Oh yeah, Unity is both a blessing and a curse for Linux gaming.

Blessing because we have so much more games because of it, and a curse because it rarely works as it should.
Mouse issues, vsync issues, gamepad issues, graphic issues...you name it.
And above all and the most painful, performance issues.

Every time I hear about a new Linux game I pray: please, please, please be not an Unity game, please, pretty please.....oh crap, IT IS an Unity game...

Quoting: oldrocker99

Quoting: dubigrasuGive me Borderlands, Bioshock or something similar for a change.

Uh, Bioshock Infinite and Borderlands 2 have been released (by Aspyr, but still), and, yes, it would be nice to play the originals of both games, but I am not complaining one bit.

I'm strictly talking about Feral here and my hope to see the initial Borderlands and Bioshock titles ported to Linux as well (like they did for Mac.)

So far I like none of their Linux ported games. Yes, they are great titles and worth porting but personally my patience with Feral is wearing thin.
I bought both games although I know I will probably never play them, just as a sign of support for their work.
But if the third game will be also a strategy game, that would be too much for me, and I'll pass paying for that one too.

I'm not sure if I see it right, but it seems that both Last Light and 2033 are now available. (in the public branch).
Edit: Oh yeah, I refreshed the page on Steam and the Tux is there.

Quoting: liamdaweIf it's a Windows game, and you never play it, but it was purchased on another platform, it would default to Windows.

Same with a Windows game purchased on Linux and played in Wine. It will probably be a Windows purchase.

Still curious why Gran PC said they have several Linux sales for Stanley Parable.

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: ripper

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 ? :)
