This is probably way too late to make any money, ain't it?
I've got a bit of fear that such late ports will hurt Linux sale reputation...

Quoting: TeodosioI look forward to the day when "We will first do Mac ports" will become "What the heck is Mac?".

There already seem to be games released only for Windows and Linux, at least in the beginning.
I'm all fine with ports for all three of course, but still looks like a nice sign for Linux gaming.

Quoting: oldrocker99This was my very first Kickstarter pledge, and not the last, and WHAT a game has come out of it, and the other Kickstarted projects (War for the Underworld, Planetary Annihilation, Pillars of Eternity!

Thanks for backing Pillars of Eternity!
I bought it yesterday. In a box. For Linux. In a real life store.
Still cannot believe it myself...!

Quoting: edqeThanks to all Kickstarter backers to make this game possible. A great game.

+1!

I did never back anything and don't plan to do so, but I am benefiting from it, so thanks to all you backers!

Quoting: lucifertdarkWhen was the last time any of you had the survey on Linux? I haven't had it on either Windows or Linux in well over a year & as has been said before this is a survey that doesn't include every single user of Steam, if it did the results would make interesting reading indeed.

When have you been last asked in voting polls? Does that make them invalid?

Quoting: liamdaweWe will never get an accurate representation, ever.

The number of people downloading an Steam client update for the respective OS should be a very good representation of active users and is very easy to obtain for Valve. (They might reduce it by id to eliminate double downloads, but I guess that's not even a relevant amount, so they could do it without touching privacy concerns.)

Quoting: PeciskBtw, any calculations of Linux gaming community outside Steam? Linux users are way more aware about DRM and can opt for buying games without DRM attached to it. Would they be 10 - 20% of Steam user base? 50%? Commence speculation! :D

Steam has 125 million active users...

These guys have been kind to me (even before having their community manager ;o) ).
Bought their game, but still have to play it.

About testing, they could for sure get some testing done by volunteers. Verde Station did that, and it worked well.

I bought Broken Age some days ago, and I fear I just can't cope with the children's book style all over the place. I'm still unsure if I will play the game to the end.

And I deeply agree: If you don't mind seeing pixels, do get "Gemini Rue" instead.
A Journey Down is better as well.
And Book of Unwritten Tales 2.
