I would buy a lot of games but I can't - I won't pay for ignoring my platform.
Let's hope being a very open platform and being able to run anything from a full web browser to a video editor will be a big enough selling point.
I did it in past with some games, because softwarehouses promised it will come for linux soon (remember UT3, Rage). There are other examples where developers promised map editors and mod editors (OT). I swore to myself that I will buy a game only if it will have what I want and I will never more trust in promises (i.e. linux port will come soon, map editor is in progress, some DLC will be a gift...). Customers do the same with petitions: they promise to buy a game for some conditions and when it's time to pay they crack it.
For my opinion a "cash out if it will come out for linux click" would be a strong signal to increase linux porting, so customers would definitely buy the game and the softwarehouses are forced to port it if they want the money.
Since linux games won't be limited to Steam Box I wouldn't give much importance to sales, OS surveys are probably the ones to look at. After all, what companies can claim to have games that run and are played on their console technology before the console is even sold? ;)
I like that idea. If producers see an amount of cash they get for sure if the games is ported, it might help...
also it should work with other system such as mac OS (and windows).
yeah, unreal 2.5. in no way shape or form reflective of UE3 ports.
