Toy Soldiers: Complete May Come To Linux If The Interest Is There
3 Mar 2014 at 4:02 pm UTC

I am starting to resent statements like these. It does not mean we have different game tastes just because we run Linux. We run the same hardware and input devices ffs. Countless studios have already witnessed that the market exists.

If the devs are not sure their game is worth our attention perhaps they should not be making it in the first place. All new games should start with OpenGL from day zero. This will save dev time and other resources, prevent frustration, theirs and ours, and as Valve has shown will even increase performance.

I currently own many more games than I've actually played. This means that THEY need to come to us with their product. Time for begging is over.

Because people like to spread FUD, think that what they believe is reality, don’t do their research… I’m pretty sure this myth has been debunked here a few days/weeks ago (in the Witcher 3 article?) but of course you have to repeat everything again regularly.
You are correct about that myth being debunked in The Witcher 3 article. Slides are available in the article itself, and there's a video in the comments too. This fallacy needs to die.

Steam Hardware Survey For February 2014, Linux Is Holding
2 Mar 2014 at 1:15 pm UTC

I started using Steam only when it launched closed beta on Linux. I used to get the survey every time. But then they 'fixed' something related to reports of users never seeing them. I haven't seen one since ;)

Steam Hardware Survey Changes, Now Split Per-Platform

I for one am glad to see 32 bit linux going away. Sadly Windows is slow to catch up. And that is not likely to change considering the situation in China.

BeatBlasters III An Action-Platformer And Rhythm Game Released For Linux

What is confusing is how an indie game like this didn't have to go through greenlight for Steam? They don't seem to have a publisher and I can't imagine this game making Steam too much money. Steam confuses me sometimes.
AFAIK all new games in Steam now have to go through Greenlight, indie or not.

Confusing, indeed.
