Quoting: SkiskiIf they had only sold 2 copies, 1 on windows and 1 on linux, that would be 50% for linux, which is huge, but only 1 sale is just horrible. Percentage only matters if the sampling is big enough. 900 sales are not really representative compared to the millions of steam users.
Glad someone else sees it from my point of view.

Quoting: liamdaweIn percentages yes, in actual sold amount, no.

The amount sold is what matters, not the percent.
I don’t agree. Linux users showed much more interest in the game than Windows gamers, and your choice of words implies the opposite.
It's money from sales that keep developers alive and making games, not a percentage of platforms. That's my point.

I don't want to dance around the issue and get hyped about having a higher percentage than usual when the sales are tiny.

The fact is, even from Linux gamers, 50 sales is very low.

To echo Mirv: If you have any kind of feedback, leave it to the feedback forum, don't clog up articles like this please. It's a simple and nice was for people to get keys, nothing more.

Rich Geldreich On The State Of Linux Gaming, And It's Not Good

Considering his heated blog posts on Valve, Linux, OpenGL etc it's reasonable to think he quit before he was let go by Valve. A jump before you're pushed type of thing.

I can't imagine him getting on well with others at Valve if he thought like this the whole time, but that's just my wild speculation.
