Quoting: edoNow devs will finally realize how really few people are the people making so much noise about linux versions of the games.

Just in case you're not being sarcastic: If they "realize" anything at all based on these numbers, they're idiots. This number won't come close to reflecting reality, partly due to the problems brought up here. If Steam had a proper port wishlist feature, it might help in gauging interest. As it is, developers and publishers would do much better with Linux sales data on current ports of games in their genre/market.

Quoting: tuubiCastlevania: Samsai's Destiny? When?

It's already available. You can get it here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/castlevania-simons-destiny [External Link]

Thanks, but I was asking if Samsai is planning to livestream it at some point, like he did with Brutality and WolfenDoom.

Maybe I should have asked in proper English. But you know, too lazy busy for grammar.

Castlevania: Samsai's Destiny? When?

Gamebook-style games have very little to do with text adventures in the traditional sense. But I guess this one looks like an adventure game of sorts and it involves reading text, so close enough. Personally I'd categorise this one as "multiple-choice roguelite" or something along those lines.

I don't think this solves anything. It might even make things worse, if publishers/devs are stupid enough to think these numbers are a direct indication of interest.

Even if I was in the habit of wishlisting games not available or at least confirmed for Linux, I'd still ignore most of them. And while I've had the filtering option set since it became available, many of you do not (which is fine), and thus do not count as Linux wishlisters.

Quoting: GuestDebian derivatives are a waste human resources and does have years old buggy software.

That was a seriously lame attempt at trolling. Please try again.

Quoting: Guest2D games are old.

Except for the ones that are new.

Quoting: Guest"Those are some slick looking graphics!"

More like graphics from the Commodore 64 era. Bruce Lee from 1984:

You probably thought that Quake looked exactly like Wolfenstein 3D, and that the Tomb Raider from 2013 looks no better than the one from 1996? Maybe you need a better monitor or something? :)

So pretty! So smooth!

Wishlisted, despite the "nut-twisting". Ouch.

Quoting: lucifertdarkI have all the older Bridge Constructor games & both Portal games, now there's one that combines both together. Count me in. :D

Did you actually enjoy the originals? I only played the first one and thought it must be the least fun bridge building game I've ever tried. I can't remember names, but there are free flash games around that do it better.

I do like how this one looks and I just love Portal, but I'll have to see a few reviews before I even consider having it on my wishlist.

Quoting: throghWow, another bunch of hardware supporting proprietary platforms: Making "Linux" just a little bit more feeling like closed-in systems? No thank you. :D

How exactly does any amount of proprietary hardware running Linux make Linux itself feel like a closed system? Or is it just some subset of distributions (like SteamOS) that rub you the wrong way?

You should stop fighting imagined evils and start enjoying the fact that our favourite operating system is slowly but surely conquering the world. Linux is still an open project under an open license, and no one will be able to change that.

If some particular flavour of Linux isn't to your taste, use something else. If some software running on Linux doesn't fit into your narrow mold of what is acceptable, even if it fully complies with the licenses, please just ignore it. Your constant grumbling is pointless.
