Quoting: vulture
Quoting: MetallinatusI hope this is the beginning of something great....
I would buy Total War: Shogun at day 1 if it comes to Linux too :)
ohh, dear... another strategy. like we don't have enough of these. well, E:TW is the last strategy for me to support porters. i'm starting to get the feeling that by buying to support i'm somehow promoting fact that i would like them, so that would be it for me.
Not enough Japan-inspired games yet through :)

All I want is to open my G+ someday and see "The Witcher 1 & 3 for Linux confirmed" (wouldn’t' mind some new HL too)....
But hey, Bioshock! It might be fun!

Steam Hardware Survey For November 2014, A Growth Is A Growth.... Right?
5 Dec 2014 at 2:11 am UTC

Quoting: ElectricPrism100,000,000 Steam Users * 0.013 = 1,300,000 Users

Maximum Sales for a $9.99 Game x 1,300,000 = $12,987,000 if 100% of Linux users who login this month buy a game.

If only 1% of those Linux users buy the game the developer still makes (12987000×0.01) $129,870.00

I've been dying for a Linux Racer all year long, my point is whatever racer comes to Linux stands to make at least $130,000 to $1,000,000 just by being the first to penetrate the market.

Money talks, pass these statistics on to developers considering Linux.
There is Project CARS coming sometime next year....
But I really lost my excitement for the game when, from all the platforms the game will be released on, they decided to delay the release of exactly the very only two that I care about....
I was thinking about buying on both platforms.... now I don't even know anymore :[

I Am Bread - You Will Finally Be Able To Fulfil Your Most Desired Dream

Quoting: edoNo linux icon?
It was not released for Linux yet, so you should wait to buy it....

Quoting: liamdaweI'm sure it will keep growing as people try to cash in on these "Simulator" games.

Some people most really like them...not me.
Well, I personally liked what I've seen from this game and I do like Goat Simulator too.... as long as you have enough stuff to do or to explore it can be fun.
Then.... you also get jokes like Grass Simulator and Mountain Simulator and other games that were really made just for the sake of being made and not for the sake of trying to make a really fun game....
Those are games with really poor quality.... but I believe Goat and Bread are nice ones.

GOG & Steam Both Hit Milestones For Linux Games

Well, Steam has DOSBox too.... you know what I'm talking about if you played Shadow Warrior Classic Redux on Classic mode :D
Congratulations to both Steam and GOG! I really really really hope CDRP brings The Witcher 1 and 3 for us, so I hope Linux sales are doing well for them too....
Well, good luck on your new job, Liam :)

Quoting: sub
Quoting: MetallinatusWait what? Didn't that game was released on Steam some time ago FREE?
I am pretty sure it was o.õ
That was its predecessor "You Have to Win the Game".
Ohhhhh true, that was the name of the one I played!!
I didn't even know (or didn't remember) it has a sequel.... and honestly, now that I know.... I will still not buy it.
26 "reais" is just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for a game like this one....
