People who are smart enough to use linux tend to be smart enough to not be mindless consumers.

>>59789658
Are you saying video games are for dumb people?

>>59789678
yes

Well there is a positive correlation between reaction time and IQ, and gamers have a faster reaction time. You've been BTFO out.

If you weren't an actual spewing retard with the IQ of trash, you'd put that "reaction time" to good use instead of engaging in escapist, anti-art, anti-intellectual, consumerist activities. Pic related, this man is a true genius and the most valuable Google engineer. He's like a God at Google and not even the CEO would go against him. He literally made Google what it is today and wrote/worked-on all of their most important software stacks. He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now, notice something interesting:

He doesn't have a duel-monitor RBG duplex gamer setup.

He doesn't have Discord or Steam or other anti-user, anti-privacy DRMed, proprietary trash open.

He doesn't use Windows.

He doesn't have a gaming- or anime-related wallpaper.

He's actually doing work.

MMM, tasty pasta!

but the market share would increase if they started releasing games for linux alongside windows... and mac.

I stopped playing video games and became much more knowledgeable. How is this possible you ask? I spend the extra time actually learning things.

if windows is so good, why does linux exist??

>>59789641
because GNU.

What's the point of becoming "knowledgeable" just for the sake of it? So you can get a better job? Well then what are you going to do with that extra money from having a better job, spend it on things that make you happy? Are you just a drone that spends 100% of your free time learning so that you can move up in your career while having no time to actually enjoy the benefits of having a better job?

Or are you just a pseudo intellectual who reads wikipedia articles and then proceeds to shitpost about how you're so superior to the sheeple on 4chan?

>>59790157
He is using a very expensive monitor in that picture, and he's using Ubuntu, which /g/ constantly criticizes for being anti consumer/using proprietary code. He's using Bose headphones and some fancy ergonomic keyboard. He has a cup of coffee that from some over priced coffee joint instead of using the coffee machine in the break room. He isn't a poster child for anti consumerism.

Albion Online is in final Beta and looking good. I hope other game companies will follow the pattern.

new anon here, it seems the critical point of interest in math was pretty shallow for me, i dump time into it and physics and doing that has had a huge impact on how i live and think. although i occasionally dwarf fort and FPS

The costs associated with developing the support for these additional platforms, as well as training and maintaining technical support staff to handle customer support for them, ends up dwarfing the potential increase in product sales.

>publish a GPL licensed game

what a stupid idea

>>59792247
If it was GPL published it wouldn't count as piracy though.

I could imagine the idea working partially, if you used a GPL'd game engine while keeping the game assets proprietary. It wouldn't prevent piracy (but all-out proprietary games don't manage to accomplish that either), but it could work as a public stunt.

They are for children

>>59790292
Adults mostly enjoy improving themselves, acquiring new knowledge, and possibly building a family, not because we need it to succeed but because we realize that there is literally nothing else in life.

>>59789641
>If GNU/Linux is so great, why don't companies create games and publish them under the GNU license?
Because GPL != GNU/Linux

>>59792622
>Adults mostly enjoy improving themselves, acquiring new knowledge
So then what the hell are you doing on 4chan? What's wrong with spending your money on things that make you happy as long as you are financially responsible?

>>59792639
I like to discuss with people, plus I get to keep in touch with internet culture.
There is nothing wrong with it, just as most people will be fine all of their lives with watching tv. It's an easy way out to not think about life and complex things, so as I said it's something suitable for children

>>59792672
You claim to hate gamers, but you embody the "stop liking what I don't like" attitude of /v/.

>>59789641
who semon demon?

>>59789651
Given how Linux also comes with a bunch of neckbeards who will do coding support for conversion,
and given how game developers don't have to pay any fees for getting their games onto Linux,
there really isn't any justification.
No matter how small it is, if it spread your game even more for almost no investment, then it's a good business move.

>>59789641
What the fuck is a GNU License

>>59789641
DirectX is windows only
Everyone hate OpenGL

This is the wrong question.

Until you realise the error there is little point in discussing the true reasons.

>>59789641
cause the PC is not for gaming!
