A waste of a whole dollar in my opinion. Most of the linux games seem to be fairly poor.gemini89 wrote:I´ve bought 11 games so far.
I wouldn´t call Counter Strike poor, but you got a point. Most games are small indie games.catweazel wrote:A waste of a whole dollar in my opinion. Most of the linux games seem to be fairly poor.
that's precisely the whole point. .. ..and I really want to support Steam for Linux, so I don´t think it´s a waste
I'm entitled to my opinion, and the implication has been manufactured entirely by your imagination, not written by me. If you want to throw your money away on mostly childish games designed for ten year olds just because you believe you're supporting linux then, by all means, throw your money away. As for me, I'll just keep making regular donations to Linux Mint.Jamesc359 wrote:Wow, that's kind of harsh. ...the implication that supporting Steam on Linux isn't worthwhile is kind of shocking.
Yes you are entitled to your opinion. At no point did I say you weren't.catweazel wrote:I'm entitled to my opinion, and the implication has been manufactured entirely by your imagination, not written by me.
I would never waste my money on "childish games" in the belief that I was some how supporting Linux. I purchase and play games for both Windows and Linux that I feel are worth my money and time.catweazel wrote:If you want to throw your money away on mostly childish games designed for ten year olds just because you believe you're supporting linux then, by all means, throw your money away.

Well I agree it´s not a lot of money, but it´s better then nothing. I have a quite limited budget, so if the games we´re more expensive, I would have bought less.Jamesc359 wrote:Wow, that's kind of harsh. Most of these games sell for $2.5-$5 on sale, I'm left wondering what do you expect for $5?
What kind of games are not childish in your opinion? Just curious.catweazel wrote:If you want to throw your money away on mostly childish games designed for ten year olds just because you believe you're supporting linux then, by all means, throw your money away.
Please don't take offense at my comments. They were in no way directed at you.gemini89 wrote:Well I agree it´s not a lot of money, but it´s better then nothing.

And it isn´t all about the money, it´s also about people playing the games at all, showing that there´s people who want games for Linux.
I know that, but that won't stop me from reinforcing my entitlementJamesc359 wrote: Yes you are entitled to your opinion. At no point did I say you weren't.

What heart? I'm 84 years old. When the quacks took my last set of chest xrays all they found was a brick swinging on a rope.Bless your heart.
HAWX 2. That covers the field, I reckon.gemini89 wrote:What kind of games are not childish in your opinion? Just curious.
Oh sorry I thought so. But well, I still feel a bit guilty for buying all those games for a really small amount. Unfortunately I´m like most people, greedy.Jamesc359 wrote:Please don't take offense at my comments. They were in no way directed at you.
I am 50.. and man, I must say it: Restpect..What heart? I'm 84 years old. When the quacks took my last set of chest xrays all they found was a brick swinging on a rope.
I do repair computers for 13 years now, and at certain age people just think: "let me alone, I am too old for that.." So I am wondering how did you manage get in the tech in the first place?
I do dringk a glas of wine each day.. sometimes two, sometimes none.. depends on the pain I have in my chest.. I think it's reasonable, and helps delute all the fat we eat, and that clogs our tubes..What heart?
but I will probably wait until it will be ported to Linux.I´m not trying to be pessimistic here, but there aren´t 300 games, a lot of the "games" on that list are DLC.Booman wrote:did anyone notice the Steam games are up to 300?
something like that ..If Steam fails it's a safe bet that none of the bigger (everything is relative) developers/publishers will even give Linux a second thought for at least half a decade.
Good point, there are a lot of expansions and downloadable content for a few games. I'm not sure why Steam is showing those as separate? maybe for the numbers?gemini89 wrote:I´m not trying to be pessimistic here, but there aren´t 300 games, a lot of the "games" on that list are DLC.Booman wrote:did anyone notice the Steam games are up to 300?
But we´ll get to 300 sooner or later.
