Checking the forums, it's indeed only an update to MonoDevelop. I stand corrected.

The problem with getting any 'killer' app on Linux is that most killer apps, outside of a specialized subset, aren't going to be Linux-exclusive, so there isn't any reason to go for Linux in particular...yet. Steam on Li

No, antimagic is saying that there isn't enough evidence to conclusively demonstrate that they actually did perform better, rather than it being due to some other factor--such as random noise from the small sample size. Post hoc just

Is there a Kickstarter hangover? Genuine question--I've been hearing about "Kickstarter fatigue" for years now, and I'm not sure the data is there to support it. Anyone have any figures on this?

Valve has a high page-rank for "Steam", what makes you think that they can't also co-opt "Machine"?

Most major engines, such as Unreal/UDK, already allow export to Linux and consoles, so what the console supports isn't the limiting factor it was when everyone had to code directly to the metal.

That ratio explains a lot.
