You can cherry pick all you want, the fact of the matter is that Linux is not what anyone on this planet installs for a gaming platform. CounterStrike was also originally an indie game.
- Sir_Substance 8y agoMy favorite indy publisher on linux is 2k games. Bioshock infinite, xcom 2 and civ 5/6 were such an unappreciated gems. Just because it didn't come from a big company man, sucks.
- overcast 8y agoNot sure any of those games were under appreciated. Those series of games got tons of critical praise. Bioshock is one of my favorites for sure!
- LeftTurnSignal 8y agoMy favorite indy publisher is Valve
- bhhaskin 8y agoYou do realize that 2 out of the 3 major gaming console runs on some form of UNIX kernels right? Not to mention the success of mobile games like Fortnite and player unknown battlegrounds that run on Linux. There is also SteamOS and the work put into platform agnostic graphics APIs like Vulkan. 10 years ago you might have been right, but you are dead wrong today.
- overcast 8y agoWe're not talking about consoles.
- Fej 8y agoOnly one of the major consoles runs a member of the Unix family, unfortunately. PlayStation 4 runs a Unix (BSD derivative), Xbox One runs Windows, and Switch runs a proprietary OS (Horizon, a microkernel OS heavily based off that of the 3DS).
- vertex-four 8y agoSo I pick games that support Linux, and honestly don’t feel like I’m missing out on much. Big Name Shooter 2018 just doesn’t interest everybody. That doesn’t mean “games don’t exist” - it means the games that you specifically enjoy don’t exist.
