People say that this game is what Agony couldn't be.

Quoting: GuestThink $5 million vs. $100 million.
Present that to a board of directors and guess which one they will choose.

That depends on the type of company: If it is a public company like EA or Ubisoft, maybe you are right, but if it is a private company like Valve, the owner make the decisions...
GabeN has a fortune of about 2000 million dollars, according to Forbes... With that money you can fund a lot of AAA Linux games..

The problem here is that GabeN is not a linuxian; linux is just a plan B in case of microsoft implement the Windows store as a mandatory requisite for to install software on windows 10.

Quoting: skinnyrafOr even less intrusive, yet efficient idea: Linux-exclusive early access :)

And Hidden Steam achievements for play the game entirely on Linux or mac...
The army of obsessive achievement hunters will install Linux and play the game on it just for the get the achievement.. they will back to windows, but at least they gave Linux a try.

Quoting: GuestFirstly, an exclusive on Linux would fail almost immediately due to low populations.

That is Wrong.
If the SteamOS/Linux exclusive game is a real big game like HL3, you gonna have several millions of Windows users dual booting just for to play the long awaited HL3.

Is the same logic behind the consoles: The People that buy every iteration of the Playstation console do that for the big exclusive games and not otherwise.

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoWhen will they starting developing exclusive titles?

Exclusives are just bad, no one wants them. They push platforms, sure, but they lock you into things.

And that is the point in this industry... SteamOS itself is pointless If you don't give a real reason to the average videogame consumer for to use it...

What happen if I buy a Windows game as a gift using the Linux version of the Steam client? The gift will be in my inventory for 30 days before send it...
Will the purchase be counted as Linux sale?

Quoting: ShmerlIt's coming out on GOG too, but it doesn't seem to be made by Feral.

Two good news in one.

Can you put the GOG affiliate link, LIAM?

Quoting: GuestEdit - conspiracy theory: Feral is paid by Valve to bring more games to SteamOS/Linux or Valve allow Feral releasing their ports on Linux for free (no -30% for Valve as long as the purchase is counted as Linux). That would make sense because Feral once said that "GOG is not viable".

Actually, I always thought that Feral is subsidized by Valve..
That would explain all this steam exclusivity...
At the end of the day, is a business.
