Honestly I'm not too surprised about this. I looked at Frozen Synapse and my first thought was "Great another Indie game I don't want to buy" It's sad but true. Steam is being flooded right now with lots of low end titles that I frankly can't be bothered to pickup outside of a Humble Bundle. I and I'm sure other people are chomping at the bit for a real game like Star Citizen, Satellite Reign, or something big from Aspyr's collection (think Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Neverwinter Nights 2) to appear. The indie scene is an ocean of mediocrity. I know that's going to be offensive to a lot of people, but I'm just telling it as I see it. I want titles like Descent 3, and Heroes of Might and Magic 3.Sure they're old but they're still AAA+ titles. Right now I own over 100 Linux games and I play 0 of them, mainly because none of them are compelling enough. GOG is also exciting to me because they're going to be releasing games onto Linux, but it's a bit frustrating waiting for their DOSBOX titles to hurry up and port.
