The numbers you cite are six months old. Linux/SteamOS has 2,628 games, up from 915 six months ago.

My main point though is that I don't want to miss any of them, so I run whatever I want instead of limiting myself to one platform for ideological reasons. I love Linux, but just not for games and desktop stuff.

      No, you are searching incorrectly because you didn't select "Games", just "Linux". If I do the same for Windows I get 13,112. So 2,629 is still only 20% of that.

        We were discussing Linux numbers. Why would I select games for all systems? There's a neat drop-down at the top menu where you can select games for each category. You chose "Linux" AND "Linux/SteamOS", which artificially lowered the numbers. I'm not sure that was on purpose, but it was a rather convenient nerfing of the numbers. Further, despite your attempt to move the goalposts, my original statement still stands: 50% of current releases have a Linux port.

        You did say that "my numbers are old" after quoting your 50% number for a completely different statistic. So you moved the goal posts, not I. But the search links speak for themselves, thanks. Not sure who you're trying to convince here. (Thanks for putting your spin on it though - it's always entertaining to watch people twist numbers so that they sound good for their argument. 50% of current releases (probably of mostly crappy indie games) certainly sounds much better than 20% of existing titles.) I guess I'd also like some evidence for your 50% number, which nobody has seen yet. Anyway - enjoy having half the games that I do because of your fanatical ideology!

        Well, according to you at least. I won't be letting it concern me too much ;)
