Quoting: TiedemannI guess the % of games available on Linux isn't half bad either :)

Last I checked, it was only Universim that had Linux support. I see they have since added Jettomero, Astrokill, and Crest, so it's nice to see the list growing.

Last time I looked it was only Universim and Jettomero, so yeah. Good to see there's more now.

Honestly I didn't realise Astrokill was part of their stable.

I don't know if I've ever seen a game give away so many keys. That's what, the second hundred batch that's gone through GoL alone?

I was one of the Kickstarter backers and it's really nice to see just how much work has gone into the game. Even at this stage it's looking slick and they're pretty much nailed down the first era already so most of the core gameplay is solid. But as you say, a lot left to do and I can't wait to play the finished product next year sometime.

I watched HexDSL play Minit yesterday, it's brilliant!

I already got it in the recent Paradox bundle, so oh well. I imagine a few others did too.

Quoting: KelsGiven my continued obsession with Brogue, this might make a nice alternative to try out. I've always been a bit curious about it.

New addiction on the horizon ? :)

There is only room for one in my heart, but I wouldn't say no to a little piece on the side. :whistle:

Quoting: KelsRemember that not everyone in the Linux community is on GoG. Not everyone speaks up. It's generally assumed that if one person expresses interest, they represent several others who simply don't speak up or use that platform.

One percent is still one percent. If a business can use its people to do something more and get a larger return, then they'll do that and forget about the one percent. If you want to be a strict 'no tux, no bux'er, you'll have to accept that you'll miss out on some stuff.

I don't have unlimited (or even very much) cash and I can't play everything even if I did. I also don't expect every game to be on every system. I don't buy an Xbox and expect to play Mario Kart. That's ridiculous.

But that doesn't address the fact that you're ignoring real numbers and focusing on pessimistic percentages. If a quarter-million people buy a $60 USD game, that's not peanuts. Even on a very deep sale you're still talking millions. If you're telling me it's sensible for a game company to leave millions on the table, then I'm sure not gonna hire you to be my business manager.

And that's not even getting into the concept of developing and largely untapped markets.

Quoting: lucifertdarkWE are potential customers, WE are willing to give them money for their work, even now. 15,000 signatures is 15,000 guaranteed customers, how many more people are out there who didn't sign the petition?

I don't care who said what or who did what to who, I want that game on Linux, I bought Witcher 1 & 2, but Witcher 3 is never going to be bought by me UNLESS it comes to Linux first.

You completely missed Kallion's point didnt you?

Also 15,000 signatures is NOT 15,000 customers. Ballot stuffing.

Linux is LESS THAN ONE PERCENT of sales. They don't NEED your sales... and if supporting you is too much hassle, they would rather just write you off. So you can scream "No Tux no Bux" all you like, but that is not going to get you anywhere. Linux simply is not a big enough market for that policy to work.

One percent of the cited 25 million is still a quarter million, far beyond your speculation of ballot stuffing.

Remember that not everyone in the Linux community is on GoG. Not everyone speaks up. It's generally assumed that if one person expresses interest, they represent several others who simply don't speak up or use that platform.

Awesome! That confirms there's nothing I'll really miss if I choose the $1 tier. :D
