Hasn't the Humble bundles proved over and over that Linux gamers *will* pay for non-DRM games?
Humble bundles has proved that Linux gamers will pay for non-DRM games, but obviously this proof is not enough for some people.

Whether or not a game has DRM it will still nearly always be available for free on torrent sites the same day it's released. This has been proven time and again.

DRM sucks and will always suck, though a 60 USD game isn't really tempting price to get a game. at least not for me. i do recall that limited collector editions games back in the end of the 90s were about 60USD as highest price. the cost/fun ratio is truly poor nowaday. Lack-Of-Vision has been a very stupid publisher for ages and now since it merged(?)/acquired blizzard well it went for the worst.

Every Blizzard game sells damn well and they know theres a Linux demand due to all the people playing their games via Wine, which is what they're betting on, that anyone wanting to play Diablo 3 will just make it run on Wine and make a profile of WineTricks or PlayOnlinux. This is why I really don't like the idea of Wine...
