Our Linux & SteamOS gamer survey results for January 2016
25 Feb 2016 at 4:48 pm UTC

May I do two suggestions:
* For the question Did you buy a Steam Machine ? it should be clarified what a Steam Machine is. Does a self build PC running SteamOS count as a Steam Machine ? or make a difference between a off the shelve Steam Machine and a self build dedicated SteamOS PC
* For the graph How many Linux games did you buy last month? a cumulative graph should be used from bottom to top 11+, 6-10, 3-5 and 1-2, None can be left out as it would be shown as a gap at the top for the graph. That way we could see how many people bought at least 1 game, 3 games, 6 games and 11 games.

Looks like Evolve might still come to Linux & SteamOS

I love when dead multiplayer game come to Linux. Useless

Also I found it very difficult to buy games full price when I have to wait a long time to come on Linux. That's why day 1 release are very important.

/Edit cope => come

New Linux Gamer Survey For January

Quoting: opera"Did you buy a Steam Machine?"
I missed the choice "build my own".
I was thinking the same thing. I had to answer no

Dying Light: Enhanced Edition announced, sounds excellent
8 Dec 2015 at 3:28 pm UTC

Quoting: marcelomendesAll I want is a working Co-Op :(
Quoting: shiba87I Bought Dying Light recently and is amazing. It run's smoothly even with my 560 GTX Ti, but the multiplayer is completely broken. It's impossible to play in co-op.
I hope this enhancement includes a patch for this, because this is a game to play while someone else is crying of terror :p
What ???! I bought two copy to do the coop with my wife :( Was waiting for some part to arrive, in order to build my Steam Box.

What is the problem with the multi-player (specifically coop) ?

Quoting: TakBink is widely used because it's a more-or-less drop-in solution for "cross-platform" video. It's a shame that they don't support Linux any more, because they certainly used to - the between-chapter cutscenes in Neverwinter Nights used Bink.
I looked a bink for a work project 5 years ago, I do believe it was available on Linux at the time as it was our targeted platfom.

I wonder if the game Her Story use the same codec, the developer mentioned that the videos were the reason to not have it ported to Linux yet. Shame, look like a interesting/refreshing game concept to me :/

Quoting: sarmadWait a second. GTX 960 or GTX 960m? The difference between the two is day and night. Can anyone confirm it really is the desktop GPU inside that tiny box?
Could be a gtx 970m

Quoting: FutureSutureWhat's wrong in this image?
Trying to be way too picky?
Don't be ridiculous! People will see this and think the depicted games are on Linux. unless they pay close attention. How many of us can say that the general consumer does that, however?
Exactly! Zotac and Alienware have to be a bit more careful with their ads.

Some youtubers are even expecting Valve to fix SteamOs so all their Windows games are running on SteamOS too, not realising that it will (most likely) never happen.

Alien: Isolation Released For Linux, Prepare Your Spare Pants, Port Report, Review & Sale
27 Oct 2015 at 7:03 pm UTC

Quoting: sarmadThe GTX 560 Ti is just a little bit slower than the Alienware Steam Machine, that means the game will also perform poorly on the Steam Machine. It's however still good enough for a port. I don't expect any good ports until Vulcan becomes the norm.
I thought the Alienware Steam Machine was equivalent to the 750ti. ?

Steam Controller Demo From Pax Prime With Valve Talking About It

Quoting: miroI still see an issue there - the controllers/batteries can not be charged when a wire is attached.
Hopefully some third party company might do some battery pack for it (The same way the wii had some)
Quoting: ricki42EDIT to add: Estimated 5 meters of wireless communications range. [External Link]
Is it me or is it a bit short ? Is it 5 meters in an ideal environment and 2-3 meters in real life ?

Still looking forward to it though.
