I found Bridge Constructor very enjoyable.
Nine games, Linux, Android, Steam! Great bundle overall!
I only wonder why they have ceased to offer Desura support.

Quoting: AnonymousOr it falls down to 2-3% because many people are going to install windows on their machines?

The legendary average user will take his steambox as a console and won't bother/know to ditch OSes. More important factor will be the steamboxes that will come preinstalled with windows.

In true RPGs, where R stands for roleplay and it's not just a letter, the focus is on the story and not on combat, like action and hack n slash RPGs. You create a character with specific abilities and characteristics and with specific background. According to these abilities you interact with the NPCs and your companions and you make decisions that fit with the personality of your character. Different decisions have different results and most possibly different ends. Thus the good RPGs have great replay value because you can play them again and again by choosing different paths of the story. True RPGs, where you do not have just to click and kill, are Fallout for example, or Planescape Torment.

Quoting: liamdaweWhat is a true RPG? There is no such thing, what one person considers a true RPG another will not.

So a shot em up, a strategy game or even a puzzle game are all RPGs?

When it boils down to it any-game you play as a single character is an RPG, since it stands for Role Playing Game, playing as a character is playing that role, so...yeah.

So in every game you interact with NPCs in a way that these interactions develop your character and affect the in game world?

Clicked all of your links and not one looked like the other. What is a true RPG anyway? A computer RPG? There are many different types of RPGs but that one seems to be one of if not the original definition of a RPG, as opposed to an action RPG, a strategy RPG, and so on.

Every one of these advertises itself as an ACTION RPG, true?
Action RPGs are the ones which role playing is from little to not existing at all.
True RPGs are the ones with focus on Roleplaying.
