As a side note for this discussion, you might be interested to know that in Finnish word "palli" is singular for "balls".
    I was under the impression that a troll was someone who just wanted attention, and wasn't beyond spamming or being as offensive as possible to get it. Besides he claimed to be a troll earlier in the discussion. Owned up to it and everything. I'm just granting him the title.
    On-topic: I don't think the amount of Linux users will increase in near future this fast. The majority of people interested in Linux gaming are probably using Steam until now, so the future increases for Linux share will be much less. Current 2 % is pretty well on line with web OS statistics too (although they aren't very reliable).

    However, things might change quickly if Valve or some other company decides to release some big AAA game exclusively for Linux first. Half-Life 3, anyone?
    I do think it's all kinds of interesting that Infinity Ward is making this kind of noise about the Piston. If Microsoft keeps dynamiting its brand like it's been doing, well ... it's like I've said before, I think there's justifiable reason to be hopeful. Personally, I'd be all giggly if I could get Half-Life 2 sometime soon.

    great comeback faggo, you forgot to mention you are also able to the same in windows or os x or pretty much wherever you setup that SDK.

    so, pray tell, what profit has linux gained from having a million android game titles available?


    now do the math, you cock craving homo:

    steam box will be ubuntu based. Same as chrome OS.


    ubuntu will have Mir, ergo, steam will have mir or perhaps a completely new display manager...


    now let's say Steambox is a sucess and it sells a couple of million


    DO YOU REALLY THINK IN THAT GAY BITCH HEAD OF YOURS THAT A COMPANY WILL BOTHER PORTING SHIT FROM STEAM OS (a highly modified fork with new display manager, propietary drivers etc etc etc) TO XORG/WAYLAND or fucking knows what?

    yeah that will be the day, for what? to sell 100 copies to linux players


    lol


    get real cock whore.


    now enjoy me sodomizing that piece of shit whore you call mom and watch me as I cum all over her ass, she will then shit to live another larian

    for, you see, you weren't given birth to

    you were defecated into existence.


    speaking of ignore, let me place your mangled and mutilated by dick ass(hole) on my ignore list because your fingers are lil assholes and you don't type, you shit all over these forums.
    I'm civil by default, and can be offensive when I choose to be. What's more, I do both better than you. You're offensive because you can't cope with life, and you're a failure as a human being. Even your insults are childish and repetitive, and you can't manage basic grammar and punctuation. You also have a fascination with anal sex and feces ... did that crack about being ass raped by your mom's boyfriend hit too close to home?

    Being on your ignore list makes my dick hard, because there is no version of this exchange where you win. If you respond, I own your ass because you came back for more. If you don't, I own your ass because getting you out of my life forever was the point all along. Pwned and done ... tool.

    And that, dear Phoronix readers, is how you properly deal with a troll - you choke him with his own shit.

    ahahaha you sick psycho faggot, you can tell a lot when some sick fuck always resorts to sick shit ( beastiality etc ) to come up with insults.


    I bet your hard drive is filled with all sorts of illegal pornography, someone get the fbi on this faggot's ass before he rapes more animals
    Pretty much all of them as near as I can tell, provided you're willing to set up and run an SDK. However, I'm getting the feeling that Valve isn't planning to do things this way as they've already ported two of their engines to Desktop Linux and promised to do Lin/Mac/Win releases of all their games going forward. Granted, caution is always good, but I think there's some real merit here for hope.

    Wow, you're pretty quick to sling the homo-as-an-insult thing, aren't you? That's projection. Probably from having your uncle rape you. No fair asking other people for help. Everybody has you on their ignore list anyway, and nobody cares about your daddy issues, you gutter-mud whore.

    you really think all steam box games will be released for linux????? lololol


    come back in years time and tell me how that went
    I don't imagine anything will come in a year's time. Two? That's another story. You asked for CoD on Linux and I gave you the best news available to me. If IW is interested in the SteamBox - which will be Linux based - I'd say that looks good for CoD unless they've gotten into lackluster flash games recently and nobody told me.

    If you don't like that, then go fuck your mother some more when the dog is done with her.
    (Do you *really* want to get into a Tourette's insult fight? Good god boy, I'll melt your computer. LOL)

    Well, I just bought CS:GO. I didn't like CS:S too much, but GO feels quite OK. Though the console-ish configuration options and GUI are a bit disappointing. Hoping for a Linux port soon.

    Asteroid on Vectrex. First PC was a 386SX-33 with 8MB RAM and 110MB hard disc. Slow to get started on the PC's I was, but never looked back.
