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: 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.

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