If the Steam survey didn't count the hordes of Windows users in China, I reckon the Linux share could well be around 4% by now.

Actually, I took some time to calculate that using data from Steam survey and the proportions method (https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/proportions.html)

If users using Steam in Simplified Chinese are 56% of overall userbase (according to the survey), then 44% are non-Chinese users (I skipped users using Traditional Chinese, since they represent a tiny fraction).

Using proportions:

0.35 - 44
x - 100

Then x is 0.79 percent. That would be Linux share on non-Chinese markets.

But most of Linux users use Steam in English. English users are currently 21% of Steam userbase, according to the latest data. Then we can easily calculate:

0.35 - 21
x - 100

x is 1.6%. That is Linux share on English language market.

It has such soothing esthethics! I really like that. On the other hand - Snakebird is way too difficult for me, so this game probably will be as well :D

Quoting: g000hBig fan of FTL here. Trying to get more of the FTL-style fix I have played Orion Trail [External Link] and Out There: Omega Edition [External Link].

Orion Trail is 'okay' if you get it on a sale, and don't expect tonnes of replay value. I don't like how RNG is implemented in it.

Out There: Omega Edition is cool - I like it, but it's a bit of a slow game, and there are much more exciting things to play on Linux on PC. Noting that you can also grab it on mobile (and it plays very well as a mobile game).

Based on the review of 'The Away Team' I don't think it is going to be my cup of tea, but would probably pick it up heavily discounted in a sale.

Have you tried Convoy? Not happening in-space, but very FTL-like. Give it a go if you haven't yet :)

I usually just play the AoE2 original using Wine, but this might be a cool way to enjoy the game, too!

I wish AoE2:HD available on Steam supported Linux :P

I also bothered the developer on Twitter about it, so hopefully the game will come to Linux at some point :)

Quoting: Bumadarthis was the mail I got from the Book Of Unwritten Tales 2 Kickstarter:

(...)
Truth is we’d love to make BoUT3, but point-and-click adventure games are in a tough spot right now. Not many publishers are willing to invest in a classic adventure game and we wouldn’t want BoUT3 to be a cheap knock-off.

The "Shakes & Fidget – The Adventure" campaign is an important test for us. If it’s successful we’re not only going to make a great Shakes & Fidget game, we’ll also be able to use this success as a starting point to take up talks about BoUT3 with publishers again.
(...)

I hope it will succeed then, as I'd love to play BOUT3!

I really appreciate these short updates on RPCS3 progress :) PS3 emulation on a level already achieved with PSX and PS2 would be a great thing to have <3
