Steam immediately) then you can hold back and activate it when it is out on Linux.

The money would probably be accounted by the shop (for Windows), not by Steam.

Quoting: liamdaweOut of all the games I've had, maybe three people in total have been dicks. Everyone else has been rather nice, feels very different to games like Dota 2.

I'm not even trying games like Dota or LoL. Call me sensitive, but I just don't want to cope with such... people in my leisure time.

I had a turnaround like this in Frozen Synapse once. What I loved about the game: While the opponent obviously was not happy with what had happened, he still congratulated. A very special community, which you probably won't find in many games - for sure not in Rocket League.

Sorry to say, but...

Feral > Aspyr

(But I've got more than enough love to give for two porting houses, Aspyr!)

I feel - and I guess Aspyr would sign this - that after Civ 5 was ported and it was clear from the beginning that Civ 6 should run on Mac and Linux as well, Aspyr should have been involved in the development early, so not only porting it, but transfering from the beginning and in parallel and with some influence on decisions being made. But I guess, Mac and Linux are not strong enough to come into that position...
