Consoles are dead friend. This is their last iteration.

Microsoft knows it and Sony probably suspects it.
And Nintendo is laughing at you.

Here, do yourself a BIG favor.

Sort by PC games first. http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=&publisher=&platform=PC&genre=&minSales=0&results=200 [External Link]

- Find Half-Life on that list.

- Add the Steam sales of Half-Life on Steam. http://steamspy.com/app/70 [External Link]

9.8 million copies of Half-Life (or even 11.8 million of Half-Life 2) isn't even--(wait for it)--HALF of what Wii Sports did, or Super Mario Bros. did ... in 1985!!!

If you think companies like this are going to lay down and die, just because you and your little slice of Linux said so, I can only offer this:

Pokémon GO [External Link]

Whatever you feel about this, take comfort in this one fact. If you get this game on Android, you can say you supported it on Linux. ;)
Consoles might have used to be good, but nowadays they're just overpriced, locked down pc's with their only selling point being exclusives.

Linux usage on Steam is better than people think

I personally agree with winf*gs that linux should die. If linux took over, corporate greed would completely ruin it. Cuz there's no money in open-source and free

Make hl3 a steam-linux exclusive. Boom, problem solved

Rocket League not due on SteamOS & Linux for another 6 to 8 weeks

Well then, I guess I'll be pirating the game once it comes out to show them how I feel about all these delays and stuff. Anyone with me?

Rocket League will be on SteamOS & Linux before the Xbox One in February

Ori and the Blind Forest won't come to Linux for now, thanks to Microsoft

I personally think that this news is good ~ I came to linux for privacy. By attracting attention, and making more people use linux, we are making it more vulnerable from government wishes to implement backdoors.
