Good catch! But I wonder how this payment system works. If I buy Civ V on my Linux machine but only play it on Windows for whatever reason, Aspyr's not getting paid, is it?
not my cup of coffee though, but bought it to support linux stats..
made a quick and sucky gameplay video as well (firstimer)

QuoteAh...EXCELLENT question!http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/27ssw5/introducing_sid_meiers_civilization_v_for_steamos/ci4460q
If you purchase on the Linux client, Aspyr would get credit for the sale immediately BUT Steam is smart, so once your buddy plays on Windows the system knows that user is really a PC customer and gives the credit back over to the fine folks at 2K. Sometimes there is a grey area where we split the revenue up but that is pretty rare. Its really a pretty smart system.
Interesting stuff, has anyone else seen any insider info on how Steam detects platform of sale before this?
Man, I wish Civ V had the console-friendliness of Civ Revolution [runs for cover]...
Not my favorite game but still great to see.
lmao! +1 2k! But Witcher is way better than any ur games! imho!
