Quoting: TcheyThere is mention to Windows and Mac, but not Linux, is it a game with hidden beta Linux ?

It has a SteamOS icon on Steam, not hidden.

Quoting: devnullBold move going with the FBI. CS should have just stuck with Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist otherwise they run a risk of being labeled biased (sick I know). This is something Valve understood going back to September 11, 2001. Put another way, are they going to allow other national police forces? Who decides?

I'm not advocating such stupidity I'm saying at the rate we're going it's inevitable the left will take issue with this too.

+1 graphic quality though, they've done some serious work on the textures and maps.

Uh, they were always FBI for those specific maps weren't they?

Quoting: elmapul" would put us back to a level we were at in September of 2016. "
but if they had those numbers in september of 2016, didnt that mean that the marketshare was even bigger than 0,78% back then ?

We don't know how long this has been an issue, Valve haven't said. It might have only been an issue for one/two/three months.

Quoting: CorbenThere is definitely an impact on the Linux market share since Proton. I just hope this is not a statistical anomaly, as new Steam client installations have a pretty high probability to see the survey. So this could mean, lots of people are trying Steam on Linux now, and test if their games work with Proton... and maybe don't stick with Linux the month after. But from how I understand how the survey works, those people won't be counted the month after it again, as the survey should occur only once a year. Time will tell.

I think one of the big reasons is also the major decline in people playing PUBG. Look at the "Players every day" graph on SteamDB [External Link] and see how far it has fallen, which is big considering it was a game previously pushing the "simplified chinese" use up high. 3.2 million in January to around 1 million now.

Quoting: KohriasI just bought it on GOG. I was met with an unpleasant surprise when trying to download it: there are no Linux files availabe.

The heck? I've asked the developer and GOG what's going on.

Edit: Developer has confirmed [External Link] it should not be advertising a Linux build on GOG.

They also said [External Link] this in reply to me asking if it will come to GOG: "Not at all I'm afraid, due to technical reasons to do with the build process. Anyone affected should ask for a refund immediately. I'll contact @GOGcom as well, quite frustrating as I was very clear about this."

Think before you comment.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo . . . the PUBG wave has crested?
Still don't trust the Steam Survey numbers anyway.

PUBG has been in decline for some time now. Their player graph on SteamDB paints a terrible picture for their future...

Quoting: TPhaster...we need friendly and welcoming community - they need to feel that Linux OS is for everybody and not for small tech elite.

Problem number one for the majority of people who tried Linux and then gave up, because thy were trolled on reddit by some elitist a**hole. Even some of the people on the Linux gaming sub-reddit are just insufferable. A few weeks back I was called out for having a "parasitic way of thinking" because I dared to express my view that an OS is nothing more than a tool and I will use both Windows and Linux for whatever purpose they best suit me. Then there was this other person, who tried to explain to me that not having Photoshop or Vegas Pro was somehow the fault of both the developer and the user. Essentially, people who need professional software had to be ashamed they need non-Linux software and use Linux anyway. Because f*ck your job - open source for life :). You just need a bit of a thick skin when you're in the Linux community. 9 people are extremely friendly and helpful, but the 10th makes Apple fanboys go "Daaaaaaaaamn!!!" :))).

True, but I would like to point out that the GamingOnLinux community we have here is pretty much the nicest gaming community on internet, at least from what I have experienced.

9 people be like: Everything is awesoooooome!
and the 10th be like: It would be even more awesome if it was DRM-free, but yeah, it's awesome.

Praise be to Liam's excellent moderation.

Hah thanks, some people think i'm too heavy handed at times but it has to be done otherwise shit gets out of hand.

Quoting: ArehandoroFeral is on a roll! And we still have to receive some more news this week from them, amazing!

I would be surprised if they had anything left. I think the whole this time next week thing was meant as a hint of stuff to come before Thursday.
