Favorite moment: playing TF2 and LFD2 on Linux for the first time. Doesn't seem like a big deal now but in 2013 it was huge deal. Triple AAA games had finally arrived Linux.

I just checked out the recent Steam reviews for Rocket League. I can read them for hours. Entertainment plus.

Quoting: Cestusyeah 3 billion dollar profit in 2018 is just not enough to have a couple people working on it.... sorry....

Yep, and all they need to to is build a launcher that supports Linux and get EAC working on Linux and all of their UE4 engine games like Fortnite would work. But no, there's not enough money in it for them.

I doubt MS will sue. Let's not forget that MS has invested a lot of effort into building bridges with the Linux community in the past few years. They have ported Ubuntu to Windows, open-sourced .NET, brought SQL server to Linux and even joined the Linux Foundation as part of their effort to promote the Azure platform.

Suing Valve would result in a massive backlash from the Linux community and destroy all the good-will that MS has built with Linux. Frankly, they would be shooting themselves in the foot.

If it's officially supported, I'll definitely buy it.

This article makes a lot of sense and confirms what many of us suspected for a long time.

I never did believe the arguments that Linux Steam market share is low because of driver issues or not enough games or performance issues etc as others often say. Linux started off at 2% and drivers today are much better than they were in 2013 and we have lots more games including several AAA titles. Linux gaming has made huge strives since then and to go backwards in marketshare makes no sense, unless you count all the new Chinese users coming online.

If the Steam survey didn't count the hordes of Windows users in China, I reckon the Linux share could well be around 4% by now.

I wonder how much Chinese users, many of whom use pirated Windows software, contribute to these numbers. It would be interesting to see a regional breakdown.
