Quoting: liamdawePersonally I don't buy any of Humble's bundles unless they are featuring cross platform games and I will always stick to that. I also don't buy any games on any sort of small promise of Linux support, I only buy games that the developers have said a flat out yes to a Linux version (like Natural Selection 2 for example).

I dual boot but that doesn't necessarily mean I actually use Windows it's around for emergencies for me. As my computer has a UEFI boot thing which for some reason grub fails to install properly onto every single time so I have to manually use boot recovery and if that fails...well then I need Windows to fall back on until things stabilise for me sadly.

What distribution do you use? I know that it's best in Ubuntu (what I'm using) to partition yourself and create the EFI boot partition. In Manjaro (second favorite) I know you need to boot the command line installer to work on UEFI.
On my current Ubuntu install I manually partitioned and it's working great alongside Windows 8 (2 ssds).

Not offended at all. Yeah that's what I meant with Skype. But Microsoft has actually improved/updated the Linux version which is great. 
And you guys have to know: I grew up with the XBOX (Halo, etc.). So that's the type of video games that I enjoy (AAA). And until Linux has all the AAA games I want, I will use windows. And Windows 8 was the best $15 I've spent in a while. I've spent more on games that have been terrible. 
Fingers crossed for Assassins Creed IV to be on Linux. ;)

DRM is not a reason I take into consideration  when looking at games. Modern Piracy has basically made DRM happen.

^ That's exactly what I do. If a game has a Linux version, I game on Linux. I don't see microsoft as an evil company, after all, they didn't axe Skype for Linux.

Some people have to use windows for work, word, etc. Also, Linux doesn't support all the games I want to play. So windows is a must.

I used Windows for 15 years. It's understandable for Work, but I don't feel a Game is worth losing my rights and privacy over. Call me crazy, I just don't think I could knowing use an OS with a backdoor built-in for the NSA or see myself giving money to a company who seeks to destroy Linux by funnelling money to people like SCO and forcing OEMs to place features in Hardware like 'Secure Boot' with sole intentions of impeding installations of alternative software.

Some people I know dual boot, yet spend 90% of their time in Windows. I think people like that should probably just use Windows since it's obvious they have no interest in Linux. I wonder what all those people will do when Microsoft goes belly-up and they lose their crutch, no company lasts forever. I have Games I want to play too, but I value the lives of the men and women who died for the rights that would be stripped from me if I used Windows for a Video Game.

It's not really my opinion, but as individuals we all have different views of the facts. Sometimes it leads us down the wrong path and one day we wake up with less freedoms because of our choices. Like I've always said though, I'll never understand people that use Windows. ^_^

Incidentally, we've heard this same rhetoric from THQ and Blizzard also and nothing has come from it. "I'll believe it when I see it" is a phrase that come to mind, otherwise I ignore them and their Games.

Microsoft is one of the biggest contributors to the Linux kernel. The NSA argument is invalid because no matter what you do, you're still at some risk. I love Linux don't get me wrong, but until I can play every PC game I want to on Linux, I will be using windows.

Side note: secure boot was more for blocking malware from installing its own boot loader etc.

Not giving Deep Silver any money is a GREAT way to show Linux support. Not. 

Think about it this way, if all humble bundles were DRM free and cross platform: A) There wouldn't be as many ( I.E less frequently) B) Fewer companies would agree to have their game in the bundle out of piracy concerns etc. I honestly don't think "windows only" bundles are THAT bad, especially if the games might come to Linux down the road.

I payed the $25 because I game on Windows as well and I SUPPORT all developers.
