Quoting: wojtek88549$ for Alienware Steam Machine with i7 and 8GB RAM [External Link] looks like a good deal.

It doesn't describe the GPU model...

Quoting: GuestWhile the number of games available for Linux has noticeably increased since Valve released the Steam client in 2013, a lot of popular games / game franchises are still not available on Linux.

And if ever a popular game gets released on Linux, there are usually 2 problems
1. The Linux version is way behind the Windows release date (Best example is Tomb Raider 2013)
2. The performance of the Linux version is lower compared to that of Windows (Examples are Dying Light, Tomb Raider 2013, and Shadow of Mordor)

I don't believe that the reason some game developers ignore Linux is the small user base. If that is the case, why is that there are many games that have a Mac version but no Linux version? Relative to Windows, Mac also has a small user base.

I agree.
I said it before and I repeat it now: The lack of big games for Linux is not about user base; is about brain... To make a big game for Linux is not easy. A powerfull brain is needed for that, and most developers just don't have it...

Example: A game developer with a powerfull brain will choose a multiplatform engine and multiplatform middleware, (take Croteam as an example of a developer with high level of programming skills)

Quoting: dmantioneI fully agree about CPU: An i3 fine. The i5 should be used for a top-end Steam Machine and an i7 in a Steam Machine is pure nonsense. It basically shows that Dell are a PC manufacturer and not very experienced in the game business.

Totally agree. I have i3-4150, a GTX 750 along with 8Gb RAM and it smoothly runs anything you throw at it, at least with mid-settings. Never had any issues with Bioshock or Shadow of Mordor. Tomb Raider runs at a nice 80 FPS. I see no reason at all to spend another $100-200 to upgrade to an i5 or i7 just for a few extra FPS. Valve and the OEM's need to get smart and offer units with similar specs that are affordable (under $400) and which get the job done instead of going for high end stuff like i5 and i7 processors.

Steam boxes have the advantage of using a free OS, something XBox doesn't have and it's been wasted.

Wait! How do you run Tomb Raider at 80 FPS with a GTX 750 and a i3??? Monitor resolution? I have a solid 30FPS (normal quality) with a GTX 750ti and an i5 4690K (no overclock) at 1080p... And I have 60FPS (normal quality) at 1080p with a GTX 960

Quoting: wolfyrionThat was ovious

20 Games Top Sellers, Only 5 Titles to Linux

Games like

DOOM,Rocket League,The Witcher 3,Dark Souls 3,Rise of The Tomb Raider etc

You think anyone who is a Pro GAMER etc,would switch to Linux?

For what? To play 2+ years old games and even with lower performance?

Like it or not thats the harsh true .

Linux still has a long road ahead and hopefully one day would be treated equaly in both new game releases and performance.

Those games are not available for Linux, not because of the small market share, is because the devs lack of the proper programming skills...

Is a simple fact: Is necessary to have a powerfull brain for to develop AAA games for Linux, and those devs don't have it. The only team of devs with the skills for that is Croteam. That's why The Talos Principle is the only AAA game available for Windows, Mac and Linux from day 1.

Quoting: fagnerlnWhat happens with cheaters? New account, +1 Windows account.

That's me. I have my old Steam account from my Windows era [External Link], and the new Steam account 100% Linux [External Link]...
I am buying a lot of games again for to support the Linux ports...And I am buying new games only for the Linux account, like Dying Light, Alien isolation, Shadow of Mordor, Dead Island Definitive (and Riptide Definitive)

Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon [External Link] is on my steam wishlist for a little bit more than the price of the full bundle... I'm gonna buy this bundle, because of the DRMFREE build of this game.

Quoting: Nel

Quoting: Comandante oardoI repeat:
I only buy Steam Wallet codes at G2A because they accept argentinian cash... yeah, cash, pe$os...
Thanks to G2A, I don't need to use my credit card any more on Steam...
Is THE ONLY international store who cares about Latinamerican gamers... Devs and other stores should LEARN and not complain.

PaySafeCard works with argentinian cash as well.
https://www.paysafecard.com/es-ar/comprar/encontrar-puntos-de-venta/puntos-de-venta/ [External Link]

And Steam accepts PaySafeCard.
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8360-WEJC-2625#acceptedforms [External Link]

Did You buy on Steam with pesos through a Paysafecard from Argentina? That is a ver important detail...

Any way, I'm good with rapipago... G2A by itself don't accept Rapipago; is PayU, their payment service provider the one who accepts rapipago... Is Steam who must make a dead with PayU.

Quoting: poke86Will they drop support at release like they did for Dead Island though?

Dead Island Definitive IS supported by Techland.. Or at least, one Dev is answering:

[Weird Fatal Error [CFactory::CreateObject]](http://steamcommunity.com/app/383150/discussions/0/358415206098272551/)

And the problem was caused by a corrupted save game.
