Not tidied. All the hardware and software you see there runs/works with Linux except for the TI-99 and the CLié (installing Linux is on my todo list). Some real (non-digital) games there too (all run native with ScummVM, GemRB, etc). In the close-up is my current use system; open for heat dissipation. Nvidia 970, Intel Prescott CPU, 768MB RAM (all three overclocked :) The Dull and the other box are in-progress. The Dull's gonna be my Steam Machine (needs low-profile GPU card)

Valve's employ handbook, required reading for *every* employee, litterally states, "you have the power to greenlight". Anyone, *ANYONE*, working at valve can approve *anything*.

Am I the only one who thinks most games are fine on version 1.old of engine or middleware whatever even if there is a 2.new version of the engine or middleware available?

I mean really? There seems to be a lot games that updated to newer components and the game gained absolutely nothing but hardware upgrades needed and later version numbers in the requirements?

People, well, Windows users at least, are still buying from Desura at thus point. Maybe they havn't got the news.

I see this in the thread, alot:

4%

Steam

1%

Didn't anyone here see:

Humble, itch.io, IndieBox, and direct sales

I'd be interested in seeing percentages for the non-Steam sales.

There seems to be a problem here. Announcing X number of games on Linux, or saying the best games have a Linux version, implies the idea Linux should be or is becoming more like Windows (Lots of games, Like Windows. Top selling games, like Windows). I meant think about it? Are we Linux users because it's like Windows or because it's different than Windows? How about focusing on the differences instead. Why should having a high percentage of games for niche markets be counted as negative? More Linux games fill a certain demand than Windows does, that's good! Lets list the differences:
More than any other platform, there are a higher percentage of games on Linux that have female authors and femaleprotagonist. In fact, Linux has the most games outright that have a Female protagonist (higher number, not just higher percentage) http://www.uvlist.net/groups/info/femaleprotagonist [External Link]
Your turn everybody, start naming things where Linux is better than Windows.

Linux gaming does not begin and end with Steam.

Looking forward to playing Linux games developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo.

My wife's notebook (her primary only gaming device) is not Intel, Nvidia, or AMD. She no longer participates in the surveys.

I don't think any lead developers actually look at that 1-2% and think 'we can do without those customers'. Rather, i'm convinced that they think 'those customers will just use Windows in (some way)'. it could be 40%, and still 'not be worth it' as long as they think that way. Until they believe there is an 'unreachable' 1% or more, they will never believe it's worth it.
