The latest Steam Hardware Survey shows Linux market-share has declined again

Quoting: peterp771I wonder how much Chinese users, many of whom use pirated Windows software, contribute to these numbers. It would be interesting to see a regional breakdown.
Afaik , Ms has a Chinese edition of Windows which is totally free.

Case is , Steam wasn't allowed before in China. People were using Windows again , they just started to count on these statics.

Even our own limited survey shows about 31.78% of people also use Windows.
Including you :P

Anyway , main thing is we are so much dependent on Steam. We need at least one out of Steam but yet popular title.

Just thinking about LoL. Despite i found Dota2 much better ( ex Dota1 player ) , something like LoL is needed.

There are so many people only plays LoL and doing some web browsing.

We need them. If we want to grow , we need mediocre and mainstream gamers more than ever.

It is highly unlikely since Mac has them and this new teaser have both Mac and Linux icons.

If it is Rise of Tomb Raider , it better be good on par about performance with Windows version

Quoting: timothyjaHopefully it has some type of Media play support built-in, I really could do with something better than what I'm using now.
Looks like it has.

This approach means that as well as being a great gaming device, Ataribox is also a full PC experience for the TV, bringing you streaming, applications, social, browsing, music, and more.

What is your source about it runs Linux?

I can't find a thing about it in the official site you gave.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPNo time to test it?
Well, that speaks volumes...
Yep, 99% of the market trumps the 1%.

Quoting: MotionshotThen why don't they release it as beta then on Steam? That way, Linux users who bought the game can help them test it while enjoying their pre-order.
You mean, so the Linux community can slate the developer for "only doing a beta release which is full of bugs and runs like sh*t, lets all tell the developer to die" ?
How can you come up with those things?

No one is doing it right now. Look at the Everspace case ; we are tolerant and co operative enough i think.

Quoting: JahimselfI'm very happy to play this DRM Free game on linux.
It's not out on GOG yet.
I don't own the game yet so I may be wrong and someone please correct me if I am.
But from what I understand the game can be launched independently from Steam.
The client is not needed for playing the game. In that case, Steam would merely be the distribution platform.
Yes , Everspace is Drm free. Some people are just thinking every game on Steam is Drm'ed. It is publishers decision , Steam is okay with either Drm or Drm free
