Quoting: FergleFerglesonI will say, however, that using the metric of "% of my library" is a horribly flawed way of looking at the state of the union.

"% of my library" is not a good universal metric... but it can be a very meaningful metric on a personal level.

Suppose you were a newly arrived Linux gamer, like some posting here. If you then checked to see how many games bought under windows were still playable after the switch, and found over 50% of your couple hundred games had been ported, that's a great indication that your favorite genres and publishers are strong on Linux support -- worthy cause to celebrate. Pretending for the sake of example, that you love retro platformers but dislike AAA stealth games, then the current market is treating you well, and you probably don't need to get too upset about how nobody is porting the Thief series to Linux ;)

I'm assuming here of course that they're talking about games that were (mostly) bought under Windows, like someone posted here. Otherwise that statistic is a less strongly positive indication, just that there exist some games for Linux that you consider worth buying, but not necessarily your favorites that you would have been buying without having to take platform into account.

Hooray for developers switching from AIR to Haxe

I wonder if this is what is delaying SteamBox release -- could Valve have decided this is the hook to make a big splash with their console right from the start, having the best VR with some amazing game to show it off?

I'm into puzzles and not hidden object stuff, but I know somebody at my LUG who likes both and will probably be very interested in this article. Actually, I do have one of these games on my own playlist, Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink, so I'm glad to hear there is more puzzle than hidden object.
