My wife and my mother-in-law are using Linux but are not gamers.

Quoting: cxphergmailcomActually, every Linux user I know and all of you here are obviously gamers. It think it's a gross assumption that many aren't.You mean, people on GamingForLinux and Steam are gamers? Really? Wow.
Biggest thread on most game discussions on Steam are Linux port requests.

Quoting: cxphergmailcomActually, it's more than doubled. We're sitting at 2.21% atm for Linux usage. I follow the stats on other sites. Steam stats are not accurate.Steam stats match Steam game sales quite nice often.

(I remember a company that hung up a poster with the best Linux user thank quotes - don't remember which one it was.)

I really think watching the video made me play a little bit less bad. Which still is very bad, and yet...

BTW, why is he doing the forward loops on the floor sometimes when there's no ball near?

Quoting: Al3sI would suggest you watch some competitive matches on youtube. I was playing more or less like you and just after watching one video I realized I did a lot of things wrong. Anyway, awesome save towards the end!!Got a suggestion for an intersting video?

Quoting: edddeduckferalNeed to think a bit more about it. But yes, Fallout and Elder Scrolls is what I'm missing by far the most after dumping Windows.Quoting: EikeI'll continue to feed it with Bethesda, Bethesda and... hm, I'll think about the third.Let me guess.... Bethesda? ;)

If you create a game like Wasteland 2 or Wasteland 3, you know you will sell copies. It would be... surprising business behaviour not to take account of that from the strat. I guess everybody would he happy if they could do without, but world usually is not like that.

Quoting: killyouThat's the point. The campaign usually says: we are dumping publishing company and we need X amount of money to do this cool gameI read that as "Additionally to the money we've lent from the bank/mums we hopefully can pay back if we sell lots of copies after we finished the game, we need some more money to actually create it."

I'll say it again: We don't know if...
* the financial planning included expected sells,
* the financial planning could be adhered to,
* more money was spent to make a better game due to more money flowing in.
I totally expect that the first is true and, as you said, it would be no wonder at all if the second would be true as well. I got no information if the third was done for Wasteland 2, but I did hear it for some kickstarter projects. But every single point could refute your conclusion on its own.

Quoting: killyouI work in IT so I know that big projects might be tricky if it comes to time and resource management(Me too.) Then I wonder even more what we are talking about.

Quoting: edddeduckferalIt's 100% real not just a social media fun thing, it's not the only way we decide to license games of course but popular requests are taken on board when we look at what games to license for Linux (and Mac).That's very cool! I wonder if many people think (like me) it's just a fun thing. But either way you're getting your input. So I'll continue to feed it with Bethesda, Bethesda and... hm, I'll think about the third.
