Is the retraction letter groveling enough?

So, mr. John Baine a.k.a "Total Biscuit", recently stated there are no games on Linux. This is, of course, unacceptable behavior in our civilized, modern world. And it can not, and will not, stand without consequences.

Please advice. And also feel free to add or correct (probably tons needed), as you see fit.

Eg. Is it groveling and humbling enough? Could self afflicted flagellation perhaps be an idea to add? What about sackcloth and ashes?

It was a random comment he made, no need to make a big deal out of oy. As i said before he didnt say it to his millions of followers, he said it in reply to you at random.

No its not goos that such big people say such things, but you wont change them.

I would have to disagree. If there ever was a need for outrage in the history of the world; It's this.

Imagine all the millions of starving little kids, playing their games on Linux, while looking up to Total Biscuit for game news and reviews. All the while he's going around secretly abhorring them all with furious disgust, and referering to them all as "Cult Penguin". And claiming their games doesn't exist!

It's just not right

I honestly can't get myself to care about anything Total Biscuit says.

Quoting: GuestI have to say, he is right. Compare to Windows or consoles, Linux has like 2-3% of games.
Whoa! If there are almost 2 500 games for Linux on Steam alone, that means even the console platforms have around a hundred thousand games?

I'm not expressing support for Duck Hunt-Pr0's attempt at humour (that is not likely to produce the result he expects), but blind guesses don't make for convincing arguments.

Quoting: tuubibut blind guesses don't make for convincing arguments.

I'd like to inform you that i did actually reply to @TotalBuiscuit (although i bet it might actually have been Cristian Baltoc, that uttered both the horrific "No games on Linux" and "Cult Penguin" replies); the following link https://steamdb.info/linux/ probably seconds after the first and initial "no games" incident...

There's banter, and then there's just plain malicious slandering..

I likes me a bit of seriousness in my humor..

Quoting: GuestTo be quite honest, with your replies on twitter, you look just as bad (if not worse) as those kids who spout "Windoze 4 lyfe" every where.

Thank you! #Linux4Life! ..It's a bit like "Amiga Rulez"!

Now, about that venomous, carcinogenic and probably ultra-satanic "There are no games on Linux!!!"-response to my childish, innocent, playful and rapscallion fanboy replies..

He may have been wrong about Linux having no games but you're an idiot to assume that because of you using Linux you are imune to driver or monitor issues. People like you are far worse than people like him. You go around thinking you're better than people simply because you use Linux. You act as if Linux has no faults which it does.You give the community a bad reputation pulling crap like that.

He can't be that big or important if I've never heard of him.

Just....stop. You're just going to make things worse with the attitude.
