A general guide for the best practices of buying Linux games

I have one game on Steam and hoping to eventually make a modest living off games. I don't care about the percentage of sales per platform since I will always do a Linux version... but when it comes to G2A I would rather people pirate my stuff.

Quoting: ungutknutNice! Bought it a few days ago when it was -75% on steam - speculating that it'll be released on linux.
Except, now it counts as a Windows sale, and Feral get none of the money for it.
I don't care. Wouldn't have bought it anyway if it wasn't that cheap.
And it's people like you that help to reduce our already small sale count for developers. Nice one, not.
There are countries were the game price is ten times higher (relative to the income). How much is Mad Max, 30 Euro? Would you still buy it at 300 Euros to support Feral/Linux?
Invalid argument since the game will be on sale again. I know every sale seems like a blink and you'll miss it sort of thing, but really it's not. On Steam the sales run like clockwork. At least two big sales still left this year.

Quoting: damarrinThat's excellent news!

Interestingly, the Feral radar is showing the "Depth Charge" game coming sooner than Mad Max...
Unfortunately the Feral radar is less like tracking a bunch of slow moving ships, and more like tracking a swarm of angry bees.

Quoting: Guestdoesn't look like I'd pay $20 for this
You're right, $30 would be more fair. ;)

Try removing libasound.so(.2) from the 64 bit libraries in your steamruntime. I got it down to libasound on arch.

look in ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
thanks both! all good now

Quoting: KeyrockDid this update fix the game's thoroughly disappointing ending?
Spoiler, click me
SPOILERY POST:

I hope not. The ending was exactly the point of the story. Both people escaping their real life circumstances by getting themselves worked up in all manner of paranoia, only to be brought back to reality.

EDIT: Oh yeah, spoilers. :P
