Recognizing the growing market for The Final Station in the open source community, the developers have made their hot-selling title available for the Linux OS. The indie game, which Do My Best Games and TinyBuild launched for PC, Mac, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this summer, became available for Linux last week. Although the post-civilization genre is fairly crowded space, the zombie-killing horror ride has earned generally positive reviews from veteran games critics, who appreciated its narrative and level of detail.
I'm sorry but they don't, nobody is gonna give your OS a second glance because you have some game made by Joe and Bob, I don't care if its got the name recognition of Super Meat Boy its just not gonna matter.
Until you can say with 100% confidence that the top 25 games on PC can run on your OS and not only that but run at LEAST as good as it does on Windows? Then nobody is gonna take you seriously. Hell even the article points out you have a grand total of 400 out of 25,000 Steam titles, that number is so low its a joke, I can probably find more of those 25k titles that will run on Windows XP, heck probably more than will run on Windows 98, than run on your OS and that is just sad.
Excuse yourself and this article ARE incorrect. As of November 2016 the number of Linux-compatible games on Steam exceeds 2,000. steamdb.info/linux/ and many are current A list titles.
We in the Linux gaming community happen to enjoy our OS of choice for our gaming platform.
If we accept your numbers? You have less than 10%, which again you can probably find more games on that list that will run on Win98, and without a doubt WinXP, than your OS supports...and that gap widens every.single.day.
Sorry but SteamOS is dead, its growth is flatline, and Linux has been stuck at below the margin for error for nearly a decade...still not impressed.
It’s All Aboard for Linux Gamers at The Final Station
