I'm really, really glad that all of the games were available for Linux, and I'm glad the numbers show that Linux could be a viable gaming platform.
Massive kudos to all the developers!
- BoppreH 16y agoI don't think the numbers mean much. After all, this stunt was based mainly on advertisement for the bundle page, and such advertisement seemed to be focused on techie websites (hacker news, slashdot, reddit). There is also the "finally, games for linux!" novelty that may or may not wear out quickly.
- nitrogen 16y ago$250000+ just from Linux users is hardly meaningless. And even if it is just a matter of novelty, the results of this experiment could still influence other developers to start porting their games, and break the chicken-and-egg problem that prevents Linux from being a good and popular gaming platform.
