Quoting: natewardawgWhile I made two pre-orders last year that I'm very happy with, I know that many people made pre-orders within the last year they are very unhappy with.

I'm suggesting that the pre-order question should have an additional answer available because right now it asks:

Unique Question 1: Have you pre-ordered a Linux game in the last 12 months?

And the answers are:

Yes
No
No, I don't pre-order EVER

There should probably be a "Yes, but I'll NEVER do it again"

Because if an unhappy person who did pre-order in the last 12 months is being 100% honest with the question they will have to answer, "Yes"

Good point!

I did preordered bl2 presequel, but i understood the spirit of the question and answered "No, I don't pre-order EVER"

I hope you dont accuse me of dishonesty ;)

Quoting: Segata SanshiroI put the Steam Machine question in the very first survey, the idea is to then compare the results to this one.

And then have the same question again next month after GDC when more details are announced to see if things change on the results :)

Good thinking :)

On a side note, I will buy one to replace the pc i have on the tv. The one i have is very old. Good enough for playing media but not for gaiming. I hope they come with big hd :)

I'll think of it as if I were going to buy a console... A console im really going to like since the first thing Im going to do is to wipe it and install some standard debian. You can't say that about your average console, can you?

day one dlc... I will never buy one of those...

But I guess those of us who dont buy them are the 1% here

EDIT: i mean the dlc... I already bought the game and is pretty cool ;)

Im pretty confident saying that those of you who think VR is a fad have not try one yourself. Am I wrong? :)

VR is not a fad... they are a game changing technology. After putting them on, it took me 2 seconds to forget where I was and to be completely immersed on the world I was presented with. And im talking about a low resolution pixelated world (it was the first occulus that came out)

I ordered the second one but canceled out after facebook bought them becase I dont want to give fb any money that can be used to do more shady things

Thankfully valve did the sane thing and took the matter on their hands... because last year they said that werent going to get involved in selling this kind of hardware... and that made me really sad.

Please valve, put all this hardware to sale already, I cant wait any longer... I would throw them my bra and my panties if I were wearing any

I didnt said that it was misleading myself, but I'll answer it

linux gaming will be fine and survive in the same sense linux will be fine and survive. As long as people is willing to compile it and run it and pull the cart , it wont die.

Ive been playing games in linux for about 10 years now... I was not very conscious as how bad the state was really. I had games I enjoyed to play. It wasnt mainstream, but linux wasnt mainstream either... so it made sense. I was happy with my not bad nvidia propietary drivers

I think we are not discussing here the survival of linux gaming, but it becoming mainstream. Theres little discussion on Linux gaming survival (imho)

linux gaming right now is 60-70 or even 80% valve pushing. Theres companies growing and joining this pushing. But thinking we would see this kind of growth without valve is fooling yourself

Theres little reason for valve to stop right now, but If they got to disappear overnight, we would ride on the inertia for a while, but forget the sheer numbers (in terms of games/engines support/people jumping platform) we are dreaming about right now.

I said already, but I dont think this hinges on steam machines, but it does hinges right now on valve itself pushing

The longer it goes, the less dependent we will be on valve. After all, they are trying to create a healthy open market for gaming without the yoke of app/stores at os level.

Its true it was improving a lot without/before valve (B.V.) but with valve numbers have gone up at least 2 orders of magnitude bigger, probably more. So it was pretty small in comparison

Its okay to calm the troupes that worry about steam machines. Ill probably buy one when they come out, but Im not worried at all about them becoming successful really. The longer that valve keeps improving the stack (directly or indirectly) and talking about linux, the longer the inertia will go. And if we are lucky it will become mainstream.

And to be honest, I dont care what others do. I selfishly want them to become popular so I get better support myself

linux gaming might not hinge on steam machines specifically, but it does hinge on valve...

If they stopped pushing it right now, the inertia would take us for a while, but dont fool yourself, not for very long

you should announce this just once a month. I dont remember if I already took it this month...

I think I did when you announced the results of the previous one

Maybe age groups should be matched together. Or maybe just 2 groups. Teenagers and non teenagers :)
