Sales Statistics For Linux Games From Different Developers, Part 4

Quoting: scaineI avoid all Early Access games, which form the bulk of this article and I wonder how many other Linux gamers do so too

I used to do the same, but I did buy Besiege, because 1) they are adapting their price to what they've actually have to offer at the moment, which avoids paying for a promise of foreign people, and 2) I did take a look into the forums for severe Linux problems and didn't find those - and didn't meet such with my installation later either.

Quoting: EikeAh, one question: Is a wireless 360 gamepad working out of the box nowadays? I heard the wired one would be easier to configure?

I don't use it very often, but it usually works fine using xboxdrv.

Good to know and glad to hear...!

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLCan anybody tell me, If I buy Dont starve together can I play in this game in singleplayer like classic don;t starve?

I don't think it makes sense to buy it if you want to play single player. It's just the multiplayer part developed seperately at the moment - but it will be added to the original Don't Starve for free when it's ready.

I liked to play Call of Duty, at least when I found a public server with people not being to childish and aggressive. Is there any suitable game on Linux for me?

Quoting: liamdaweI love how excited everyone gets about Aspyr games :D

While E.On stuff doesn't seem to fully cut it for me, I expect every Feral and Aspyr port to just work. Whatever they are porting, I would judge by the game if I want to buy it and wouldn't have to wait for port reports.

I always felt that nearly no game could beg less than Don't Starve for multiplayer.
For me it was about being so alone in an environment ao adverse...

Quoting: mastereduif you would have friends and family,

If you would sound like a troll...

Quoting: mastereduwould you *really* recommend them to use Linux? Like really? I wouldn't.

I installed Linux on my fiancée's PC and there's no problem with it.

Most people cannot properly aminister Linux?
Probably - and Windows neither.
