Except of course when the average price paid by Linux users in a pay-what-you-want game bundle was double that of the other platforms. http://www.humblebundle.com/
Interesting. And I thought Linux gaming was still living in the shadow of Loki, where a company cherry picked games that were commercially successful on other platforms, only needed to pay the cost of the port, had no real competition, generated intense interest and even a lot of users, but failed to monetize that and ended up going out backwards. Loki has become a case study for anyone thinking of selling commercial software on Linux.
I wonder if, via some perverse mechanism, this has now increased the value of games on Linux due to do a much reduced supply. Strange world indeed.
