Id like to see a company that just makes amazing AAA games for Linux / SteamOS only, and watch the other platforms squirm. haha

Still sad that even after getting 2 Billion dollars, they cant afford to pay maybe 2 more people to keep up on a linux port. now once they get everything all up to where they want it to be on "Windbloze", they are gonna have to take even more time to catch up on the abandoned Linux port. I saw this coming the second they sold themselves to facebook. At least we have the Steam VR. To hell with Oculus.
Linux Drops Below 1% On The Steam Hardware Survey

Yeah they are doing these surveys all wrong. They need to start giving every user a survey each month(not this random "i might get one", bull crap). Or have their system do a automatic OS scan for each user when they login to steam, and then put up the results. Also i know they like to show the different distributions, and some people like to see what different ones people use to play steam on, but is it really needed? Cant it just say Linux? For those distros that dont show up on there, are they actually getting accounted for? If they cant manage to send a survey to each user once a month, couldn't they add a section in the steam client to take that survey once a month?
Sorry for the ranting, but it's like we are being shown to the developers as a "still declining os for the gaming market", when its not our fault that we all aren't getting the chance to show them our numbers. I know a lot of the devs who are doing great in Linux sales are appreciative, and happy they made the choice to support us, but the ones who are thinking about it, or are not sure if they should, aren't going to have much enthusiasm, if these numbers are dropping because of the lack of surveys.
Also! (a bit off topic).. The way steam determines what sales go to which OS; i think that needs to change as well. I think it should just be by client, and not "what OS you play it on the most during the first week". It doesn't make any sense. If you buy a game on the steam android app, then i could see OS determined by what you play it on. So call me crazy, but i do sometimes find a windows game on steam for sale at a very high discount, and i will purchase it, just cause i have wanted that game, and id have it for any future chance of it coming to Linux. Until then i dont play it. Now if that sale right there is accounted as a Linux purchase cause i bought it on the Linux steam client, that could also show the developers (if more people on Linux did the same), that people are interested in wanting to see it come to Linux. Or it could be (That person might be dual booting, and has a windows OS, but he just bought it on his Linux partition, and will go back to play it on Windows) type thing. Who knows. It's all things that could potentially help encourage devs to bring more of their games to Linux.
Maybe its just me venting, but im glad i threw out some of my thoughts on the subject.
I will stop now..haha

Hopefully that Darksiders port, that we have been waiting forever for?? Possibly Darksiders 2 as well?
who knows. There are to many to hope for. Although GTA V would be a instant buy for me.
