New Linux Gaming Survey For April

Filled in :)

Done

done ^_^

Done -- I will be buying all the triple A titles that come to Linux; even if I'm not that interested in playing them (I will at least start them up so I count).

I filled it out also. The last question
Unique Question 2: Will you be getting a Steam Machine any time after release?
Gaming PC running SteamOS
Yes
No
Still undecided
Already built my own
Planning to build my own

I find it hard to answer. I have built my own, but not running steam os. It is running Fedora 20 and booting straight into steam big picture. So I count it as a steam machine, only better in my opinion. Will buy the steam controller when it's out.
Anyways I chose "already built my own" as it's about as close as the available answer will allow.

I found the AAA question difficult to answer.. I don't know what half of those AAA games are about, so I only ticked the ones that I know I'll be getting. If the others looks good to me when they release, then I'll probably get them too.

Well there's actually a change in response this month from me - my trusty old Phenom X4 died and I've replaced it with a 4790K. My first Intel CPU for many, many years. I think the last one I had was running at about 300MHz!

I had to tick quite a few boxes for those upcoming games I plan to get... just don't tell my wallet or the wife

Well Skully, it's not a Steam Machine officially unless it runs Steam OS, so your answer is really a no.

Done.
But was Witcher 3 really announced for Linux at GDC? Was there anything in addition to the SteamOS sale? I'd love to see any sort of confirmation from CDPR about this.

Ok if thats how it is, I will choose "no" in future.

Well, unless youre undecided on if you're buying one that is. Else it would be a No.

We don't class a PC running Windows with a custom UI for Steam a Steam Machine. So we shouldn't count any distro booting to big picture mode either.

Done.

I'm on Intel and AMD, but it's not put together due to lost faith in a retailer that happens to have the motherboard I need/want so I don't have to build a whole new system. Even worse is that I am hesitant to put new hardware on this PSU from a trade with a friend who should have known better than to buy the brand I got from him.

In short, I'm unfortunately not playing games on my own system until I build a whole new one.

I will most likely be ditching AMD GPUs, so I answered a little bit as though I had a PC still built, but without saying I'm buying games at the moment. I buy Linux games exclusively at least when I can play them, so I answered some questions as though I didn't stall my PC shopping and rebuild. Still a Linux gamer here.

Quoting: GuestIt might be time to change "Games using Wine wrappers (such as The Witcher 2)" since The Witcher 2 has never been using Wine.

This^

More fitting examples: System Shock 2 (Crossover wrapper, available on Steam), Flatout 2 (Wine wrapper, available on GOG).

Hair split: If I build a PC or buy a prebuilt, it will be around portability and playing games on Linux. I'll forgo Windows as much as possible. Add this to the fact that I will install SteamOS when it's ready and buy a Steam controller. Until SteamOS is ready or if I don't like it for some reason I can't even predict, I'm still calling it a Steam Machine. I don't think the distro matters that much, especially when other distros could do what SteamOS will do or improve upon it.

The survey is a joke?

Why would it be a joke? We do it every month.

Todays date?

The joke is that the image for this months poll says "Survey results for March March March", instead of "Survey input for April"? :P

Easiest solution: removing "Wine" from the existing sentence and leaving it at "Games using wrappers" (and maybe adding "such as XXX, YYY, or ZZZ" if you want to further clarify.)
