“There remains a scarcity of commercial games available for
Linux with the big game companies rarely venturing into the Linux
world. The main reason cited continues to be that its market share
does not warrant high ticket-price games being ported over to
Linux, let alone releasing an exclusive title. Also there is a
perception that Linux gamers are more reluctant to put their hands
in their pockets (not literally). However, the recent Humble Indie
experiment, where gamers chose the price they wanted to pay, showed
that this is far from the truth. The game bundles were available
for Windows, OS X, and Linux. It was Linux gamers that were, in
fact, prepared to pay (by donation) more for the same games than
their Windows and OS X counterparts. How refreshing to put to bed
that myth.”
