The funniest part of all is how they have removed the linux references as a release platform.

Is never a bad thing to admit the situation, or having a bad opinion about the situation.
It is just to look directly at the problem you have to solve.
With linux gaming, it is like doing a very large job whose first step has been made this year. Lots of steps have to follow on the next years.
Obviously, with some companies being so bad when doing games to pc, when they only care for consoles, you are going to see signs of that bad way to work when porting games from an OS to another one less used. (not fixing bugs, bad performance not solved), but this doesnt have to be valid for all. You are forgotting the Witcher 2 example. At first it was bad optimised, but it is up entirely to the style of work of the company. The developers released multiple patches to increase the game performance on linux, and now is fine.
There are many, many, many people who are in the same boat as us. That are with dual boot, are waiting for his favourite game to come to linux, or waiting the perfect moment to change. When this happens, we will be more than 1.16% and some developers will see us with different eyes. You have to think that, talking about performance, we are now the equivalent of windows in 1994.
There were performance issues when it was beggining for windows too.

Do you use Gnu/Linux as your primary gaming platform?
Can you make a possible reply:
No, but i only buy games with Linux support... (because at this moment i'm forced to use Windows but I plan to ditch it in a future)

Valve Are Tracking SteamOS Issues With AMD Graphics

AMD cheaper cards are key in the strategy of lots of dealers who are going to use them in their steamboxes's designs.
If most of them are going to have such bad performance, it seems that finally Valve is going to tell AMD to fix issues with proper drivers.

Counter Strike Global Offensive Prepares For A Linux Release

Double trouble.
New World Interactive, stated that its game Insurgency would be ported to linux at the moment CSGO, made his way.
They need some source code from CSGO once ported, since Insurgency takes a lot of CSGO as base.

Feral Interactive Wish To Know Why You Game On Linux

I dont have a twitter account, and 140 words would not be sufficient to reply properly.
Why do I game in linux?
Strange, and offensive question is this.
The simplest reply I can imagine is: "why should not I, play on linux?"
And that would be enough reply.
But the question itself, makes me wonder, why some company wants to know this.
Why should one have to apport reasons, to play a game in a given platform.
To try to discover the intentions behind the question, I have made an exercise of imagination, and have figured the question in two possible scenarios. In two possible worlds, where that question would have meaning to exist. After all, if we ignore the context of the world we live in, the question would be unnecessary.
Lets assume first, that we are living in a world, where we can choose to use the operating system we want.
In this wordl, everyone should be free to choose his operating system, and the entire world's game catalog, would be available to every OS.
So here, if one chooses a Linux operating system, he will play his games in linux. This question is so plain, that's just something obvious. I mean, I use linux, and others might use some different OS. In this world, that question would have one real meanning, wich is: why do you like linux at all, over different os.... But you havent asked that. You have asked a different thing, so lets move to another context.
Lets assume now, that we live in a different world, where we must not have the right to choose. We must have the illusion we can, but cannot, in the very last, because one of the available Operating Systems, has monopolized the game market so badly, that it is the only one most people use, and that has all the gaming catalog exclusively.
In this world, that question has much more purpose of existance, but the real question you are making instead is:
WHY THE F*** ARE YOU MOVING AWAY FROM THE DOMINANT OPERATING SYSTEM, everyone's been using for so long, and have changed to linux?
Well, then, only for your market study, the best short answer I can give you is this:
I have been using a different OS before, because I have been forced to, but at the moment I can choose a different one, cos my prefered games/apps are finally compatible, I will, because I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MONOPOLYS
I have liked this question a lot. Because this is an indicator. An indicator that, with more of 400 linux games on steam and counting, the TIME has finally come.
Finally. One monopoly is about to fall.
Written this from my only windows windows machine, I have to use to learn UE4, until the editor can be used in linux.
