Steam Hardware Survey For November 2014, A Growth Is A Growth.... Right?
5 Dec 2014 at 2:02 am UTC

100,000,000 Steam Users * 0.013 = 1,300,000 Users

Maximum Sales for a $9.99 Game x 1,300,000 = $12,987,000 if 100% of Linux users who login this month buy a game.

If only 1% of those Linux users buy the game the developer still makes (12987000×0.01) $129,870.00

I've been dying for a Linux Racer all year long, my point is whatever racer comes to Linux stands to make at least $130,000 to $1,000,000 just by being the first to penetrate the market.

Money talks, pass these statistics on to developers considering Linux.

(Games that appear first in a market in their genre also entrench the users in their franchise, so the opportunity for success and gennerating Google Page Rank from blog sites like GamingOnLinux is really effective at increasing sales and backlinks on the internet.)

Adventure RPG Short 'A Bird Story' Out Now
10 Nov 2014 at 3:54 am UTC

@DrMcCoy - I totally agree whole heartedly. I've been dying for a FF6 style game for years, "To the Moon" was a super mega ultra cock tease letdown, I dont give a rats ass about some sob story old man that wanted to go back into his memory to change time... that's the stupidest plot I've ever heard of since that retarded ass movie Source Code where non-technical people try to use our terminology to dress up a fugly and poorly written concept and story.

Eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WatVodRARsU [External Link]

I love the art & style of To the Moon so hopefully this "A Bird Story" won't be as much of a letdown as TTM.
