For example, it's true that we are working on getting Steam into the living room, and are planning for a hardware box, but we have no current plans to announce anything in 2013,"

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 7522, member: 1"Wine - no idea I think they are counted under what windows version wine is showing as.

system settings with Steam under wine will show Wine also as OS, next to the windows version you put wine at

Quoting: "Agmenor, post: 7515, member: 111"Is OS X (Mac) included in the "Other" or is it not accounted for in these stats ?

MacOS 10.8.2 64 bit 1.81% +0.32%
MacOS 10.7.5 64 bit 0.88% +0.16%
MacOS 10.6.8 64 bit 0.83% +0.05%
MacOS 10.7.4 64 bit 0.20% -0.07%

as for other, that can be other linux or even wine, who knows.

Quoting: "Xpander, post: 7510, member: 92"im sure they have been in talks with big publishers to get their new titles to steambox. so probably they are quite well prepared for it already

those big publishers:
EA: origin store
Ubisoft: rumours are they moving everything to uplay store in 2013
Activision: rumours are they moving their current store and everything else to Bnet

if the big 3 are not in on it, then 90% of the AAA titles won't be in on it

They are looking to get at least $200,000 with Linux as an undefined stretch goal

and there I stopped reading and did not click to the kickstarter page, shame :/

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 7482, member: 122"I can only guess, but I imagine that it'd be a combination of licencing (if you don't give people free access to all future engine versions, then there's a chance they'll re-licence to get updates), and then the fact that developers who have a published game are probably more interested in keeping their game stable than updating to the latest source drop (if there's nothing in it that's specifically useful to your project, then the value in upgrading is pretty low).

probably right, but still.... monthly codedrops ? just release a new build every 6-8 months or so with ALL functionality in it, which opens up depending on the license a user has......... :) so after 2 years you got 4 versions max
