Linux users seem (or seemed in 2010) to have money to burn on games (and charity).
- kmm 14y agoI notice this too every time with the Humble Bundle. I mean, go to humblebundle.com right now and Linux wins again. Can anyone explain this?
- icebraining 14y agoUnsupported guesses: Fewer games means they're willing to spend more per game; They want to create an incentive for game devs to port their games; Linux users are older on average, therefore have more disposable income.
- freehunter 14y agoAlong with icebraining's post, I can confirm the reason I give more in the bundle is to show there is a market for Linux gaming to make money.
- stephen_g 14y agoI think it's likely that Linux users are more likely to respect product licensing. There is this general stigma that Linux users are cheap, but in reality I think cheapskates would just download a cracked version Windows.
