Quoting: avarisclariThis is my comment on this article: Awesome that an actual company came here to post about their product.  I'd buy, but right now struggling to make ends meet.
Troy is a regular here and a welcome guest :)
Steam now has a Featured Linux Games Section

Quoting: BumadarI just read all this (well sort of) and now I sit here wondering how a news item about a steam linux section ended up in thread which covers everything from IBM PC up to Android..... 
No idea hehe.

Quoting: GuestBriefly, the main featured items list was actually showing titles which all have GNU/Linux versions available. Adds credence to there being a steam linux sale on soon. Which would be cool.
Yeah it happened for me too, thought it was odd all featured items being cross platform.

Nice was waiting for it to come down in price to give me a fix before GO is eventually ported.

Steam's January 2013 hardware survey is on, Linux is growing

To clear up what I actually meant so people can stop correcting me - The +/- on Steams stats are for market share on Steam not "it's increased by % of the last %".

So I have it right, the total market share of Ubuntu users on Steam has risen by 0.32%.

Well no because 1.12 - 0.8 is .3 - well that's what my stupid calculator told me...

.8 to .9 is + .1
.9 to 1.0 is + .1
1.0 to 1.12 is + .12

So it's around 0.32%

Quoting: Chuck LanmanIm sure Mint and all Ubuntu related distros are show up under Ubuntu.
No if you read what cheese posted Mint does show up separately.

I have added the Mint stats into the article just to show.
Counter Strike Source has been added to the CDR and apparently installable too

Think I might have to buy it just to give it a quick go!

Interesting I hope they fix up their stats to remove Linux from the Windows only section and put Mint and others into the main stats...
