Quoting: SeredI'd say the host system decides, so if you stream it from a windows machine, it's a windows game, no matter where you stream it to. It's running on a windows machine.

Just my logic tho ^^

I'd say that this is the most likely scenario...but at the same time "I AM" playing it and purchasing it on a Linux machine...but then again...but...oh, screw it.

Quoting: dubigrasuSo, what if I buy Skyrim on my Linux and just leave it in my account? (no playing no nothing)
Will this count as a Linux sale although is a Windows only game? :)

Actually, there are some indications that it really does :-) Stanley Parable's developer claimed on the forum he could already see some Linux purchases, even though there's still no Linux version available.

Yeah, I remember about that one, it would be interesting to work that way.

But I was scratching my head about another one:
Suppose I have a Windows somewhere in the house (or in the dog's house) and I also have a SteamOS Machine in my room.
So I purchase whatever game (possibly Windows only to make things more complicated) from the SteamOS Machine and play it only there (using streaming) for few weeks. (I don't even touch or see the Windows PC).

What kind of sale is this, a Linux or a Windows one ? :)

Quoting: ellieferalWe're working on it. What with all the Linux games we have planned, penguins are likely to swim their way onto our Feral Radar sooner or later...

My diving suit is ready!

Quoting: GBeeThe only people I've ever encountered who still run 32bit distros on 64bit architectures are crackpots who talk about 64bit not being ready for production use. They tend to actually know nothing about it because they aren't programmers.

I used 32bit until last year when I switched to SteamOS as my main system. Previously I used Mandriva and then Mageia all of them 32bit since around 2005.
I think I kept using 32 bit out of inertia and because of some benchmarks that shown (at that time) some slight advantages in gaming.

So recently I switched to 64bit and I'm glad I did it, I would never turn back now.
But calling people crackpots for their choices is not helping having a sane discussion at all.

OK then, half port it is. I just wish we had more.

Huh?

Quoting: natewardawgWhat I will be buying, unless there are bad reviews overall, is the Steam Controller.

I will buy one no matter what, I just have to test it myself and throw it away if it sucks.
But I'll be the one deciding that.
