  1. GameSpotters have no faith in Linux on Are Commercial Games Finally Going To Make It To Linux? · · Score: 1

    According to the majority on this forum, seemingly not...http://uk.gamespot.com/forums/topic/29290779/so-you-hate-windows-8.-you-stick-with-7.-flash-forward-to-ten-years-from-now.

  2. Re:Grow Up Already on John Carmack: Kudos To Valve, But Linux Is Still Not a Viable Gaming Market · · Score: 1

    No need to debunk. The author argues enough in the comments and I read them all and in the end found no one to have successfully argued against her collection of information. Tracking browser hits is debunked by her as well, so yea.

    Microsoft, along with a few others. They are collected in this article: http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2010/09/debunking-the-1-myth.html

    Got a source for that? My sources say that Linux has at least a 5% market share. It may, in fact, have more market share than Mac OS.

  6. DOTA2? Counter Strike: Global Offensive? That would be pretty big. I hope you're right!

  7. GOG is looking into Linux too! on Valve Software Launches Linux Blog, Confirms Work On Steam Client for Linux · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about GOG, you guys. An actual employee of GOG posted this: http://www.gog.com/en/wishlist/site/add_linux_versions_of_games

    Although I do not feel as strongly about the matter as I do believe Steam to be very good, I have simply fallen in love with GOG's policies of having no DRM, no regional pricing, and other such goodies. I am presumably not as old as you, but I can very much grasp the issue you speak of, and have strenuously supported and continue to support the notion that GOG should make its way to Linux as well. I even submitted a self written article on the matter to Slashdot regarding GOG and Linux (there is more to write than you may think due to there being plenty of sources) and despite receiving an email telling me that the piece has been "favorably rated by Slashdot editors and readers," the folks apparently get too much sent in and therefore could not publish it, which I find unfortunate, especially since the Linux section is only updated with one or two articles per day as is. Whatever the case, if you love Linux, GOG, and dislike DRM, regional pricing, and other such restrictions, vote here: http://www.gog.com/en/wishlist/site/add_linux_versions_of_games
