    But to think it is free is just incorrect.

    Did anybody say that making Linux ports is free? I certainly didn’t. I said that native Linux ports lead to a better consumer experience which cannot be denied as seen with the submitted story about the Rally game.

    Also Arthur made his obliviousness regarding Steam Linux Runtimes very clear by claiming that they were affected by changing Linux APIs all the time. That claim is just factually wrong.

      That seems to be the general atmosphere, “leaving money”. They probably analysed it and thought it wasn’t worth the effort. Companies like to make money after all.

        If all the economic news from the games industry from the last year or so should have taught you anything: No. Shortsighted whims of shareholders are not proper financial analysis. The same people who also concluded years ago that leaving Steam and going exclusively to Origin was a good idea are definitively not the sharpest tools in the shed.
