The interesting thing with commercial software that is often at odds with open source projects is that it doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work.

I had a QuantumLink account for about two-years as I was finishing up high school and then cancelled it when I went to college since I knew I wouldn't have the time or money to keep up with it. Man, those were the days. Never did play Habitat since it came out right around the time I ended my subscription, but I remember wistfully reading about it in the pages of COMPUTE!'s Gazette.

Quoting: coesetaWhen it was on Greenlight in ~2014 they tagged it with a Linux Version to get more votes. So far they did not keep their promise. So I'll believe it when the Linux version is actually released.

This seems to be the MO for a lot of smaller developers these days: drum up interest (and donations) with the promise of a Linux version then show us the middle-finger when it's time to deliver.

I played Dota 2 once and made the mistake of mentioning that I was a new player. This is apparently an unforgivable sin in the sight of some.

I miss some of my Windows-only games, but I don't miss Windows.

Good choice. I know as I was perusing the entries, this was definitely the one that caught my eye.

And now it's my new desktop wallpaper. :D

Looks like this DLC is actually worth getting, unlike the last two. I'll have to keep an eye on player reports later to see if this horribly unbalances things.

Quoting: aFoxNamedMorrisGood to know you understand the concept of proportional mathematics, Liam. Too many people put too much faith or value on numbers, not considering the bigger picture or the context.

I think Valve needs to remove the OS count from their hardware survey since it confuses too many people.

It could just be referring to Vulkan games in general rather than referring to any specific releases.

These informal surveys are encouraging, but until we have a big commercial interest pushing Linux and ensuring it gets counted, we'll never have an accurate tally of Linux desktop usage. I have a feeling that it's a lot higher than many people suspect and certainly higher than Microsoft and Apple want to admit.
