Steamspy says there are 275 million active users on Steam. 0.27% is about 750 thousand. Maybe it's true that Linux users migrate to Windows? Before PUBG and China, there were 150m and 1% respectively, which gave us 1.5 million of Linux users.

Quoting: 1xokThese games are also very popular outside China.

I mean, there are very few games popular in China. An average Chinese Steam account has GTA V, PUBG, CSGO/Dota and nothing else.

The most popular Steam games in China are Windows-only GTA V and PUBG, so even if there are millions of Linux users in China, they see no point joining Steam. Maybe if these games got Linux versions, we would see growth of Linux market share because of Chinese Linux users.

Linux and Mac versions on GOG and Windows only on Steam? That's very unusual.
Aren't DOS versions of EWJ 1-2 inferior to SMD/SNES?

Quoting: TcheyI never found any game close to Lost Vikings gameplay until today, by the way.

I heard The Cave is similar to this. Trine may remind The Lost Vikings too.

It runs bad on my computer, about 20 fps while I have 45-80 in Verdun. Damn Unity.
I like Tannenberg so far with its 64 players, differing from Verdun map structure and Mosin rifles, but it's painful to play at 20 fps and 300 ms ping.

The game is very glitchy now, yesterday I joined a server, and many players (including me) couldn't even spawn there.

Quoting: EikeWasn't it the only incentive ever of Valve for Windowsers to try Linux? :)

There is an achievement in Postal for launching the Mac or Linux version of it. 8.6% of gamers got it.

Back then I didn't have Linux on my main computer and I had given my laptop with Windows 7 + Ubuntu dualboot to my brother, so I could try Steam for Linux only few months later (on said laptop). And I made this screenshot:
Does anyone remember TF2 Tux hat?

Imagine what marketshare would Linux have if everyone in China used Linux.

Maybe they should, but it doesn't mean they would. Many Feral games perform poorly with my FX-8350, including Grid Autosport, Mad Max, Life Is Strange. Newer games perform better than older ones, but still much worse than their Windows versions.
If Feral don't note AMD, that means they don't guarantee their game will run fine unless you have Intel and they haven't been testing it on AMD.
