Steam's July 2013 Hardware Survey Has Arrived, Still Above 1%
1 Aug 2013 at 4:29 pm UTC

Quoting: LinuxGuys, this survey and its results presented as "stats" have no real value. http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/864975026741996257/ [External Link]
That means nothing, you should always wait a bit for the stats to finalise which is why I held off for a good few hours.

Paragon Evolved a sci-fi first person shooter

Holger I agree we have a lot of those types of FPS, I have been very vocal about how many we have. This is different though this is a single player wave based shooter against AI.

I do wish some of the open source games tried slowing down their gameplay and separatingthemselves from the tired run and jump about gameplay.

I personally will not support people being lazy and bottling their games with a winelib and calling it done.

Wine is good for old games yes and for massive AAA developers who are bound by publishers to not publishing to extra platforms (so we will never see a port).

Indie developers aren't bound by that, they may have limited resources yes fair enough I fully get that but a good % of them you can guarantee haven't even attempted to look into Linux support. That or they are just too uptight to learn how to do cross platform code as they don't want to let go of precious Windows only stuff.

Planetary Annihilation price drop, planet editor and more

Bad news for 32bit users, that is all that was meant, nothing more.

Of course it's good in the long run, we need more 64bit only games.

$40 at retail is perfectly acceptable (about half the price of standard retails games in the UK so perfectly reasonable), people just seem to be butthurt over the Alpha price, no one is forced to buy it, if people where patient they would shut-up and move on until they could afford it and either buy it at the retail price or just leave it alone.

Painkiller Hell & Damnation should be released soon for Linux!
