Unity Stats Show Linux Gamers Are Well Below 1% Of Their Customer Base

[Hi-Angel]

Windows XP at 17.3%

I'm wonder, how much of that is Wine imitating XP. Unity should get some way to distinguish Wine users (the problem though is that accordingly to Wine FAQ that way would break in some point because it is supposed to be a bug, though not important one).

I don't understand how these statistics are gathered. I don't think each individual game submits this data. Unity is appealing to indie devs, and indie games are the most popular on linux,

Most of the titles available on Linux are indie titles but that doesn't mean that they are more popular on Linux than other platforms.

Well, the Windows Genuine Advantage tool does it by checking for the existence of certain Wine-specific registry keys. I doubt the Wine devs are in a hurry to hide those or move them to separate storage.

If you knew remotely accessing was going to be a problem, you should've had the foresight to port forward ssh.

Busybox - isnt safe mode, afaik it doesnt support ssh..
