"All of 11bit studios' proceeds from this DLC go to the War Child charity focused on helping children who suffer from conflicts and wars around the world."

I'm not dual-booting anymore, but I used to for games.

When I deleted Windows last April, I found that I had booted it only twice in half a year. One time for a picture from a vetinary in a very specific format, and I think once for tax declaration.

It seems Windows survived much longer than it had to. Why? Well, I used Windows since pre-3.0 times. I guess I had hard times to imagine I could do fully without. Maybe, I would need it? Some day?

Now if it doesn't work under Linux natively (no WINE), I'm not using it.
To show publicly that I will not buy if it is not on Linux, I joined these groups:

With the new game Parallax, we now should have 1000 games on Steam, I guess?!?

There might be two problems when counting games on Steam:
The number is lower when you sort the list by date, because there are a few games that seem not to have a date attached.
And there are some games not available in some regions of the world.
So in my place, Germany, I see 996 games sorting by relevance and 991 by date.
That at least excludes Football manager 2014 and 2015 and Dying Light, which AFAIR are available for Linux.
If that's true, I'd get a 999 internationally...?

Quoting: scotsman9999Just as I feared would happen eventually, on the sale page the icon for Linux is no longer Tux but the generic circled Steam logo. Does "Linux" still scare devs that Valve has to cover it up with 'SteamOS' now?

I had a bit negative feelings as well about this at first, but then...
If a very well know company with a hundred million users uses it's brand sign for a Linux distribution, it is counting on Linux.
